Fears

There are a bunch of things I'm not doing because I'm afraid of doing them, or of trying to do them and failing? I decided I would list them here and see if that makes some of them more manageable.

1. write up this list and share it with y'all
   
2. write down all of our expenses (aka make a budget again; we had one we followed closely until technology

FWIW, my favorite technology for tracking expenses and general budgeting is google doc's spreadsheet program. I have a template set up for all my categories, along with how much I expect to spend in each category per month, and it's awesomely easy. It helps, though, that I pay for almost all my expenses with debit cards, which allows me to see all my expenses neatly listed online, and all I have to do is copy-paste from my bank's website.

If it makes it more manageable for you, I will personally come over and help you collect soil to be tested, or package it up and mail it off. If I recall correctly, UMass Amherst charges a flat fee ($45 when we did it) for testing more-than-one sample, so perhaps you and Dana could both send in samples at the same time.

Want to get together with kids, Thursday or Friday? for walking/playgrounds, time in one of our yards, etc?
