I’m Not Reading Anything

I am not feeling well this week, so no What I’m Reading. Honestly, I haven’t even been to any blogs other than to reply to comments on my guest post over at Average Joe’s Money Blog. I’m hoping that I can be mostly a bum today (maybe start packing up Christmas decorations, maybe not) and start to feel better. So in lieu of content, here are pictures of the pups with the only Christmas gifts they got (which were notread more…

Bloggers Unite for Dog Rescue: Consider Fostering

Today, I am participating in Bloggers Unite for Animal Rescue on all three of my blogs.

What I Read: New to Me Edition

One of my goals for 2012 is to be better about sharing what I’ve been reading. While I’d like to promise I’d do this every Saturday, that’s a promise I’m not sure I can keep past C’s first quarter of school (when he will have a Saturday class, so I will be home with nothing to do but post links to other blogs). So I am going to aim for developing the habit during this firstread more…
