Happy Tuesday, friends. Several projects were in the works last week that left this space neglected. Here's the short list of where we are:
1) Out of Stock: Lamenting the discontinuation of a favorite lipstick is tough. However, finding out your agenda refill is sold out and permanently out of stock in mid-October is especially unsettling. Since this planner has been my sanity for the past seven years, there was no alternative but to start 1) a phone campaign to stationers and 2) an exhaustive Internet search to track down a refill. Fingers crossed, one may be on its way from an obscure paper maker in New Jersey.
2) Archaic: On a related note, electronic planners have failed me time and time again. The iOS7 version is especially...not good. I could go through an entire pro/con list of the iOS7, but will succinctly just say I doubt seriously Jobs would have given it the green light. In his biography, Jobs is quoted as saying of his youngest (and most precocious) child, "She's the one who will be running Apple someday." I'm ready to give her a shot. Don't get me wrong... it's still the superior product, but it's clunkier and less "clean" than previous versions.
3) Gracie Fairness Doctrine: A common refrain at our house is: That's not FAIR! If only we received a dollar every time that statement is spoken. Gracie, especially, has created a sliding scale of fairness. Details will be kept confidential out of respect for her privacy, but she could have a wonderful future in politics.
4) Related: Speaking of politics, we have managed to become involved in an upcoming voting issue. Our role is very, very minor, but being involved in a door-to-door campaign is sending this extreme introvert into shock. Granted, I'm never at a loss of words (either here or in person), but knocking on doors to discuss an issue with members of the community is a big step out of my comfort zone.
And that is truly it. We are hoping to get back on track this week. What is happening with you?
