THE assistant knows best!


  During tour preparations at THE Freedom house, DJ and I started making a list of everything that we needed to pack up for the tour.  Okay, I started making the list while DJ dictated.  You see I'm a list maker, a planner.  DJ... well, he's more like a... well, he's.... Oh heck, he isn't a planner at all!  Me, I make a packing list two weeks before a trip.  DJ doesn't even think to make a list and packs an hour before departure.  That would stress me out!  So while I was making my lists and checking them twice, I reminded DJ to grab another tub of his texture paste while he was at the salon.   As soon as it came out of my mouth I thought, "you know I will just go grab one to pack in my luggage because I know he will loose the one he has."    DJ replied, "I think the one will be okay, I will just leave it on the bus.  So I shouldn't loose it."   

Now, this would normally just go over my head and I would go buy another anyway because I know that he'll use it and I was pretty sure he'd loose it somehow.   But I didn't.  I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and see how he did.

Well, if you have read his blog, you now know why I am THE assistant.  I know him better than he knows himself.   THE assistant really does know best! 

***I have to give a shout out to my male counterpart JD... our safety net!   I owe you JD!!!  Thank you for saving the day.***

I love it! I need one of you... have you successfully created clones yet? If not, is there a good resource for personal assistants? To be honest, this is the first time I've really encountered this and I LOVE the concept.
