I'm about to talk about a hypothetical person. (If you are reading this, this post is not about you. Just...um...so we are clear. Not you. Someone else. OBVIOUSLY.)
It's about people who make it IMPOSSIBLE to give them a decent gift. You know THOSE PEOPLE. The "do you have a gift receipt?" people. Eye roll. The "oh, how nice" people whose faces look like they are eating cow doo doo while they unwrap the gift. Bless their hearts.
The kid who says, "thank you. My mom says I have to say that even if I hate the gift." Sigh.

My tiny blog makes me happy. I feel like I get to think out my processes and share good ideas with a community of planner folks, parents, organized ladies (and a couple of gentleman, but stats reveal there are only about two of you), and some Loyal Readers.
When I was 21, I was a teacher at a Catholic middle school. The school rules did not allow students to write on their bodies after several kids made some temporary tattoos with ink pens.

I got a new car.
The salesperson wants me to say, "I got a new car!!!" I know that for sure since he commented on how unexcited I was at the negotiations and title signing.
There are days when there is so much that must be done. It can make a person crazy. When the stress becomes overwhelming, I turn to my planner to handle it.
(I also turn to coffee, escapism in the form of romance novels, and burrito-wrapping myself in blankets. See? Crazy.)
Due to circumstances mostly beyond our control, our household ended up with an Elf on the Shelf named John Henry. He doesn't watch the kids for evidence of naughty or nice behavior. He's just a fun game we play.
And, honestly, even though the *****ing Elf is a pain to move around, we've mostly enjoyed him. (The asterisks are totally nice words. Or naughty words. John Henry doesn't care either way!) I've compiled the best of John Henry's adventures, along with some of our more revealing Elf Facebook statuses from last year.
