Keeping Track

Starting sometime in 2006, I decided to keep track, via spreadsheet, of:
1) Movies we’ve seen (at home or in the theatre)
2) Books I’ve read
3) Live music we’ve seen
The “live music” list grew the fastest, with a number of concerts (most notable- Sheryl Crow, The Pretenders) and a bunch of free coffee house performances at the college (Mat Kearney, Griffin House, etc.). As for books, I read Eat, Love, Pray three times and I’m still not sick of it. Movie-wise, we were recently blown away (no pun intended) by “Babel.”

Starting in 2007, we decided to keep a running spreadsheet to calculate savings via store coupons/deals, rebates, and restaurant coupons. Savings so far total about $120 bucks. Not bad. We’re particularly interested in the year end total. Other people climb mountains for thrills. We run spreadsheets. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

I’ve also started writing weekly (spreadsheet) menus and grocery lists. I’ve tried to go this route before and simply lost interest. But, man, it makes things so much easier when it comes time to grocery shop that I’ll work to keep this system alive. Next week’s menu has already been written.

Intention. Loving it.
