Day 139: Great Underwear Search of ‘08 (update 2)
After dropping The Son off for his Friday classes, I made the trek northward for my appointment with the auto body shop. I had, literally, a fender bender in December after a very icy snow storm. Apparently the entire metro area was involved in one accident or another because today was the first day they [...]
Great Underwear Search of ‘08 - Update 1
Well folks, back to the old drawing board. Surely you didn’t think it would be that easy?
I put the Alfani briefs into the wash last night (don’t worry, I had a full load of whites to run). This morning I got the report: the waistband fit fine but the actual briefs were loose.
You know, I [...]
Day 138: Undies and Outers, Speech and Baseball
The Son announced the other day that he needed new underwear. Well, knock me down with a feather. This is a kid who will do just about anything to avoid having to be involved, even remotely, with new clothing and/or shopping of any kind.
His acknowledgement of needing new underwear was the surprise; the need, however, [...]
Day 137: Gas, Burgers, Co-Pays, & 3M Highlighters
Today was a very long day. My pain level was running awfully high today but luckily my errands and responsibilities kept me out of stores and helped avoid any unfortunate SWI (Shopping While Impaired) mistakes.
After running my first errand (volunteering my time, no expenses), I stopped to fill up The Tank’s tank. I was home [...]
Kids & Money: Putting Baby on a Budget?
There are many schools of thought when it comes to teaching children about finances. It seems to me that a very large percent of PF bloggers and mainstream parents ascribe to a “the sooner the better” philosophy. This is no surprise to me since our society at-large tends to take this stance on everything related [...]
Day 136: Third No-Spend Day This Month (so far)
Woo, hoo! My third no-spend day so far this January.
Before starting this blog and logging every single purchase, every single day, I never paid attention to no-spend days. I had no-leave days (days I didn’t leave the house) and, when lucky, no-pain days.
I’m learning to really like no-spend days, however, and think I’ll consciously work toward [...]
A “Pareto” Man + A “Quick Win” Woman = A Perfect Union
A while ago Pinyo at Moolanomy was busy educating his readers about the Pareto Principle and a concept called Quick Wins. I love learning new things, especially when I can relate them in some way to my own life and experiences. When I read about Quick Wins and then backtracked to learn about the Pareto Principle, I [...]
