My Lists Notebook is Nearly Full

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf May 12, 2009

My lists notebook is nearly full, and I don’t know why I think this is a monumental thing. Could it be because it is the first time I’ve ever filled one without moving on to another? Could be. Could it be because this list notebook contains the various “going’s on’s” that have happened for work, home, and homeschool since September? Could be. Could it be because I can’t wait to pick out another one? Maybe.

I think it’s a mix of all of the above. I love notebooks, as if many of you haven’t already been able to guess. This notebook was a bit different than the others I typically pick out because the pages are a larger landscape, and there are pockets on the covers . . . yet, it’s not one of those rigid “5-Star” type notebooks the usually feature those benefits. (This one has swirlies, polka-dots, flowers, and other girlie things I like. Hehe)

It looks like I’ll be finishing this notebook off by the end of next month. This is such random thing to write about for a blog post, I know. As I mentioned in the summary line of this blog post, though, it’s just how I roll! How to does this relate to the creative, artsy side of me? The fact that I can doodle, or keep things super-duper neat . . . the fact that I can play with all sorts of different types of pens . . . the fact that I can paste in, staple, paper clip, and attach miscellaneous bits of what-not to these pages . . . there are different ways to find creative escape even in the most useful of daily tools.

Do you keep a “list notebook” as way to keep yourself organized?
