I'm pretty proud of myself. I've been focusing on personal finance and learning more about taking control of my money. In the process of doing that, somehow I've developed a few frugal habits that are actually a lot of fun. I'm writing this post to remind myself why these are fun more than to update my friends on my life, but maybe these will ( Read more... )

I'm wearing my glasses today. And I remember why I don't like them. But Robert thinks I'm sexy in them, so there is a bright spot ( Read more... )

I hear the interstate was closed southbound for a while last night. It was kind of slick, but we made it to the CC game and back with no issues ( Read more... )

The Avs lost. To Detroit. Bad avs ( Read more... )

Well, if you're reading this, we've all made it to 2008. Congratulations. I don't have anything particularly important or witty to say, but wish all of you the best in this (slightly longer) year. Remember, Christmas is only 358 days away!

It all depends on what kind of snow it is and the way in which it falls. The storm over the weekend was pleasant but a little overzealous, while today's storm is blustery and rude ( Read more... )
