Just tidbits about money and finance.
From the monthly archives:
Normally my Propser account isn’t worth mentioning. I only have four loans at $200. I made a principal investment of $175 and the final $25 is interest that I earned on the initial loans.
Usually I get about $1.50 on the principal paid back on one of my loans, but recently after Christmas, I noticed that [...]

I will tell you what I bought for new clothes last week.
First the suits: I got two suits from Ann Taylor. They were two different cuts of jacket, but the pants are essentially the same. I wear a 6P in one jacket and a 4 Regular in another. One suit is blue with tiny light [...]

Hi!
I’m mapgirl! I’m about 10-15 lbs over my ideal weight. I’m too cheap to buy new clothes. I’d rather diet to fit back into what I own.
To help me track my calories and my spending, I found a Calorie-Counter Database at About.com. I use that with the online grocery shopping site for my local grocer [...]

LOL. You guys are a pip!
#1 – The trick to growing out my nails is that they still look professional even after I bite them. I do not bite my nails down to the quick unless I have broken the nail already. After biting, I run a file over them and they still look like [...]

uh……I don’t know exactly why people are asking me, a very happily single person about childbirthing and laser eye surgery and if I made that consideration at all. I can only guess that it’s because I said you can ask me anything about laser vision correction surgery, and I never anticipated this question at all [...]

January sucks for retail. Why? Because you want to shop and spend some money, but there is nary a sales person to be found.
Clueless friend and I are shopping and he’s wondering why there isn’t anyone around to ask about opening a display case for us. I then laugh at him and explain that this [...]

All was successful with my surgery last week. There were only two problems, but not huge ones. Since I changed jobs, I don’t have an insurance card yet, so I’ve paid for all of meds out-of-pocket. That’s not the problem though, and I’ll explain why.
First of all, I told the nurses, technicians, and doctors that [...]

I think I’m going to be lucky if I reach the peak of my 2007 net worth.
The reason is two-fold.
1. I am taking a bath in the markets lately in my retirement accounts. Coupled with my low contribution rate in 2008, I think I’ll be lucky to be flat and not lose anything in the [...]

Sorry for not posting till very late today, but yesterday I had my vision correction surgery. I’ll write up more about it later since there is a lot to tell about it, from a medical perspective as well as a personal finance one. (No, REALLY!)
I hope all of you have a very nice weekend! Check [...]
