Typically I like to have everything planned out, at least a couple days in advance. I like to know my schedule so I can make plans and know what to expect. For the most part, I don't see anything wrong with that, I think it is a pretty good way to be, actually. This past weekend started out no different. Saturday after the gym I had everything planned so I could meet up with a friend around 2pm for a walk in the park. Not long before we were to meet the plans changed and were pushed back a couple hours. Instead of worrying how it would change my day and the fact that I missed out on a trip to the farmers market with Woody, I picked up my book and headed outside to read while I waited for her call. The rest of the day was perfect. I had such a great time walking through Central Park, catching up with a good friend and enjoying the great weather. I really can't complain about any part of the weekend. It was pretty great.
Well, until I had trouble falling asleep last night, but that was my own fault. I spent the last half hour or so flipping through travel brochures planning our upcoming vacation in northern Michigan. I love going up there so I'm sure over the next few weeks my mind will drift quite a few times, thinking about all the great things we can do. Or, not do! We'll have a basic plan for the week, but leave room for roaming and getting side tracked. That's one of the best parts about vacations, right? Maybe we should leave a little room during our 'normal' life to be side tracked. Never know what might happen!

I'm definitely a planner! Usually it's a good thing, like you said, but sometimes it get me into trouble because I honestly struggle to go with the flow. When I do manage to do it successfully, though, it's a wonderful thing!
Glad you had a nice weekend! :)
This weekend was a great NYC weekend. The weather was lovely, spring was in the air, and it didn't rain as it was supposed to.
I am fit life in around all the commitments and work type.
I am a planner, married to a go-with-the-flow kind of guy. Somehow it all works out : )
I am a planner have to be or it doesn't get done!!! Your weekend sounded great :)
I'm a planner, but I like to be spontaneous sometimes too :)
Sounds like a truly enjoyable weekend. What counts is what makes you happy and whether you enjoy it, and it looks like you did!
I'm not a planner at all. If i do happen to plan something it is because I am pre-conditioning myself to slot into that experience and that always frustrates me one way or the other, so I just let myself go wherever the flow goes. Even if the pre-conditioning plan happens I tend to see the lighter note of it and end up enjoying it anyway!
Always good to make the most of every experience.
Passing by through SITS.
Have a blessed week.
oooo! great qt. i love, love, love planning. but i know planning can at times get in the way with life. and that ain't good.
i'll say this, and I can't believe i'm saying this because it marks me as 'older'. but i think you're in your 20's ...no kids to contend w/at the moment right? so...enjoy the non planning of that! planning is great, but enjoy this space of no 'responsibility' in your life too;-)
