You'll all think I'm a bit weird, but you know how some people like alliteration? I liked the numeric alliteration of writing all of October's dates as 10/1/10, 10/3/10, etc. Today's 11/1/10 did really seem right. Weird. I know.
Productive day thus far and it is only 10:00. Went to Mass. Had one child ringing in the hand bell choir, another was a gift bearer, and I saw all the remaining ones. I like to sing "When the Saints go Marching In" - it's peppy and happy and hopeful. The one deficit I feel that the Catholic Mass has is the music. Don't get me wrong, I love Gregorian chants and monastic music, but I find the basic Ordinary Time music lacking. Anyhow, that wasn't the case today.
I finished my cover letter for the application/transcripts that DH is faxing to the Dept. Head at NIU so I can start classes in January. Kind of exciting. Kind of scary. Good, all the same.
I finished tallying up the final Boy Scout Wreath sale orders. 3rd Grade Bear Scout did better than last year and better than the year before, so the recession hasn't affected the spending habits of those in my area who are willing to part with money for wreaths. Probably because most people buy them anyhow, and it curbside delivery of the orders. I cheaped out this year and bought an Evergreen Planter $24 that I plan on using as a centerpiece.
Kindergartner is heading to speech today and the 3rd grader needs new school shoes. That's all that is on the agenda remaining.
Hope everyone has a happy November 1st!
Should we start a countdown to Christmas?! Start some sort of challenge on how much we spend/or save? Should we start a post on best frugal ideas? What say you all?

Do you think we should say what our limit of spending is and then track? I'm always in need of a place to organize my ideas and this is it. If I leave a list around the house, I've got too many Nosy Nellies to worry about finding/looking at.
