time to go shopping!

seeing as how i think best when blogging, and how it was payday for me today, i want to make up a shopping list of things to buy/pay/do this month.

1. first and foremost: tithe;
2. get the book "Unchristian" (so i can participate in the church study);
3. *maybe* get a trinket from 10,000 Villages (just so i can say i went this year, lol);
4. pay bills;
5. buy groceries and necessities;
6. get a 2009 bus pass (so it comes in before 2009, lol);
7. *hopefully* pitch some cash toward the sound board for all those sunday cds;
8. [insert whatever i'm forgetting]....

... all this with $600, for the next 4 weeks. FUN.


now, to be simply boring, a list of necessaries, with estimated cost:

toothpaste - $7 (Jason Healthy Mouth Tea Tree & Cinnamon - i'm fussy! lol);
4x big packs of TP - $25 (one for each week);
big jug laundry soap - $16 (Nature Clean - having allergies/asthma ain't cheap);
tea tree oil - $7 (for my "shampoo" - which is actually my laundry liquid, diluted, lol);
dishwasher powder -$10? (Seventh Generation);

5x $50 grocery gift cards $250 (one for each week, and one for unexpecteds);


...oh my gosh, for a second i almost fell over cuz i thought, 'gee, i just might actually have enough money for this month!'.... then remembered the chunk going out for bills. aw, gee.....


...... and Christmas shopping? ....what's that? ....is there really such a thing?


....Lord, good thing You are the God of the IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!


haha, one more list: a wishlist. cuz God is the God of the impossible!

good waterproof winter boots that aren't clodhoppers.
a tub of old fashioned vanilla ice cream, made with real cream.
