I've been working on the side project of getting my house more organized *cue studio audience laugh*.
In the midst of it all, a great big honkin' pile of receipts has arisen, like a cracken from the sea! In the interest of sanity, I have decided to get them all recorded onto an Excel spreadsheet.... wicked pissah oar-gan-i-zay-shun. What really slaps me across the face is the life story one can tell just with a few receipts.
Dec 2007- Here's that receipt for Target. I bought Paulie's stocking stuffers for our first married Christmas that day.
April 2011- Here's one for the gas station in the middle of I-91, when I was driving home from the James Taylor gig.
Nov 2009- Here's one for Starbucks in Belmont.... my first taste of non-hospital coffee in weeks. A caramel macchiato tastes a hell of a lot sweeter with McLean Hospital in your rear-view mirror.
I'm still sorting and entering data, but now I feel like I've accomplished a few things in the past few hours; even the past few years. And I'm reminded that it can really just be about the journey sometimes.
Here's to many more receipts.......

Good to remember where we were and how we got to where we are. I have so many receipts from my travels that tell the story of the trip better than my journal entries. :)
