I was going to get up early and sharpen pencils, but it's still too early.
Book fair is this week, so I'll be at the school all day helping kids write their wish lists, straightening the shelves, and later trying to encourage kids with money burning a hole in their pocket to hold onto it if they aren't going to use it on books because the school supplies are overpriced.

Laurel is home for the week before school starts, which so far means she wants to watch TV (I canceled our cable last billing cycle but it's still on) and complains about the lack of snack food. We'll both be relieved when school starts on Monday ( Read more... ) -

Earlier tonight, I twittered: Dear get-rich-quick people that keep following me: I have a net worth of $104 (not a typo) and I am okay with that. Now go away.That doesn't do justice to where I am right now.

The company Kevin has done a tech phone screening and a phone interview with earlier this week has scheduled an in-person interview for Monday. I am still not getting my hopes up, but it would be nice ( Read more... )
