Every time I think that maybe, just maybe, I’m getting back on track, I realize that there is something I’ve not done. This week, it felt like I was moving right along, until I realized that I’ve barely read or commented on any blogs this week. For that I apologize. But even though I didn’t do my usual level of reading, I really liked what I did read. So yes, it’s a small sample size thisread more…
Today is the day we have to finish cleaning out the MIL’s apartment, and with everything going on lately, I’ll be honest, I haven’t been reading as much as I usually do. So today, since my mind is busy pondering yet another online project (because I need to do one more thing besides this, Life by Pets, 100 Words On, and Fiction in 50), I thought I would share a couple projects that some blogging friendsread more…
As regular readers know, my mother-in-law passed away recently. While C and I are both doing fine, there are a million little things we need to take care of right now.

Instead, I’m stealing an idea from the brilliant Jana at Daily Money $hot and posting a “money tune”. Not only is this song about money, this is a video done by one my absolute favorite local bands, the BOWI Band. The moral of the story is- don’t believe the coal board (or your bosses) when they sayread more…
For those of you who are not already mired in the world of personal finance blogs (ie my friends and family who read this), you may have noticed a new badge over on my sidebar this week. (Okay, so you all would have noticed, but you PF people already know what it’s about.) The badge is the Bloggers Give Back badge, and it is a movement started by my dear friend Jana over at Daily Moneyread more…
2011 has been a great year for me. I started this personal finance blog, my third blog, and it has grown faster than either of the others, thanks mostly to the Yakezie network and the amazing people I’ve met over there. I don’t do blog round ups as often as I feel like I should. I promise to try and get better about that in 2012. But what that means is that there have been someread more…
