Now tagless for your comfort.

Cash, I totally meant to come back and tell you about the Whovian ring tones. But that looks sorted.

You could tell me instead. I am craving Tardis noises.

I was lucky it was surprisingly easy for me with my BlackJack. I already had the Who theme on my PC so it was just a matter of copy and pasting on my mobile while it was synched.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

a million dollars from the lottery - after taxes would mean saying good bye to all debt. and a drastic cut in day to day living expenses. after a nice build up in savings - Matt could move to part time work - and do all the other stuff he want to do . But I think he needs to work either Monday or Friday - so I can still have one day to myself. if it is an actual full million - well that gets much more fun. Because the I get a master bedroom , laundry room and garage that is a fully functioning workshop. Then the kitchen dinning area gets redone ( this includes the new roof with skylights and attic fan ) then I move onto the bathroom and three bedrooms - office , guest bedroom and my craft/tv room - the living room area can be library/music room I have a plan where Matt can have his amps sitting in cupboards - where they can roll out when he wants them and roll neatly away when the living room is not a music studio. I think we have to rewire the house as well. of course I want to set up some money for both of my nephews ...

I think I ran out of money again. and I haven't even traveled or set up my scholarship for the B/ C student. or endowed the twigs ( tiny branches ) of my library with budget money.

A nap may have been kind of a mistake, but then I only got about 6 hours of real sleep (tm) last night, so it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

mac has moved onto video games, so I think I am going to take advantage and actually change those sheets I discussed earlier. Then maybe some cooking.

Yeah, the problem with the million dollars thing is that, after taxes, let's say that you'll have $500,000. That really truly doesn't go that far, but it will definitely open some opportunity doors. I really want to take cooking classes, cake decorating classes, glass blowing classes, oil painting classes, ballet classes, private ballroom lessons, and French classes--in France. I want to swim with dolphins, and see fairy tale castles in Germany. I want to like all the clothes that I own, and have them fit and be flattering. I want to cut down on how much I work, so that I can have more time to actually put my creative writing degree to use. I want to buy shiny appliances and pretty furniture. I want all my debt gone, and considering that I'm 24, I really don't even have that much--about $30,000, and that includes student loans, car loans, and credit cards. I want to own good pots and pans and a pizza stone. And I want to own the place where I live, so that I can do whatever I want with it, and half of all the money I get in a month doesn't go to someone else. I want to feel like I'm planning for my financial future instead of just feeling like I'm barely making ends meet. I want LASIK and laser hair removal--I mean, just think of all the time you'd save after having those done. I want to be able to afford the vet with no problem.

And I want all of that to happen right now. Do heads up pennies grant that kind of wish?

Well, crap. The party I'm going to today, that I thought started at 5 pm? Starts at 2. I guess I won't be bringing a homemade blueberry pie, after all, since I haven't even gotten it assembled yet.

Woops.

oOOOH. I have leftover pie in the fridge downstairs that I was forgetting about. Soon, pie all gone....

Ooo, a million dollars after taxes . . . pay off all debts, buy a house, buy a car, sock a bunch of money into a medical bills fund, then travel. Hubby's been wanting to show me Monterey and Germany, and I want to show him western Pennsylvania.

Dog is my co-pilot.

Thanks! Yep, it's my birthday, the big 3-4.

Just a baby! Happy birthday, Nora. You share a birthday with my little sister.
