Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: December Doings

It's been rather quiet for the Brick and myself this week. Instead of our usual schedule, we've been doing something completely different. This change was desperately needed -- we've had an incredibly difficult year, and needed to try something new. I'll tell you more in a day or two...I haven't had time to wander on the Internet, as a result, so there are just a few items below. More soon.

     December goes on, with preparations here and there. We've been singing in the church choir, which is quite different from our usual duties on Worship Team. (The Brick normally does piano/voice, with an occasional jaunt into mandolin. I just do keyboard/voice.) Choir music has been completely different from the hymns and carols we normally do this time of year -- so we get to enjoy both. There's nothing like being in the middle of a group while the music flows all around you. 

Retire when you want -- if you take some helpful steps. (Budgets Are Sexy's mom did it.)

How to budget with an irregular income. (From the Simple Dollar)

Going out without going broke. Includes the concept of "pre-gaming." (From Pretend to be Poor)


Have a great week...talk to you soon.
