Hark hark hark.
Yeah. They came home today while I was at book group. I went over to turn in the key. Kathy was very very nice. She gave me a wad of cash in an envelope. I gave Benjamin a 10.
I was like "Hey Dad, could I put this on my lap top account?"
And dad said something like, "Um, would that not perhaps require that such an account exists?"
Only not quite like that. He said it in a funny way that signified that he indeed knew he had been held responsible for the creation of this account. It was silly.
Anyways, I was like "Daaaaaaaaaad!"
So yeah. $160 down. In two days it will be $230. And guess what? Kathy asked if I might be free over Thanksgiving. And I am! That might really speed up my savings! Especially if they're gone the whole week... Saturday to Sunday? That's eight days... $160! Depending on how much Benjamin tags along. Thing is, now he anticipates $5 as his rate, because I boosted the price up to 10 to soften the blow of small earnings.
But I really had planned to give him $4... :(
How much I end up paying him doesn't really matter, because all that cash will be an unexpected bonus anyways.
Yay.

P.S. I'm so glad you posted the list of albums in order! It makes me feel SO much calmer when it comes to wanting to buy. I don't feel rushed and panicked. I'll just amble down the list...
Should I make a whole extra Wishlist tab? It'd be basically the stuff on the side right now, but I could go more into detail of the purchases and stuff? Color coding? Numbers? More manageable lists? It might be worth it...
