Living Pink means saving time and enjoying lots of "free time"


The older I get the more valuable time is to me. I guess everyone feels like that. This is a view I would not tire of and that I hope I see again soon. I love the clock at the Musee d'Orsay!

I have some things I do to save time. I tape all the shows I watch and then speed through them ---no wasting time on commercials--that saves me a lot of time.

I keep everything well organized --no hunting for things, no misplaced items, no buying same item that I already own.

I cook a lot at once. Sometimes enough for entire week and just freeze or reheat as needed.


I am low tech- see that pretty pink date book above? I carry it always I have never lost one, all my appointments are in it works just fine costs me 12.00 never breaks! Keep it simple.


I also shop for gifts for people all year and put them away (in a special spot so I don't forget what I have) label who gets what and I have a list of people and as I find something for their birthday or holiday I make a check next to their name. That saves me standing in line at busy shopping times.
In a psychology class I learned there is a name for the phenomena of time passing so fast when you are interested in something versus when time drags when you are bored or not interested. I have forgotten what that is called but it is almost as if your brain is in "altered state" when you are super engaged. That is the way I like to live in my "free time" so I try and make more of that good time to enjoy all my pinkness and passions and friends

Have a Pink day!

I'm late I'm late ...


I am feeling just like the White Rabbit today- running behind all day and now it is 10:00 p.m. and I'm just sitting down for the first time.


I still have my fun secret to share with you later this week and another wonderful treat-- soon --photos of my favorite shop in all of Atlanta!!


I'm also thinking about Alice in Wonderland because the new Tim Burton movie of it will be out in another two weeks--it should be fun, fun, fun !! I love having a movie to look forward to it helps make the dreary winter days more tolerable.


So please forgive me for running late and I will leave you with a beautiful clock image. I bet you know where it is taken------ Paris. In Musee d'Orsay. At least this clock is hard to ignore everyone should be on time at the museum. Louis XVI, last king of France, loved locks and clocks and most likely would have been a locksmith has he been born into another family!!
And speaking of clocks reminds me of the current Ke$ha hit song Tic Tok a far cry from the type of dance music that was popular in France during poor LouisXVI's time!


Have a PINK day!
