Yesterday was an odd day at work. Just kind of sideways. Nothing major. I just felt a little bit like I was walking on the deck of a a boat that was tilted to the right. When I got home, Sweet Man had left for a gig, and Wylie had play rehersal. Miles ate his lunch (which he had forgotton and left at home,) so that left only Judea and I for dinner. I was glad for the distraction of cooking. ... View Post
sunday scones
One of the changes we are making as we move towards adoption and perhaps country living, is the idea of living in a firm budget. This is something we have struggled with our entire marriage for a lot of reasons. After 14 years I think maybe we have finally learned by trial, error, fire, some good therapy and some more trial what works best for us: Cash Budgeting. This means we have set limits on ...
