retirement

i dont know what came over me.

really, i don't

but it just sounded like a good idea.
and you know lately everything's just been so. . . malleable

so, today i started my retirement account.
partly inspired by mr mark's new blog, and partly due to the fact that moving seems to flex all the organizational muscle you have, i did it, and its a permanent thing.

and by permanent i mean like super glue permanent.

literally.

it went something like this:

i took the biggest glass bottle ive ever seen, the kind chicago deli's keep their pickle spears in, i took a screw driver to the top to create a slot, super glue to the lid to help me keep my spending impulses at bay, and a black sharpie to the front, which now reads:

'Tacy's Retirement'

then i dropped into it every spare penny, nickel, and dime that i came across in my unpacking/organizing spree.

all told ive got something to the tune of 4.39 saved, but for one day, thats not bad.

and hell, we've all gotta start somewhere.
