My "Fagula"

I'm going to need Lindsay B to give the real definition of "fagula" on her page; because to be honest, I don't remember what is actually is...
All I know is that "my fagula" is my day planner.

I would not be able to function without it.
I also am a habitual list-maker, not only because I LOVE IT, but also because I have found that it calms my anxiety. If I feel that I can organize and control AT LEAST this one aspect of my life, then I'm good to go. Ha-ha, I must say that I'm disturbingly attached to my day planner... I remember one instant, when a friend asked me to bring my day planner to coffee time and I replied...”HAH! That’s like asking me to bring my breasts! DUH!"
Needless to say, it is ALWAYS with me.
Each day is scheduled in perfect chronological order. The first thing I do when I wake up, after showing and blow drying, is check the fagula for daily events. It’s like having my own personal assistant there to remind me of things that I need to do that I would have defiantly forgot about. I can't tell you how many times I have been mid-way through a day, checked the planner, and have THANKED GOD that I had it, because I totally forgot about a meeting, appointment, or get together.
I get so excited when a new week rolls around and I get to fill it all in. OH! And I LOVEEEEE it when I get things in the mail like "save the date" cards, or birthday party invitations, etc... And I get to fill my planner in MONTHS in advance. I feel that I ALWAYS have something to look forward to.
I will admit though... I get bored of my fagula's appearance sometimes. I take great pride in how it looks, and I constantly exchange and upgrade the cover. What can I say? I like a little variety!

Sometimes...I wander the aisles of staples or target to see if there are any new planners available or if there are any new post-its, highlights or fun pens to add to my collection.
Stationary, organization, post-its, planners, highlights, folders....I love you. <3
