I have been absolutely horrible at blogging over the last several months and I am quite sorry for ignoring all of you! Well, almost all of you!
A couple of weeks ago a blogging buddy of mine came all of the way from New Jersey to Arizona to meet with me...ok, not JUST to meet me. Her sister lives here....AND she had work in San Diego...AND a cool scrapping store to check out...not to mention that her sisters favorite sandwich place was a few miles from my home, but we did get to meet up! :o)
Krys was one of my first little blog readers, she gets my newsletters, she won my Let's Talk Organizing give-a-way back in October when I opened my new office, and she is the FIRST blog reader I have met. We had such a wonderful time chit chatting, laughing, getting in a few moments of organizing talk, and just enjoying the company.
Next month, I am meeting up with another one of my blogging friends, Marcia, in Stirling. We are both going over to Scotland for vacation in May so we are going to spend a couple of days tootling around Stirling and enjoying the time together. Of course, I am not sure that I warned her that I am totally laid back and relaxed when I travel to Scotland. She is bringing her list of things to find on our walk and I'm just bringing my camera. :o) Of course, Dion and I may drag her into a few churches and abbey's along the way.
The crazy part about me is before I travel I am an organizational freak. I make lists, I schedule when to pack, when to shop, when to get my hair done, I have this huge notebook of maps, train times, things I want to see, plan out every minute of every day. However, as soon as I get there, I shove into the bottom of my suitcase and I don't take it out again. It's CRAZY! I think it's just the action of controlling the trip that makes me feel more comfortable traveling alone.
Of course, today I DID find out the B&B I was staying at in another small town in the Borders cancelled my reservation due to a wedding...NOT HAPPY! So, the southern portion of my trip has been completely erased from my little book and I am now having to figure out Plan B for last 4 days of my trip.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would LOVE to hear them! Plus, I need to find some place else to stay whereever I am going.
Until next post,
Happy Organizing!

I can't wait!!!!
But I wanted to be blogger number 1 :)
Today I was scheduling a meeting and the 3-week date we'd agreed on is 12 May, so I'm like "oh sorry, I'll be in SCOTLAND" - yayyy, I love it!!!!
BTW, I'm very glad you get relaxed on holiday - I am VERRRRRY relaxed on holiday. As long as I know where I'm sleeping, I'm good. Of course, weekends and holidays are probably the only times I am relaxed so that's good, isn't it?
I really can't wait to see you - 11 days today til we fly to London!!!!!!
I was getting nervous about how structured and organised you are - honestly, I'll be very happy if we just sit and TALK for hours!!!!
Oh BTW3, Dion's a bit nervous that you'll be too chatty! I said, "of course, she will" but he'll be fine!
I know!! I am beyond excited about going and can't wait to get on that plane and just relax! ;o) Tell Dion I will only talk his ear off during the waking hours. :) he he he
And to think, Suzanne, I thought I'd be #1 only to my hubby and to my parents!
And Marcia, #2 is a great number to be as well!!
I'm so jealous! I wish I could join you guys! I'm the same way. I organize like crazy before I go, get quite relaxed on vacation - usually - then when I get back it takes me weeks to "reenter" and "reconnect" with my life. It always amazes how quickly I can forget about everything and how hard it is to get back into things!
Have an awesome time!!!
