Hally-Lou-YEAH!

Just heard from my Property Manager that our house in Ingleside is RENTED!
Whoop!
These past three months have been a large burden, and really put a hold on my zeal for adhering to a debt reduction plan, because we frankly couldn’t afford it and the extra burden of the mortgage for the rental.
But still since the [...]

Life up til now…

Not a bad week last week. I took Tuesday - Friday off, to spend with the Fam, and to help with the timing of going to VBS each night at our church. I taught the 4th grade class, using LifeWay’s Game Day Central curriculum. I had three awesome helpers, and a class [...]

Flying Pink Unicorns - budgeting and envelopes oh my!

First, to help set the stage for why I think doing this Financial Peace thing, read this day-by-day strip, g’head, I’ll wait.
back?  good.
I don’t want to know how much of our money each month goes to interest.  Not just mortgage interest, but credit card interest.  My lord, I think we could probably fund all of [...]

Time she keeps on marching…

As my children grow older, we are starting to see some of the fruits of whatever parenting wisdom we’ve somehow induced into our children.  This past weekend had a few moments where I felt awful proud of my kids and how they have grown and molded.  The four year old still has some rough patches [...]

Welcome little Baby Speaks

Via Thinklinks.  Jen (of Jen Speaks) had her baby boy Jesse Speaks.  Mom and Dad are doing good too.  Congratulations.

Okay you want an update… just remember you ASKED for it.

Like I have time for you little blog readers, but whatever.
Okay first week in December I tried to kill myself… well not literally, just figuratively.  Big project at work that must be done by Friday.  No problem, really, just lots of hours actually doing work.  Then in the off time there was Dinner [...]

Little Help for the Big Tuna

Gutsy move coach. If it doesn’t work out and Gramatica truns out to be Scatteratica you’ll want to pick up a good kicker in the draft.
May I suggest Alexis Serna? Made a 58 yarder against the Trojans. His percentage is down a bit this year, but only because the guy has 14 [...]

R.I.P.

We all knew it would happen sooner or later… Farewell VHS, one doesn’t expect to outlive childhood technology.  Oh how I loved you, even with a wired remote, and the flashing clock thing.  (I know it wasn’t you’re fault, you being just the media, not the console, but you two were practically inseparable in life, [...]

Futbal

Must post something, so I’ll opine about a good weekend of football.
Turkey Day, watched the ‘Boys romp on Tampa Bay and now all the kids in town are talking like its 1995 all over again.  I moved to the DFW area in 1999, so I missed all that.  Though I lived in Monterey when the [...]

I’m out…

Late start, long practices, and a slow to fix an unresponsive server host, and I missed a day for NaBloPoMo.  So I’m out.  Can’t get’er done, etc…
In the good news section, the Cowboys beat the Colts, I have a chance to take a 2 game lead in my FF league, and there isn’t a dinner [...]
