two useful items

June 5, celebrated two years with my wonderful husband and discovered two useful items during/after the celebratory Asheville trip. Would post pictures, but, camera got left in hotel room :(

1. Hem. Useful thing number one. After 45 minutes of watching/listening, I wanted to stay up all night writing. Bought the cd. Bought the shirt. (We actually went to Asheville hear another group of musicians--Christians who shall remain anonymous, as their performance was, in the words of a friend, "vampy and disgusting" and caused us to lose faith in the music we had loved for so long. BUT. Thankfully, this out-of-nowhere band Hem opened, and we were transported.)

2. The Hipster PDA for organizing my post-Hem writings and crazy schedules (I am almost tempted to ditch my Daytimer . . . almost). I've always been a big fan of 3x5 cards--when I don't use them, I find myself tearing pages out of my journals, recopying sections so that I can keep novels, poetry, picture books in separate, shuffle-able stacks. IF you are a writer, an organizer, a scheduler, a book lover, or a to-do-list-er, click on the DIY Hipster PDA Edition, and drool over the free printable 3x5 templates. (The story development/writing/reading cards are about halfway through the stack.) Ben and I stayed up for 2 hours after we got back printing these crazy things :)
