Not that I'm disorganized, but I'm not a list person. Granted, I wouldn't ever let a huge event slide or anything, but I'm just not a planner. At all. And my husband is worse, lol.</p> <p>For example, vacation planning is just buying a ticket and (maybe) reserving a hotel in advance. I don't plan what sites I want to see, or where I want to eat, or anything like that. I just....go with the flow.</p> <p>It doesn't work for everyone, but it works for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1214108 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 15:36:34 +0000 fussygal 1214108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the middle. I like to leave options open but I'd never let something big slide or go unplanned, especially when other people are involved! In those situations I tend to OVER plan because I'm worried others want structure.</p> <p>Funny since I work in event coordination you'd think I'd be much more type A about planning.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213925 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 14:57:42 +0000 bpcmarj 1213925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like to be a planner, but we never are. It drives me nuts.</p> <p>Like, I told DH I want to sit down and put all our Christmas activites on the calendar now so that we know when we have to do something. He is notorious for springing things on me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213910 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 14:55:29 +0000 MrsStar 1213910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a planner - and a list-maker. Dh tends to go with the flow and asks me what the plans are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213880 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 14:48:01 +0000 GrapeCrush 1213880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! we, especially DH, hates when people don't make plans. his family is notorious for saying "this weekend...we'll figure out details later" sorry, but that doesn't work for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213411 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 12:28:03 +0000 Boogs 1213411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Been trying to plan the holidays with the inlaws and they have no interest in discussing plans yet. Makes my planner personality crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213396 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 12:20:36 +0000 HellOnHeels 1213396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is the farthest thing from a planner. To the point where I asked him to come have lunch with me next week and he won't even commit to that. I like to have a general plan, but don't mind some spontaneity when the time is right for it. </p> <p>This is one of the reasons why DH was hesitant about having kids and still is. I know we'll probably butt heads about this, but DH is already understanding that kids means not flying by the seat of your pants anymore... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213298 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 11:37:31 +0000 lindseykaye 1213298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Seriously? That is rude to the guests attending, rude to the restaurant they wanted to go to and RUDE to the BRIDE! I would have been pissed if I was attending that, and I would have been really hurt if I was the bride and found out that my friends 'planning' the get together didn't care enough to actually, you know, plan it.</p> <p>From that response, you can probably guess I'm a planner :) Lists of lists, plans made well-ahead of time. And you know what? I'm always more calm, and usually things turn out as I imagined. DH is more laid back but allows me to take the reigns and has seen that it works out for the better :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213266 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 11:20:40 +0000 fancyfunction 1213266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Big time planner and list-maker. I need to plan out and write things down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213116 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 10:33:31 +0000 Alivoo01 1213116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm totally a planner/Type A kind of person. Hubby is totally just wing it kind of person. Ugh!! Not cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213107 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 10:31:14 +0000 autumnlove 1213107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a planner! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213105 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 10:31:12 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1213105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I love to plan. I have things planned out months in advance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213101 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 10:30:09 +0000 CakeLady 1213101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It is even part of my job description. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213086 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 10:26:01 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1213086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am the planner. My husband not so much. He doesn't even tell his family when he comes to town. Yet, laments people don't have time to see him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213040 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 10:14:15 +0000 artsyfartsy 1213040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: That is my pet peeeeeeve. I spend most of my work days booking parties and groups for facilities and it's surprising how many people call a week or even a day ahead for a shower and try and get in.<br /> "What? It's booked?"<br /> "Yes, it has been for a solid 4 months now." </p> <p>I booked a facility for my baby shower the day I found out I was pregnant. Everyone laughed at me but now I'm way ahead of schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213027 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 10:11:28 +0000 Smurfette 1213027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I want to know by Monday what the plan is for the weekend. Verses DH waits till Friday to be like what should we do? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213025 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 10:11:05 +0000 regberadaisy 1213025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: oh. my. god. That's insane. No one even thought to call the restaurant??? I feel bad for the bride to be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213023 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 10:10:52 +0000 pui 1213023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That kind of stuff annoys me so much! I am definitely a planner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213018 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 10:09:47 +0000 mediagirl 1213018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: YES. It drives me bonkers when people don't plan properly. I went to a bachelorette party a couple months ago. The hosts sent out an evite a week and a half before the day of the party. It was going to be held at a restaurant where they "said" they had reservations. The restaurant has been closed for 8 months. Two nights before the party, they emailed everyone and changed the restaurant. Then, the day of, they changed it again! We got there at the appointed time (7pm) and were told that no one made a reservation and we would have to wait until 9 to get a table for our big group.</p> <p>OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. My head exploded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213014 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 10:08:31 +0000 artsyfartsy 1213014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are both super planners. You should see our itinerary when we go to disney world. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213006 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 10:05:20 +0000 LovelyPlum 1213006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Even when I do try to plan, it never works out very well. DH is, though, and it makes him nuts ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1213003 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 10:04:57 +0000 mrsjyw 1213003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep def a planner. Project Management is an essential part of my job and my a-type ocd personality :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1212991 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 10:00:59 +0000 looch 1212991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we are a family of planners, we are project managers! My husband will do a full on plan for our vacations and I do excel spreadsheet packing lists. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1212985 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 09:59:27 +0000 T-Mom 1212985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I'm a planner. But DH is not. Neither is his family, except for one of his brothers. It's funny to try and see his brother plan detailed itineraries for us and then have half of them get changed due to somone being late or something else happening spontaneously. It also results in lots of high priced air travel for us due to last minute plans from the in-laws! I'm learning to let go, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1212979 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 09:58:20 +0000 Mae 1212979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, YES I totally am. I always want to know what is going on a week in advance. I have some friends who refuse to make plans ahead of time or the finalize details of plans (like we were invited to a game night on Friday, but they have not yet decided what time it will be or if we should eat dinner beforehand). It annoys me. I do my grocery shopping on Sunday so I sorted would have liked to know by then if I needed to buy stuff for dinner Fri! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1212978 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 09:57:33 +0000 LuLu Mom 1212978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a super planner, DH not so much. I like organization he likes go with the flow. Nothing drives me more bonkers than those who dont' have a concrete plan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-planner#post-1212974 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 09:56:10 +0000 regberadaisy 1212974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both DH &amp; I are planners while neither in our families are and it drives us bonkers sometime!</p> <p>Anyway, we were invited last minute to a birthday party this Saturday at 5 or 6pm. They don't know yet?!</p> <p>Turns out they have no reservations but they've invited all these people. On a Saturday night. To a popular restaurant. Um. Yeah. Good luck with that. I better pack some food for LO! </p>
