dEaR planner,

I know I'm not supposed to dwell on past relationships, but I can't help wondering how you will compare to my last relationship. We (my 2009 planner and I) had a good thing going. Sure, it didn't have the luxury of a leather cover...and yes, I know you were available in 2009. I said I'm sorry OK? It's just that when I venture forth for a new one of you, I don't think of committing in September. That's just weird. I like the whole "let's start in January" thing.

Speaking of commitment. I have issues with that and you guys. I know that we're gonna be in this for a whole year together...well, till July with you. I need to know that we're a good fit... Do you let me put all my crazy lists everywhere? Do you let me see a whole month AND put the nitty gritty in my week?

I have a confession...after buying you, I did go to Target and scope out the competition...

*FLINCH*

I'M SORRY! I just don't know if it's going to work out...I have serious issues when it comes to the organization of my schedule. I'll give it some more time...

But if it ends up that I have to let you go...

It's not you...it's me.
