I came to my parents house to borrow the internet and file my taxes, except I can't because my freaking bank screwed up on my ROTH IRA. They made a mistake when they first opened it, opening it as a money market instead of a brokerage account. Then they closed the first and transerred the money into the second, except now, it looks like a ( Read more... )

I was walking into work today, and saw an empty box of munchkins on top of a garbage can. I couldn't help but smile when I saw the box, because of all the memories it brought up. When I was little, on your b-day it was a tradition to bring a big box of munchkins to school and share them with all your classmates, and because we were twins, Mom of ( Read more... )

Jess and I just arrived at Key West after two days of camping in the most beautiful location possible, the beach in Long Key. While I don't enjoy sleeping in a tent, the atmosphere was just so lovely and relaxing. When the stars came out at night they were gorgeous! In fact the only negatives was that it was right next to the highway, which you can ( Read more... )

Jess and I are here in Everglades City! We started out in Florida in St. Augustine, which was very historic and fun, then went to Myakka State Park in Sarasota where we stayed in a cabin built by the CCC in the 1930's and then yesterday we arrived here ( Read more... )

Yesterday Jess and I organized a yard sale at my parents house and it went quite well! We made some money and managed to get rid of a lot of stuff. I brought a tv of mine I bought a couple of years ago before flat screens were affordable, but it didn't sell. :/ Another one of my parents didn't sell either. I'll keep mine, but we're gonna donate the ( Read more... )

Jess and I just got back from camping in Lake George! Maybe she'll post some pic's. The lake was beautiful, the weather was actually quite cool. We managed very well for not having camping in years. We got the tent up, built fire's, cooked over said fires, had a good time. It was nice, sitting and relaxing, smelling the scent of the wood smoke. The ( Read more... )
