I’ve been trying to play with how to keep a

Things that I want to buy List

In a way that is

+relevant
+easy to access
+reminds me what I’m saving up for
+easy to insert notes / research / prices / etc
+that I actually remember to use

I’ve sort of got a hybrid of lists on Dropbox, in my beloved notebook (which you would think that it would, since I carry it around everywhere). But I find that most of the things just get outdated, or I don’t really look at it and I tend to fulfill my short term wishlistings or my very long term wishlistings and anything that’s more neboulously stuck in the middle, gets pushed aside until it gets shoved on a credit card.

To ponder…

When I was working on getting out of debt, I had a spreadsheet on the computer that I would color in a square when I would pay off X amount of debt. I toyed with having a similar concept for the house savings and came up with the concept of building a house of Legos, where each 1×1 brick represents 50$ of savings.

Apparently Legos that are not scratch and sniff, lighted, blinking and flashing, or Harry Potter sets are a lot harder to find than I thought that they would be, and more pricey. The Lego set and the small lime green brick were a greatly appreciated gift from my lovely Toronto aunts.

Here’s where the downpayment stands as of mid July 2011.

It’s been a long time that I’ve been away from 43Things and I’m trying to get back into the groove of writing and sharing my goals with the awesome community here at 43T.

So *waves hello! Let’s start this up again!

I suppose I should catch up with the coles notes of where I’m at in my life now, the rest of the story, will probably come out in other goals.

-I got promoted to Assistant Manager of the customer support department of the little company that I started working at 4.5 years ago. At some point, I’ll go and dig out the archive article that discussed how hard the merger to a larger company was for me

-I learned that the person that I want to spend the rest of my life with was the last person that I thought that he would be and that, well that I could be okay with giving up the part of identity that demanded that life be hard and that I be a strong, independent woman.

And so we started discussing the possibly of our buying a home of our own together. Although this goal has been on my own personal list for quite a long time, it’s starting to pick up some more momentum with a partner to work on it with.
