Successes:
1. Ahhh...a new 16-month calendar is ready to start using next week. Homemade means it has everything I want, nothing I don't want, and no money spent. :)
2. Wanted to eat lunch out yesterday while running errands...came oh so close...but then came home and ate leftovers.
3. Called to confirm my work days for next week, and tentatively picked up an extra day the week after as well.
4. Received confirmation that an article and photographs I submitted has been accepted for publication and payment will be forthcoming. Not a fortune, but equal to about one day's take-home at my day job; and was offered another article for the holiday edition. :)
5. Planning a garage sale with Kasey next month. Gathering up stuff to sell...an exercise that really takes away the desire to spend money on more bric-a-brac.
Keep Tryings:
I planned a trip to WalMart specifically to return a pet carrier and get a pet bed. As I was checking out, I was truly irritated to realize I had completely forgotten to bring the pet carrier. Aargh...another trip required!
