PTI

I get these "PTI: Pardon the Interruption" emails where other attorneys are asking for some referral or information about 2-3 times a day at work. In these emails, the attorneys are usually apologizing for interrupting our very busy days. With this PTI, I'm not apologizing for that, but rather for the interruption in the blog posts schedule....seroiusly, where have we been??!!

I don't know about Tink, but I certainly do not have a very good excuse. I mean, other than, you know, just being busy with life. Anyways, my apologies.Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...

I did pretty good with my "getting organized" goals! I didn't hit them all exactly as written, but I think I totally fulfilled them in spirit.

1) I cooked for myself! Okay, so not three times like I wanted to, but I made one big meal and it served me 4 times - thank you Paula Dean and your easy chicken pot pie (seriously, try it, it's YUM-O).

2) I called my mom at least 3 times AND remembered my Dad's birthday. Go me- favorite daughter status for sure.

3) I did NOT wake up in the morning for the gym. Honestly, it is just TOO HARD. I am currently too addicted to BONES (David Boreanaz...SWOON) to go to bed before midnight, so the morning gym thing is NOT happening. However, I did go to the gym 5 times last week. And I lifted weights 2 of those times, so I'm thinking this is still a win.

4) Not sure I called any long-lost friends. However, I did buy 2 friends birthday gifts AND i hung out with some old college buddies in DC...so again, I'm thinking win.

So...what have I learned? Well, I guess I've learned that the act of SETTING some organization goals is at least 1/2 of the organization battle. Write down your commitment to organization (or, even better, tell it to a friend or parent) and you're definitely more likely to stick to it.

In other news, I'm traveling for work for the first time ever this week and I'm TERRIFIED. Seriously, so nervous. WHAT IF I RUIN EVERYTHING?!
