By the way, speaking of photos, I came across this site called The Photographer's Life...great tips on how to turn your photos into cash. Love the concept....as I'm sure many of you camera-slinging-types like me do, too!
Recently I just finished the Total Money Makeover book by the 'King of No Debt' David Ramsey that my friend, Denise G. loaned to me. What a great book....wish I'd read it like YEARS ago. Better late than never, huh. I'm eager to get the wallet with the cute little handy-dandy envelope system in it....and yes, actually put it to use! Also along the 'Budget' lines, I've been perusing the Money Saving Mom site....a very cool site my frend, Heather, has referred me to on several occasions....but I never took the time to really dive into it. Silly me, once again! She's got so many tips and coupons, and ideas...great for the 'home economist' as she puts it.
What else is not up? We went to go look at the wonderful farmhouse that I was really hoping would work out for us. However, it appears there are going to be some snags with that whole deal. Not sure if we can work through them eventually....or if we need to move onto some other plan. Keep you posted on those developments. Wrestling with the question of do we rent or do we try to buy? Right now we're majorly leaning in the rent direction....for a number of reasons. I guess I'm just looking for a stepping stone at the moment. Something that allows us to re-group and be more flexible at this stage of life. I know the idea of renting is totally un-American, but it sounds rather appealing to me...at least at the moment.
Meanwhile, I did make my own nest in the Twitter tree....finally. Been holding out for how long now? You can take a look at my tweets over in the sidebar...or feel free to join in on the conversation. And guess what...I can't get any photos to load in my profile box there either. What's not up with this stuff??? Hang in there with me....hope to have some new photos loaded soon! xoxo : D
