The cost of living in the dark ages
| Hi, folks. Frankly, I'm just too depressed to put a lot of thought into blog posts for the time being. We were hit pretty hard by last weekend's ice storm, and our home has no power and no heat. Between having to buy an emergency supply of flashlights, batteries and canned goods and having the groceries I bought last Friday become inedible, this is turning out to be a pretty expensive blackout. If I even have any readers left at this point, I just wanted to post a note that we're okay. Cold and cranky, but okay. I'm spending most of my blogging energy right now over at my writing blog, so stop in there if you care to keep tabs on me until I get this blog going properly again. Labels: personal |

Why I still suck.
| Okay, so NaNoFiMo is taking up more time than I counted on, especially since I'm pretty determined to finish drafting this novel this year. Next week, though, I'm going to try to at least do bi-weekly postings here. Today is payday and it's been quite a while since I've done a payday report. I also want to write about my attempts at a frugal Christmas. But for now, I'm pretty firmly entrenched in fantasy-land. If you're curious, you can check out excerpts of what I'm working on here. |

It's like losing weight: the slower you do it, the more likely it is to stick.
| Congrats to JD over at Get Rich Slowly, who yesterday achieved that state which we all covet and crave: he paid off all of his consumer debt. Way to go, JD!!! Labels: debt reduction, finance+blogs |
