So, I have more recently been learning to live within my means, and using my blog money to purchase the silly things that I want. I finally cashed out my Social Spark account for the last $50, and once it was in my PayPal account I transferred it out to my bank account. So what…
An Entirely Cool Labor Day Blog
*Disclaimer: “Entirely Cool” is based on my opinion only. Author assumes no responsibility for whether or not you give a crap. Friday evening started off my 4-day Labor Day weekend (I took an extra day off, today, to get my furniture and some other stuff done). We went to Huddle House and then over to…
Paying off The Man for FREEDOM
My inheritance funds finally cleared, and my final decision was to pay off debt instead of getting fancy new tech gadgets. It seemed like the smarter thing to do. I dumped a load of money into my Money Market account because it has a 3.20% interest rate, and I paid off Bank of America FOREVER.…
And So It Begins… 12 Days of Fun
So, Monday began the time of year where we work 12 days straight, right on through the weekend, because first student workers come back and we train them, and then the regular students move back to campus for Fall semester. The good thing is, we also earn a lot of comp time. Working 10 a.m.…
The Saddest Facebook News Feed Item… Ever.
This afternoon I logged on to Facebook, and I saw my Mom had made a change to her Facebook Profile. She updated her relationship status. My dad passed away in June, for those of you just tuning in. I’m not making a comment on my Mom or the fact that she changed it. I have…

You may find that your field experience or self-research and training qualify you for a certification already. Or, you may learn something new by studying a “For Dummies” or exam prep guide. Currently, I hold…
Alzheimer’s Hurts More than Alzheimer’s Patients
My great grandpa had Alzheimer’s disease – the most commonly known symptom of which is recent memory loss. A lot of times an Alzheimer’s patient can remember 50 years ago like it was yesterday (and sometimes they think it is yesterday), but yesterday is just a blurry memory. It can be very simple at first,…
Two Days to Pay Day
Man, this month stung pretty hard financially speaking. I had to pay for a $300 appraisal on this house I’m living in. I had to pay rent weekly to Marq & Melissa while waiting to close on the house. I had to pay for a U-Haul and supplies for cleaning / moving out of the…
Find a Better Deal on Web Hosting
While I’m pretty happy with my web host, Dream Host, you may not be happy with where your web site or blog are currently located. Perhaps you’ve seen banner ads and pop-ups and other forms of advertising at your favorite blog that has a deal you find more than tempting? There’s more than a plethora…
Well Piss on Me
Last night, I was laying in bed watching TV, and my two adorable kittens climbed up on the bed like they’ve been known to do. They were purring and getting petted and all that. I picked up each one of them and laid them on their backs and rubbed their bellies. The second one (don’t…
