Just 23 more days left of this wretched year! I really believe that part of the reason it was so bad was that it was a 4 year.

We got the first two DVDs from that 2-week trial thing we’re doing with Blockbuster. One was a suspense movie we both saw and the first disc of season 2 of Charlie’s Angels. I got stills from it, but I still intend to buy the DVDs outright, if we can ever have that kind of extra money again. I still feel like we’re never going to get ahead!

Tom’s thinking of writing a computer program with an educational twist to it, then seeing if either Microsoft or the government will give him a grant. As clever as his idea is, I don’t think it’ll work for the same reason I don’t think I could ever sell books – because we weren’t meant to have money. We both agree he should at least try, even if you can’t alter fate, because he likes to write programs as much as I like to write books. At least there’s one good thing to never having money and that’s that when we die, it won’t be profitable to whatever state we die in since we won’t have any people to leave what we have to!
