We had three (four counting today) clear days in a row. That has to be some sort of record. It was cold, too, so I drank a lot of tea last week. The little tags fold open, so you can make notes inside them.

DIY Planner
I haven’t liked any of the planner inserts or DIY hacks I’ve seen (or, at least, when I did like them, they didn’t end up working for me), so I made my own out of 60lb student grade “art” paper. Tearing the paper and punching holes took me about 30 minutes, and it’ll take me some time to block out all the dates (I got through April done during today’s meeting).
The bonus is that during meetings, I now have easy access to art paper for doodling. I’m all for using what you have, and if all you have during a meeting is a steno pad, then that’s what you use. But having better paper at hand is nice
And now, that’s one more thing I can cross off my 101 Things list.

I’ve been working on this one through several meetings (phase 1 and phase 2). We had a two hour presentation this afternoon, and I think I’m just about out of room.
We also had a carry-in meeting-slash-party for a coworker’s 10th anniversary. I may have mentioned that I’m not a big fan of the office carry-in? I don’t know why they make me cranky, but they do. And the worst part is that there are always leftovers, and the leftovers always get stuck on a book truck right behind my cubicle. You know, where the phone is. Because the only thing more irritating than having to answer and/or listen to everyone’s phone calls is being distracted by an endless parade of people bellying up to the snack bar.

This one is a little sloppy, and didn’t turn out quite the way I intended. I may try a similar drawing tomorrow, minus the concentric bits in the interior of the “petals.”

This one isn’t very big, and it’s not very intricate, but it’s kind of cute.
