Okay, guys, I have found just what I want. The perfect binder. It has everything. (Almost.) It is by Mulberry of London. I have several of their bags that I have collected over the years. They used to cost around $600 and now they can clock in easily at close to $2000, if not more. I have this amazing source where I can get them on sale—this dude emails me what they have that just has gone on sale—and then will ship them to me for about $10. But that is neither here nor there for this blog. What is HERE, is the new Mulberry binder I found this week on the Mulberry site. (My dude does not carry the binders and anyway if he did, they would never go on sale..) It is in shiny goat leather and the one I am jonesing over is FUSCIA.

Oh god, oh god, oh god! The Mulberry peeps want $600 for it, and I would actually happily pay them that, but I am getting a good grip on my life these days via my Compact (vinyl!!!! How lame can you get?) Franklin planner. In it I have daily, monthly, and even weekly sheets, and I use them all. Those of you who follow my blog (that would be about one person, Claudia), know that I have ADHD, which was diagnosed only 2 years ago, and that I am still in the process of acquiring the skills I need to offset my brain weaknesses and bomb on in life towards all the massive and amazing goals I have set for myself. So Franklin planner along with the skills I am learning from my ADD shrink and also these guys at Harvard who have this workbook/book called Mastering Your Adult ADHD (this is the best and most helpful book I have EVER encountered), I am really making some serious life progress here.
Now if I go out and buy this Mulberry agenda thing in fuscia shiny goat leather (oh my god, my god, I so want!!!!), here is the problem. The pages. Mulberry makes it so no other pages will fit in their binder. And their pages are really bare bones---a fold-out year view, and then a week view where you just write in anything anyway. Ha! Like that would work for me..not. Not saying their paper isn’t gorgeous, because it is---utterly gorgeous. But you pretty much just have a piece of paper with some lines on it.
I am wondering a couple of things---if I can go to some printer and get them to do whatever paper or inserts I want that would fit? Or cut down my Franklin pages to fit? (The width is okay, but the length is ¾” too long.) (But problem number 2: I don’t even know if the rings are the same..) Or should I write Franklin and partner up with them to frigging make some binders that someone who goes around with $2000 Mulberry handbags on her arm would actually want to use?
