I then took a screenshot of my order confirmation, via Evernote (which automatically dumps the image into a note) - reviewed notes and other info (that I'd entered at home) on houses we might look at. Also reviewed my math on what we can afford, which I'd calculated and saved into Evernote. - went shopping, and used the shopping list I'd dumped into Evernote and have marked as a "Favorite" on my iPhone - reviewed a couple of Post-its I scribbled out yesterday, with some to-do items. I knew I'd probably lose the notes, so I took a snapshot with my iPhone, in Evernote. - used Dial2Do from the car to send myself a to-do item for this site. Dial2Do has a feature to transcribe a call right into Evernote. - when ordering something online, I had to verify an account number. I called up a bill in Evernote (I scan them as they come in, and they're automatically dumped into Evernote) to get that number. - we're doing a wine tasting thing at the in-laws for Christmas, where we have to bring a couple of bottles. Tonight I'll be looking up a couple bottles that we like. Yea, we beat it to death here, but with good reason. :)

- reviewed notes and other info (that I’d entered at home) on houses we might look at. Also reviewed my math on what we can afford, which I’d calculated and saved into Evernote.
