To Buy List

list2

This is the list that's on our fridge of the things we need to buy. Even though it's on the to do side of the list. You'll notice glasses is on the list. We've been on a spending freeze the last few months so the list has grown. We also lost a few things and a few things broke. But in the last month we've started working through the list. Buying the bunk bed and toy bins was huge and has helped to realigned my chakras. My new watch arrives on Thursday. And I used miles to buy an ipod shuffle since I lost the ipod nano that I got as a gift from an old employer. Thankfully my daughter found my husband's ipod in my car today. We had looked there, in the exact spot where she found it, without success. But last week I had the car washed and I suspect a very honest car washer found it and put it in that safe spot.

So now we're down to only a few more items. My husband needs new prescription sunglasses because his are broken and I need new glasses because I feel like I've been wearing the same pair of shoes for three years. He also needs a new bike (unfortunately one that will likely cost more than his car is worth, by a lot). I need a new wallet. We both need new phones. And then we just need the minivan and a new house. And a winning lottery ticket. And a nicer list pad. Done.

Artsyville has more lists for your Tuesday.

  1. at first i thought you crossed off a giraffe on your list! but now i'm thinking it was a carafe that realigned your chakra? a giraffe would eliminate the need for that minivan. think about it.

  2. the beaker on our french press cracked but we put duct tape on it. I finally bought the new one. I don't even think that's how you spell caraffe. Yes, one f. a giraffe would be fun. we'd need a bigger yard. I'll put that on the list.

  3. I thought it said "new phone niche," you know, kind of like a "breakfast nook." I was really impressed that you would have carved out its very own dedicated niche. Then again, I too thought it said giraffe.

  4. I love that you have "new house" on your to buy list. I'm inspired to make a more ambitious grocery list!
