The phrase “New Year’s Resolutions” brings to mind a few things. The promise of a new day, a new start and a new beginning. For those of us who have made many of these resolutions in the past (and didn’t end up keeping them) it also brings up a feeling of a kind of failure. …

I had a dream…
…that I woke up with green hair. Yes, green hair. Just like the girl in this photo. Why in the world did I dream of such a thing? Who knows – maybe it’s because I just had my hair professionally colored for the first time in a long, long while. A cut and color was …
How to REALLY enjoy the Holidays…
The holidays are a wonderful time. The holidays are a stressful time. Both of these statements are true. With the right kind of attitude (and effort), you actually can have Happy Holidays! The holidays can bring on financial distress and stress. We all want to give just the right present to our loved ones. Those loved …
It’s the little things…
The holidays are quickly approaching. Before you know it, we will all be sitting around the table enjoying Thanksgiving dinner. And soon after that, Christmas will be upon us. These are fun times, but they are also stressful times. There is pressure to have the perfect dinner, to have your home decorated just so, to …
Oh no, you didn’t…
(Photo courtesy of spreadshirtmedia.com) Yes, I did that. But no, I didn’t do that other thing. What? Do you admit to some things and not others? I’ve been thinking about this lately, as I’ve seen people doing odd things and behaving in ways that just makes me shake my head. It got me to think of …

I would do anything for love…
(Photo courtesy of clipart-library.com) …but I won’t do that. Anyone remember that Meatloaf song? Am I dating and aging myself here? Maybe, but…there are some things I will do, in the name of saving money. I want to keep my finances in check so I can accomplish all I want to do. But there are …
Close but no cigar (yet, good enough)…
Close but no cigar. A classic phrase I heard way back during my Freshman year in High School. I had never heard it before, and I don’t know why it made me laugh the way it did (probably because of the teacher who said it). To me, this statement meant that things were close, yet …
I’m scared…
…of scary movies. I always have been, and I probably always will be. Recently we were talking at work about this type of movie. I don’t mind suspense, but I really prefer comedy over any other kind. Rest assured, I won’t be attending the showings of “It” and “Annabelle 2” – or whatever it’s called. …
