Yesterday I blogged about how scary credit cards can be, and how they can easily get you into trouble.  When you are ready to get a credit card (or need another one), which do you choose?  Mint Credit Cards offer low rate apr credit cards with a very attractive introductory offer.  Mint Credit Cards has recently lowered their usual APR rate, which ( Read more... )

I think one of the most difficult things to learn when you step out into the real world is saving and spending money.  Budgeting, for me at least, has been a difficult lesson to learn.  I started out with one credit card, and at first, I was really good about paying it off in full each month.  I didn't spend like crazy or feel like I had "free ( Read more... )

I finished The DaVinci Code yesterday.  I cannot wait to start reading more of his books.  I couldn't believe the complexity (and the simplicity) of the Priory of Sion and the story that Dan Brown told.  It didn't make me question my religion, but it certainly made me wonder about a few things (especially because I'm Catholic).

I am now reading ( Read more... )

This summer, my parents will be going to Canada with some family friends.  They have spent quite a bit of time trying to find cheap hotels that meet their standards while having an affordable price.  Luckily for them, HotelReservations.com makes the search much easier!  HotelReservations.com does not just cater to hotel guests.  Vacation rentals, ( Read more... )

That fever and mysterious illness I had on Thursday?  Yeah, it definitely turned into a full blown cold.  I was fine all weekend - then on Sunday, while we were driving back to Gainesville, I got REALLY bad.  I barely slept Sunday night and spent yesterday on the couch the entire day.  I haven't had an appetite at all, but have been forcing myself ( Read more... )

In most cases, however, you don't see the money that the company promises you. You may see a portion of it, sure - but most of it (unfortunately) is kept by the company to go towards overhead costs. Websites that "pay ( Read more... )

I now have a second favorite author - Dan Brown.  I am a little more than halfway through The DaVinci Code and I cannot put it down.  I started it on Sunday afternoon and since then, I have not done what needs to get done around here because this damn book is consuming me!  I am definitely going to be reading his other books ( Read more... )

I have been so tired lately.  I cannot get a good night's sleep for the life of me.  If it isn't Bo keeping me up (he snores worse than my father, which is saying something), it's me simply not being able to fall asleep (ex. last night).  Tonight I am definitely taking a sleeping pill and I might even ask Tom to sleep at his apartment with Bo.  I ( Read more... )

I hate when people can hear me fart/pee/poop.  Like, I cannot stand public bathrooms because I think it's weird that people know I'm going to the bathroom - even if I don't know them.

Is this weird?  I don't know what made me think of this, but yeah...
