Its probably pretty obvious from many of my recent postings that I have been thinking a lot about money lately. Then again when faced with far more bills than money, its not hard to think about money and as a Type A worry wart, the money thing is on my mind a lot. So its probably no surprise to hear …
If you are a regular reader then you know that my mother is deceased. She passed away 5 years ago of cancer, seemed like she was recovering but at the last minute fate decided it was not to be and she left this world. Too soon in my opinion. This is a repost from 2009, but it still sums up …
I have written before about my ongoing battle with spending too much time online. Due to the nature of my professional work, its hard to completely not be online since email is a far more efficient means of communicating and heaven forbid the week I stop checking email could be the week I miss an important message. However as my …
In American culture, the idea of anyone filing bankruptcy is seen as a personal failing. People wonder how could you? Why didn’t you try hard enough? Maybe you are just a deadbeat. Never mind the fact that the rich and powerful often file bankruptcy (hello…Donald Trump) even companies use the legal protections afforded under the bankruptcy chapters to restructure themselves …
Those were the words I said to the waitress at our local eatery who happens to be someone I genuinely like, we always keep meaning to get our girls together for a play-date but our schedules rarely mesh. I have a tendency to be pretty chatty with restaurant folks and folks in general, so when I told the waitress she …
It’s Friday which means the end of the week though it looks like our gorgeous weather we have been enjoying up here in my corner of the world is tired of playing and instead it will be gray skies and rain for a little while. No problem since really, 90 degree temps in Maine is pretty unheard of this time …
Just when we thought we had enough on our plates, now we can add swine flu to the mix. Unless you have been actively avoiding the news (which in that case why the hell are you reading me?) you know that the world is on the brink of a pandemic, seems every 5 minutes we are being told of a …
Lately I have had an increase in folks coming to this blog and that’s cool. After all its nice to know someone actually reads what I write and while its nice when folks like what I have to say and agree with me, its not my expectation that all readers will be like me. Look, its cool to disagree with …
Its Friday and its going to be almost 70 degrees today in Maine. So rather than sitting on my computer, I am about to head out and enjoy this delightful spring day. I actually was up early today, I took my first yoga class and I must say it was relaxing. I don’t know if I will get a class pass …

Happy Friday! It’s a gorgeous day up in my corner of the world and way too beautiful to be writing a blog post today. So I present you with the Friday Round-Up a list of blog posts this week from other bloggers that blew my mind. Perhaps if you need to kill some time or have a quiet moment you can check them out. http://ravingblacklunatic.blogspot.com/ Check out this cat, I have been a fan of his work forever. http://www.whataboutourdaughters.com/ Good stuff here as well http://sweetersalt.com/ A Maine blogger who talks fashion and food…the best of both worlds http://paganchild-starmommy.blogspot.com/2011/03/keeping-focused.html A new blog that offers words of wisdom for all of us. http://mscleaver.com/ Another Mainer who for Lent is giving up pants, she is also a crafty gal If you have any links to good blogs, feel free to leave em. It’s my hope to make the Friday Round Up a regular feature at my new home specifically I would live to shine some light and love on smaller bloggers. It’s hard out here in this blogosphere with so many good blogs to choose from and so little time so let’s help everyone get a slice of the pie. I will be back on Monday, at that time I will unveil some ideas I have around monetizing things but You May Also Like: No related posts.
