move your money

Look, I never wanted to be with a big bank.  I was with a smaller bank that had good customer service back in the 90s, but the larger banks ate them. With the buyouts and mergers in banking this last decade somehow, someway we ended up with Wells Fargo. In September, we were given notice…

marital fear

Fear.  My fear sits in the dark watching me.  Most of the time, I attempt to ignore it. Go on about my day. Go on about my business. But then I can feel it rumbling deep in the depths of my core and in the dark corners of my mind.  Then nervous panic will set…

got class?

Sorry that I’ve been MIA from my blog.  I have many posts bubbling inside of my head, particularly one about how I move out of Overwhelm, which is located near Crazyville.  Moms, you may be familiar with that location and state of mind.  Well, that’s where I’ve been for the past two weeks.  I’m starting…

thankful thursdays: mike mcelroy

I have MANY things to be thankful for, particularly when my heart is breaking for a family I barely know. Let me start by saying I love my neighbors.  Patty & Bruce are exactly the neighbors you would want when you move into a new neighborhood.  They are about 10 years our senior, their son…

This Is Not The Story You Think It Is – A Review and Resolution

Ok look, I’m just getting in the groove of being back at my desk and off vacation mode.  Typically, I like to post about books on Monday and I’m running a day behind.  So bare with me.  Thanks. Some wonderful blogger in my Facebook feed said something like, “run out and get this book, now.” …
