My A5 Weekly and Daily Inserts!

Soo I got irritated by free printables not being editable and them not fitting my needs..So I got our my handy dandy Pages application on my Mac and decided to make my own. Trust me, it was really hard at first because I didn't know how to format or print it. But eventually I got the hang of it.

Weekly 

Filled out:

I HATE when inserts combine Saturday and Sunday into one little box!!! They are two huge separate 24-hour segments! 

....So I put them in separate ones and added an extra box for goals, quotes, or anything you want! The line next to the day of the week is for the date (which I forgot about).

I really like this setup. I will probably change the colors to orange and purple for October, red and green for December, etc. I'll post updated ones each month if you'd like me too.

Now for my:

Daily

 Filled out:

Ignore that weird blue stripe, I accidentally printed on the wrong side. 

In my school, we have seven different class periods, hence the #1-7. Then there is the handy to-do list and meal tracker. I left a space in the middle for stickers, doodles, pedometer tracking, water tracking, weather, or whatever you need it for! The last blank line part is just for a journal or whatever you want to use it for.

Here are the links to download them!

Weekly pdf

Daily pdf

Keep in mind that these are A5 size! The pdf is a regular page size (8.5x11) so it will print two A5's per Letter page.
Don't ask about printing double sided or other formats because I have absolutely no idea how to, lol!

 Here is a great blog I found helpful if you're new to printing or want to do it more efficiently: Philofaxy.blogspot.com
It is a very helpful blog with like a thousand different posts about everything Filofax!

Have fun with your new inserts! :)

Why I Can't Keep a Journal..

Do you ever get so overwhelmed by something so great that you get too intimidated to try it?
Yeah, that's me.
Or maybe its just my anxiety.
Anyway.
That's how I am with creative things. Journals, scrapbooking, keeping an agenda, etc.
Although I have trained myself to keep a daily planner, I cannot do any of the former activities.
Don't ask me why, its just how my brain works.
Search 'journal' on Pinterest.com and you will find these amazing, exquisite ideas and pages full of creatively-drawn doodles and heart shapes with random words around them.
Here are some examples:

Sorry, the spacing is all messed up and I don't feel like fixing it.

But seriously, ya'll.

They're gorgeous!!

I have a board on Pinterest dedicated to journalling alone, but still I cannot seem to start. I see all these prompts (check out this one) and start to get overwhelmed.

But while writing this, I decided that I will start. I don't know what notebook to start in, but I WILL start. 

For resources, check out my Pinterest account or just search 'journal prompts'. I will be doing mine randomly and may or may not post them on here. I will post them here if I really like them :)

Thanks for reading! I will update you about my progress! :)

Med Head- By James Patterson -- A review

Taken from the Google Book site. All rights to those they belong to..

First off, this is by James Patterson. Which obviously makes it AMAZING!
I've read his Maximum Ride series at least a dozen times.
Donnie has read every single book he's ever written.
Mr. Patterson holds a dear spot in our hearts :)
Anyway,
This amazing book is about a child, Cory, who is diagnosed at an early age with Tourette's syndrome and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
It is written by Cory's dad and James Patterson. But, it is also in Cory's perspective, which is interesting. I bet that was really difficult for James and Hal (Cory's dad) to do, but they did it. Very successfully, I might add. Cory's story is chaotic since Day 1. He tries over 60 different medications (some of which I have been on and unfortunately experimented the same bad side effects), but nothing helps. To be honest, I am only on page 145, which is chapter 40. (Sorry, I also am plagued with OCD and couldn't end on an odd-numbered chapter or odd-numbered page)...
At this point, Cory is in the second semester of his freshmen year of high school. I find his story very inspiring even though I haven't had any of the tic-like symptoms. I have experienced the outbursts and random rage, though. I don't know how they did it, but James and Hal really made this seem like it was written from Cory's perspective. I envy their skills.
Since my boyfriend, Donnie, is very picky with his books (he mostly reads James Patterson and rarely strays from him), I cannot wait for him to get back from his cruise so he can read this too. I am excited for a few reasons. 1. Because Cory has some OCD-like symptoms. It will help Don realize that my condition is 100% real. I don't fake it. I don't know why anyone would ever exaggerate something and say "Oh I'm so OCD". No. OCD is awful. It takes your self control and throws it out the window. I freak out on people at work daily with no other excuse then "sorry, I couldn't help it". Things just need. to. be. my. way..
Anyways
2) Because its a very heartwarming story. That sounds cliche but there are a few times that I've teared up while reading this book. And I rarely cry during books!
Ex:
Pg 47-48
"Our family had recently watched a comedy that made fun of different kinds of people with terrible conditions. One was a woman who kept cursing out loud, and she explained that it was because she had Tourette's syndrome. I remember being so surprised.
"Does Tourette's make people say bad words?" I whispered to my father.
 He looked very angry, but not at me.
"No, this is a bad movie, Cory. They make fun of people who can't help themselves, and they shouldn't."
And that was the way I learned about the cursing tic. It's called Coprolalia. 
I go to sleep wondering why grown-ups would want to make a movie that pokes fun at people who can't help themselves. And I wonder if they still would if there was somebody in their own family like me."

I'll admit. I cried a little.
If you haven't read this book, you need to.
Now, I'm off to finish it!
Another edit soon to come!
