WORKING TOWARD CONNECTING WORKING ON ME

[Ambivalent]

Well I was going to hold out until tomorrow to contact H. But the fuel for the heat has been depleted. So since I'm freezing I figured I'd combine it with a budgeting opportunity as well.

Drafted this:

Howdy,


I would like to discuss a Christmas budget, for the girls and everyone else. I have some catalogs for baskets and thought it would be an idea to go through them together to choose. Another possibility, we can choose a basket idea from a catalog, and I can put it together by using T.J. Maxx and Costco. We may save some funds this way. By doing this a bit earlier, I believe we can save on postage too ! Since our niece and nephew are still kids, we should consider individual gifts for them. I know Emily was always good about that with our girls.

Perhaps you have some ideas as well?

Also, the fuel for the heat has been depleted. I have kept the settings that you originally set . The last three days I've been using the electric heaters.


Please consider a couple of options as to when it is a good time to do the budget and gift ideas.


Thanks!


This is a huge 180 for me. First I always did this by myself. Second, never a budget.
Third, asking him for ideas and input , while doing it together , never happened or even occurred to me.

So is this one 180 or three 180's ?
