Thank you to all of you who listened to read about my whining and complaining in yesterday’s mind dump. It was just a bunch of stuff accumulating in mind, and I needed an outlet. So, thanks.
1. You’re all right — I need to take care of this one, first. Taking care of myself should be #1 priority. Will do.
2. We have thought about having a going-away “Open House” of sorts. It’s a good idea to have it at a park — hadn’t thought of that! Thank you Clearly Composed for the idea to take it away from our home.
3. As far as the Etsy-thing goes, don’t worry — I hadn’t planned on starting anything now. It’s just a little conversation that I have going on in my head. If I ever get something set up, I’ll be sure to let you know.
4. Financially-speaking, I think now is the best time to being doing this. Well, right after we get through moving costs that is. Since our ultimate goal is simple living, it’s the perfect time to transition to less. I have to be honest Tony, the thought of a spreadsheet makes me a little ill; but you’re right, it’s a good way to start. And Laura, I really should start gathering each and every receipt — thanks for the prod. This is a different topic, but I’ve been doing some thinking on the topic of kids and allowance and teaching them about saving and interest-earned. No system figured out yet, but I’d love to teach my kids from an early age. You know…Give them a fish or teach them to fish…
5. As far as the way my blog looks, that’s just my own personal peeve. I’m a very visual person, so everytime I log in, I’m slightly irritated. I know, I know…it’s no big deal really. A nice header will really help. In the meantime, I think I’ll just bookmark blogs: I like the font in this one, I like the colors of this one, I like the widget on this one, etc…I’ll just gather ideas for a possible redesign tweaking.
Danica and Denise — thanks for listening (again.) You’re always there for me. : )

you know, I purposely didn’t give you any “advice” on your brain dump because sometimes we just need to brain dump. I know I don’t always want peoples advice - I just want someone to listen.
That’s what friends are for….even when you will be a million miles away instead of just a few
I think what Denise said above is pretty good - I should remember that
”I think what Denise said above is pretty good - I should remember that” ..me too
You’re getting closer to your dream move, how exciting is that? all this stress will feels like a mile away
I am so happy the idea helped!
