Motha! I went over to your casa last weekend and I was reading your planner and I was cracking up! We are SO the same. Not sure if that's a good thing or not! ;) Except you can actually pull off using an actual paper planner and I can't because I'm not 56 years old ;) I was laughing so hard at your cleaning schedule because I do the same thing in mine! Only I don't stick to mine and I'm sure you did! I MISS YOU!

Donna was a good Friend. She will be missed. She always had a smile on her face and was very positive during her battle with Cancer. I am thankful I was able to visit with her in February. She is now an Angel watching over all of us. Prayers to the Schlink Family.
