Thursday, blog love

 
     Here are a few tidbits of inspiration I have read in blogs recently.  These are things that have stuck with me.  I love getting new ideas and thoughts to ponder.  It helps me to stay on course and appreciate what I am doing.  trying to get out of debt is hard.  It takes a long time.  It is like losing weight.  Even when you take it off you have to keep it off.  It is a struggle.


   I love what Dime at a time said about her Husband out chasing money for debt payments.  that is such a great analogy.  I feel like I have been chasing money for years.  I still feel the need to chase money.  I don't really like it.  Now I would not mind chasing money for something I really wanted, but for debt Ugh, what a gloomy idea.

     Then Teri at her Blue house Journal, wrote about her rinse and repeat blog posts.  Well we all do those.  Money saving madness is a lot of the same things week after week.  These are the things I do to save a little money and eventually it adds up to big money.  Yes it is repetitive , and that is how life it in my neck of the woods.  I do the same things and I am always searching for ways to save more.

    Now onto Sluggy's post about me jumping into a wishing well fountain to scoop up change.  Well if she would just be my look out........

     New goals for November will be posted tomorrow, and yes some of them will be about chasing money, and rinse and repeat.


     I really have to sew today as I have taken the last three days off.  I have done about 1/5 of my weekly quota so I will have to put in the work today.  That is okay as I feel like I have had some time to myself and I am not stressed about the sewing.  It is there and it will get done. I have many items ripped and ready to go so that always speeds things up.  I also had many easy sewing things come in this week, like hems and waists.  These are little work little money items, but they add up fast.  I also have had some tricky things like a complete suit overhaul for a little person.  Big job, big money, but stressful. I am always grateful for any work that comes in, some I am just a wee bit more happy about.

     Hubs and I sing in the choir for our church.  Our director has had to play the piano for the last 4 months.  We have no pianist.  Well we have one but she refuses to come.  I dislike singing without direction.  So I took the music and I am learning it.  The hymns are easy, but the sheet music takes work.  I played for choirs all through high school so I know I can do this, it just involves practice. As I love to play and I just do not make the time, I have been setting aside and hour of my day to play choir music and I am loving it.  It is so sad to see that lovely piano of my mothers that rarely gets touched.

     Well I am off to the shop.  What are you going to do today?

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
