oops

I don't know what I did, but somehow I posted that last blog entry without checking it. I found out you cant go back and edit once you have posted here though. I don't know I f I had something else to say, oh wait, I did. here it is.

Speaking of Christmas, this is what  I was writing when I realised I had somehow posted the last blog. When do you start your christmas shopping? And do you feel obligated to purchase for every living relative, whether you even see them or not? I don't. I only buy, or do things for those I want to. I don't think this is selfish either. It is getting a little ridiculous having to buy something for every niece, nephew, and cousin along with your own children. And when do you start shopping? I used to shop early and often. it was fun for me. But now that my kids are out of state, that fun is sorta gone. Now I can get  away with ordering online and letting them wrap their own gifts. they are given instructions to act surprised when they open the gifts. That is my son in Vancouver. My baby comes home still.

But because he has to watch the weight in his suitcase, I have to watch what I get him. I will probably just get him and his GFgift cards. that wont put too much weigh in the suitcase and they can then just go get what they want. I have no idea about any other gifts.

Ok, that is all of what I wanted to say. Now don't forget you have to read the blog right after this one too, cus it was supposed to be the first part of this.

im starting a new quilt

I was talking to my daughter in law a few weeks back about christmas presents for the grandbabies. I was afraid to gert thema regular toy since everything was from china and being recalled. I decided to get them somenthing else. I will order it online and have it shipped. Then I wont have to worry about lead in their toys. Anyway, she told me she would like a quilt for christmas, in jeweltone colors. I had to think about this, and ask what jeweltone colors were. I didnt have to wonder if I would make her one, just what kind of one would I make.

Well, I opened one of my books and made myself pick a pattern. I really wish i would have looked a little further. This book does not have very good directions. But I bought the fabric and cut it already, so I am commited. I made two blocks of the pattern today, just so I would know  what I was getting into. They turned out very pretty, and Im sure the finished product will be very pretty. I just hope I can get it done by christmas. I will put up a picture when i get the front done.

 

Im almost to the Forbes list!

= 50,396,941 You are the 50,396,941richest person in the world!

You're in the TOP 0.83% richest people in the world!

I checked out the site from Ems page to find out how rich I actually am. I feel a little better about my income now.I didnt add my savings accounts, or 401K. that may have changed the number a little. I wonder if I could possibly ever make the forbes List at this rate? hahahahahaha

It fails to say anything about the outgo though. A lot of people earn this kind of cash, but still cant keep up with living within their means. We learned how to do that many, many years ago. there lies the problem. Living within your means. Have you learned how to do that? It is a difficult lesson to learn, but a very important one.
