Post-it withdrawals & Memory lapses...

Hiiii!

T.G.I.Thursday! I know, I know... It doesn't have quite the same ring as it would if it were Friday. It's okay, though. Thursday is normally good because you get through it saying "Tomorrow is Friday!" During the summer, I take pride in trying to forget what day of the week it is. With a schedule such as mine, it doesn't usually work, especially as volleyball starts. I'm always counting down the days until I have break!

My Post-it for tonight was actually from last Sunday. It's been a busy last few days, so I haven't has much time to get it up.

Anyhoo, this lovely note (Simple as it may be!), was put in the bathroom at church. Correction: After church. I would never, ever leave church to put up a Post-it. ;-) That may or may not be true, however, I actually did wait until after service to do my deed. You can call me St. Meagan. Bahaha! Not really, though.
Alright, well you have my apologies when it comes to this short, uneventful post. I can hardly remember any cool/interesting stories from this last Post-it... And I'm drained! Hopefully I'll get a few new ones up soon...

It's actually funny - I'll go through Post-it withdrawals! I'll really, really miss putting up notes and want to do it right that second, but it's always then that I find myself sitting in my own bedroom or laying down at night. Not so convenient, huh? Soon, though, my friends! Soon.

Okay. I'm off to rest my eye-lids... Alright, let's be honest - I'll probably start paging through my Oprah magazine. But then going to bed. Pronto.

G'night!

Back in Action!

Hello, hello!

It's been awhile, eh?

My week at camp was awesome--full of lots of laughter, games, and learning. What more could a girl even ask for? ;-)

To be honest, I got zero Post-its out over the week. I swear, when I'm at camp, my worries do not fluctuate much past "What time is it?" and "Where am I suppose to be now?" It seems like just when I start to get the sched. down, it's time to go home. In any case, it was a very nice time and it felt good to check-out of town for a week.

However, while I was slacking in my note posting, my rock star friend, Brittany, was not! She left this cute little note... Well... I don't know where. But somewhere! Super cute. And... As if her Post-it wasn't enough, I always spend an extra 8 seconds admiring her pink camera. So lovely!Today, I had an appointment for my back at a specialist and decided to leave a note there! I'm pretty sure the clinic I went to isn't open for any general check-ups or anything, and is specifically for the minority of people who seem to be able to mess up their body. I've come to a conclusion that, for the most part, all the other patients I see there are about 5 times my age. Good thing I am totally smitten for cute old folks! (Not in a creepy way... Obviously!) ;-)

Anyway, I was feeling a little defeated with my physical well-being, so I thought I'd make my note appeal to those who are in the same state of mind. After leaving it, I realized I sort of put a bash on physical health (Which I do think is HUGE and a big part of being all-around healthy...) But I also believe you could be the most buff, athletic, marathon-running, physically competitive person in the world, and still be completely lost without good emotional/mental health. I suppose everything goes hand-in-hand... But today, mental/emotional health was a top priority! Besides, you can always have your say in controlling that, whereas your body occasionally decides to do whatever it wants.

Okay, well I'm off to bed! Maybe. I always seem to say that and then I get distracted by this or that... Is that bad? Naaah. :-)

G'night!

So many notes, So little time!

Happy Thursday!

So, I have two notes for you... But they were posted on different days - My schedule just didn't allow for blogging!
This first note was put on the wall at the hospital. Lately, more than ever, I pretty much live at the doctor's office! Besides the fact that I'm sure I have every life threatening disease there is... I seem to always been there in physical therapy for some limb or another. I literally know most of the staff on a first name basis... And they all give me a friendly "Hey Meagan!" every time I enter the building. Is that bad?

The second note I just put up yesterday at a local Target. By "local" I actually mean I had to drive 35 minutes to get there... No big deal.

Anyway, I was browsing through the make-up isle and left this little bundle o' love on one of those advertisements above all the beauty products!

My friend talked me into putting my blog web-address on the back of this note for the first time in Post-it Effect history. I've always been a little skeptical when it comes to leaving my web-address because I don't want it to seem like an advertisement or look like I want credit for what I do. However, my friend reminded me that by seeing the blog, other people could become even more encouraged and begin something similar. So... I'll try it a few times!

Okay, well just as an F.Y.I., I'm working at camp for the weekend, the vet Sunday evening, and then shipping off to attend ANOTHER camp bright and early on Monday for the rest of the week. Sooo... Blogging maybe be a bit scarce over the next week or two. However, that doesn't mean note leaving has to be, right?

Have a lovely evening!

No-Name Restaurants

Hiiii there!

Today's post is going to be a quick one... I'm watching some kiddos and should be leaving the house in a few! Should is the key-word... As time-sensitive as I am, I all too often find myself rushing to get where I'm going! But... I always get there on time. ;-)

This lovely note went on the door handle of a bathroom. I went with a few friends out for lunch (I do not remember what it as called. Some small, family-owned Italian place.) and decided to leave a note. I actually pre-made this sticky in the car. I was excited to give it a home!

Alright, well there you are! Wish I could elaborate on my super life (Sarcasm present), but I have some babies to sit on. Bahaha - I'm so funny.

Peace out!

The More, the Merrier!

Good afternoon to you!

The last few days have been a little go, go, go-ish! But that's okay - I also appreciate them when I go through my "boring" phases.

Anyway, yesterday, I spent a little time in the cities with a couple friends. I drove up with my friend, Tim, and met Liz, Keaton, and Laura in their suburban city they live in! It was such a nice break from my small-town life. :-)

I know I've mentioned it before, but Liz and Laura happen to be two of the very few people who know about my Post-it leaving. In addition to those of you who may be reading this, there's only about 4 (including them) who know about my sneaky endeavor!

Laura (Being the super girl she is!) gave me a whole stack of new Post-its. Her dad works for the company and had some easy hook-ups. Ha. I was in HEAVEN! I have quite the collection and I do plan on using them all. ;-)

After having a lovely supper at Liz's house, we headed out to get some ice cream. Liz, Laura, and I talked about leaving a few notes before leaving the house... And were beyond excited when the opportunity arose! Let me just tell you that it's WAY harder to leave anonymous notes in a big city... Because people are everywhere! It was quite the excitement.

The two green notes are ones that Liz wrote - she's a natural! And the blue one is mine. :-) (Aren't those lovely colors? The neon yellow I've had for awhile... And the blue came from Laura!)



As you can see, we littered the Dairy Queen bathroom with Post-its! I love Post-it litter...

Well, I'm off to work at camp for the weekend! Liz will be working, too... Expect a Post-it follow-up from us!

Have a lovely weekend!

Mark it Down

Hi!

Say what? Two days in a row!? Has someone hacked my blog account?

No, silly! It's just regular, old me who so happened to have another "Post-it" opportunity, in which I was prepared to leave a note.

I needed to make a run to Wal-mart (Between you and me, I cannot stand Wal-mart. I will avoid it at all costs, however, I needed a new car battery and Wal-mart happened to have the cheapest one in the area. Side note: Some might also refer to me as a cheapskate. I probably am... Who knows if a battery is the right thing to bargain hunt for. But oh well!)

Anyyyway, while at Wal-mart I decided to leave a note, in hopes it would not only land in the lap of someone who needed it, but also to relieve all my bad Wal-Mart vibes that seemed to be circling my head. I stuck this lovely sticky note on the bathroom mirror...

On another note (Baha! No pun-intended), I received a very exciting email from my friend, Brittany, today! She, being the wonderful, thoughtful woman she is, left two Post-its over a little outing she took! Notice her use of the star sticky note... Not to mention the sand "Post-it" that may just go down in Post-it Effect history as the cutest thing I've ever seen.


Yep. She's a little on the awesome side.

Oh! And since she happened to leave the web-address on one of her notes, I have exciting Operation Beautiful news! (In case you weren't aware, Operation Beautiful was pretty much the inspiration for my little blog. I think I mention it a little bit in my first blog-post.) Operation Beautiful is going to be aired on The Today Show on August 5th at 10:00 AM. How exciting is that!? I'll be out of town that week... But you know I'll scout out a TV when the hour rolls around. Fun stuff.

Alright, well so far my day has been semi-productive...

Physical therapy: check
Replace car battery: check
Attempt to catch a few rays of sun: check (Or is that a not-check because it didn't really work... Hmmm.)

I think now I'll continue my venture in clearing out my room. And maybe do something fun and go get ice cream or something later. My life has been sort of "blah" lately.

Have a wonderful afternoon!

So, here's my story from A to Z...

(The Spicegirls will never, ever get old.)

Why, hello!

Yes, I'm still alive. Still kickin' (And no, not the bucket.)

I've come to the miraculous conclusion that my summers are much more busy than the school year. How that pans out, I'm not really sure. But it's obvious by my lack of blogging, posting, and general sched.

What have I been doing with all this time in which I seem to forget that I leave encouraging notes for other people? Glad you asked.

For the most part, I've been playing sports - exception on the "playing" because my back it still on the fritz - attending would be a better word. I work at camp for the rest of the month every weekend, not to mention working at the vet and that I've picked up multiple days for other people. It's all good though - I have a car to fix!

As far as being productive around my house, I pretty much rearranged my room. It's starting to look like it belongs to the "today-ME" instead of the 11-year-old Meagan it was looking like. I implemented some new book shelves, framed a few recent pictures, and generally reorganized. A little known fact about Meagan Doll: She is an extreme pack-rat. Like THE worst. I'm good about letting go of little gadgets and things like that... However, I still have notebooks/projects from middle school. I save almost all the cards people give me year-round and, up until my big clean-out, every wrist-band/ticket I've ever received. Think there's any A/A type of groups with people with mild sentimental-parting disorders? I need help!

Okay, I bet by now you're wondering if this is just a post to suck-up for my lack of posting and if I even have a picture at this moment...

Well, you're in luck!

I placed this lovely note on the (obvious) soap dispenser this weekend at the camp I work at. After all the kids had gone home on Sunday, I had a little bit of down-time before our final staff meeting and decided to leave a note. Fortunately for you, I was able to snap the picture, but couldn't take multiple shots because my camera died right after. I should probably charge the little fella...

Yes, I'm going through a slight phase where I like to go all-out when it comes to decorating a word or two on my notes. Kind of fun!

Alrighty, well hopefully you understand where my lack of leaving notes is coming from. And you know... If you feel as though there should be more Post-its circling the globe... You could ALWAYS leave one of your own. And if you do, I want a picture of it, you hear? :-)

Until my next note!
