Magpie and Muttonfly

As of late I’ve noticed a disturbing trend–my “To do” list has taken on a life of its own.  Sure, it may have started out innocent enough.  But one thing led to another, and before I knew it, it had grown to twice my size.  Now I’m forced forced to eat a box of Twinkies just to work up the strength to THINK about it.     

If you’ve ever been there, don’t fret; for BEHOLD–your answer …

{baby steps, my friends, baby steps}

That’s right, Chronicle Books has published a notebook of ”mini goals.” Simply choose the design that best fits your needs and fill it in… 

{look at me go!}

See?  I feel better already.   And if you don’t meet your goals?  Well, that’s okay too. It’s like a Project Manager and Therapist all rolled into one.   

So what are you waiting for?  There’s no time like the present to look that list of to-dos in the eyes and whittle away … one little goal at a time. 

And not to add undue alarm or anything, but we are nearing the middle of August; which can mean but one thing: Christmas will be here before we know it.  Your friend who’s always jotting lists, the eternal procrastinator, your best girl who could use a laugh?  This would make a perfect gift!  So buy one for you, one for them, and you’ll be ahead of the game … if you can even imagine …

Now, for my disclaimer:  I did receive this notebook courtesy of Chronicle Books and Miss B., of The Blah. So first things first: Thank You!  

Now I realized, before it ever arrived, that I would jot a wee post if it was cute; if it wasn’t all that, it would get squadoosh. As you might have guessed, it really is a fabulous little notebook.  Which, I imagine, is precisely the reason they agreed to give a few away.
