New Year = Me Remembering Birthdays (?)

I'll admit that I'm not real big into New Year's Resolutions. I usually don't make a list and if I do they are in my head. But, here is one that I decided to start right away since it's a brand new year and I have a fresh new start for it.

Resolution= remembering friends' birthdays by sending them cards

I really used to be fairly good at remembering birthdays and making sure they knew that I was thinking of them on their special day. Lately, however it has been a different story. Life happened after college and apparently so did remembering to send birthday cards. Well, this year I plan on remembering. And what do you know...I ran into this perfect accessory at TJMaxx to help me!
Oh how I love Vera Bradley. I'm sure my love for their bags will come up again in another post. This wonderful "Celebrations!" organizer is made by Vera so not only is it useful...it is also adorable! The inside has a calendar for each month and then a pocket folder on the other side. First, I need to fill out the calendar for everyone's birthday and then if I get real ambitious, I can find and write cards for each person. Then, they can just sit in their folders until it is time to mail them. Dan claims that this organizer will sit on my office shelf all year. However, I'm a stubborn person, so I assure you that I will prove him wrong. ;)

Tomorrow school begins again. We are starting off the year with our Christmas party that got canceled due to that glorious snow day on the last day of the year. What a way to start off the year, huh?
