Just tidbits about money and finance.
From the category archives:
I don’t have pictures yet, but someone took a shot or two for me last night at knitting group. Specs from Ravelry. I’ll probably upload the picture to Ravelry when I get a copy. (Though boyfriend did tell me where my digital camera is!)
This is a handspun yarn of Ashland Bay 50-50 Merino/Tencel blend. The [...]

Not really mailbag. More like replies to comments since I don’t have much to write about except really boring hockey stuff.
So here goes…

This barely has anything to do with personal finance, except at the end where this year’s expenditure on knitting is listed. Scroll to the last paragraph if you want to know what a bad spendthrift I’ve been or not.
All my current shawls are shedding. This annoys me at work. I like a pretty shawl to [...]

It’s an apples to apples thing. My friend is a long-time quilter and I’ve been looking at quilt fabrics a lot recently. Together we went to the Quilt Patch in Fairfax, VA over the weekend.
I had recently been shopping withMrs. Micah at G Street Fabrics. We also walked over to a nearby JoAnn’s Fabrics. I [...]

My company is kind of funny. The Red Cross is not usually on its approved charity list, however due to the recent disasters in China and Myanmar, they’ve approved donations to several relief organizations like the Red Cross and World Vision.
I live within blocks of the Red Cross and boyfriend lives within blocks of World [...]

How about 2 3rd place finishes for the baby goats my friend took to the show? Ok. I know, you don’t read my blog to hear about cute little baby goats. CuteOverload needs a new category for them though. They are pretty adorable.
Dinner Friday night at Calico was superb. The duckling I had was okay, [...]

There were no deep-fried Twinkies this year. This is tragic. The Howard County Fairgrounds no longer has a deep-fried Twinkie vendor. I’m not sure that they sell deep-fried Snickers bars either. This is tragic! I mean, kettle-corn is great and all, but it’s not the same gooey yumminess. For my overpriced, but delectable pit lamb [...]

Status: April Net Worth will have to wait for now. Too busy with class to put it up.
I have changed my mind, and I will be taking the exam at the end of class, even though it’s not the official Oracle DBA certification exam. I figure I should take it should I decide to get [...]

Surprisingly, there were some good things in my budget.
On the income side, because I made an effort to save, I made ~$100.00 in interest by doing nothing but saving! I like that! I don’t think 2007 will see a comparable number unless people want ING referrals from me. The ones I got from 2006 were [...]
