It All Adds Up???

This moving thing is driving me crazy, and it's still over a month out. Today I received a JCPenney sale catalog (even though I've asked them to stop sending them multiple times). I opened it up to look at area rugs. Instead of finding area rugs, I found a leather sleeper sofa and chair. With shipping and taxes, the two would total $1800. My plan was to move my futons to save money.

I still want a new stove, refrigerator and dishwasher, but I think I can purchase the three for $1800. This is easy math. I would need $3600 for the appliances and furniture. I have been contemplating this and my missing tax incentive check for 1 1/2 hours. Since I'm moving, I would really like some new stuff. Besides, I'm too old for a futon couch and chair. Right?

It is possible. I have $2400 in checks I haven't cashed, $2400 in savings. If I pay off my car and keep $300 in savings, that leaves me with $3100. My tax stimulus check (I do get one, right?) would make the total $3700. Plus, they showed my apartment today. If I didn't have to pay August rent...

Now I need to figure out if I think I can do this because I want to do it, or if I think I can do it because I really can!


Go to JCPenney.com and look at the Mitchell Leather Collection. Maybe you received the "Summer Home Sale" catalog with the pillows on the front.

i agree, the futon is way past it's prime.
you should invest in your new surroundings with
something that feels good around you.
you deserve that.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
