I just opened my email to find an email from myself.  It was a little bit spooky, because I had entirely forgotten sending this email.  I checked the date:  January 9, 2012.

In a second I recovered, because I send emails to myself all the time using the free version of FollowUpThen.  I just don't always send them for ten months in the future.

This is what I wrote myself:

—————————————————————————————

TO:  bearing

FROM:  bearing

SUBJECT:  Get ready for Advent!

You already have Christmas Cards, and your advent candles are in good shape. You need 

– Jesse Tree ornament plan or some such thing with daily readings
– Advent calendars for the children
– white ball candles for christmas
– new purple and pink ribbons, and red ones too — go buy some premade
ones or some spools

(And while you're at it make a plan for St. Nick's day and your anniversary.)

————————————————————————————–

Yeah.  I was all set to send myself a THANK YOU YOU HAVE NO IDEA email, except that there isn't yet a mechanism for sending those back into the past.

Yeah.  I like FollowUpThen.  This is not a paid advertisement.
