momintown

Saturday, January 27, 2007

Hey my Mom is in town! She’s asleep right now and even though I grew up in a hideously cold house, I have turned the thermostat up a few degrees just so it’s maybe not quite so icy here. We had one of the neighbors over, a guy I met through Ola named Chris, and [...]

janauary crazy

Saturday, January 20, 2007

Lake Champlain! And more silly non-resolutions.

Wednesday, January 3, 2007

Wesabe is probably out because you need to upload your bank statements and you can’t add money entries on your own. I don’t have an issue with uploading the statements. The only thing you can do for cash withdrawals is split the money up using tags, so you withdraw $100 and add tags for $20 [...]

Happy New Year – Welcome 2007

Monday, January 1, 2007

My New Year’s Resolution in 1997 was “to keep better track of what the heck was going on in my life 1) so I could remember myself and 2) so I would have something to tell the jillions of people that ask me what’s been going on lately.” That’s when and why I started this [...]
