I’m not doing a regular Sunday evening post this week, mostly because I am too exhausted. We took a long awaited trip to the full sized Stonehenge replica in central, southern Washington this weekend. It also happens to be a WWI memorial. The trip involved 4 people and 2 dogs, …
While you are reading this, we will be road tripping to the full size concrete Stonehenge replica/WWI memorial in Maryhill, WA. In addition, we will be heading to the Goldendale Observatory (one of the largest public telescopes in the country) to star gaze tomorrow night. Basically, I will not have …
I know this is a personal finance blog, but tonight we’re going to hit on the “personal” much more than usual. In fact, here’s the whole financial connection – kids cost money. I have been a parent for a whole 23 days now. It’s not a lot of time, and …
Earlier today, I was positive I was going to get this post written and scheduled to post “on time”. We can see how well that turned out. Because I had time. Well, I thought I had time, but then I needed to apply for some jobs, and the rain stopped …

Maybe a month or so ago, I mentioned in passing that C and I got the CostCo American Express card. We had gotten by without one for over 10 years, so it wasn’t necessarily a need, but I knew I wanted to purchase the laptop and that we would be …

Shocker #1 – This post is going up ON TIME. Shocker #2 – The reason my posts have been late for the last week (and why my life is suddenly very crazy) is that there is now a small person living in my house. I cannot tell you much about …
