I am possessed. I don't know what has come over me, except that SHELLI is to blame.

I have been doing things that I do not normally do such as staying up late to prepare meals for the next day. This strange way of thinking ahead, planning, and getting organized, is foreign to me, as I tend to be a more 'fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants' gal. Yet, lately, I feel a strange compulsion to follow the lead of my dear amiga, Shelli, who has been kind in sharing her thoughtful and organized habits with me. I am making lists, using coupons (!) and other sorts of strange behaviors. It's amazing how calming it is to have some things taken care of in advance.

What a novel concept!
