I’m a little behind in my blog reading, so I took a quick stroll through my blog feeds to find a few articles I thought you would find interesting.
Arduous asks WWMD? (What Would MacGyver Do?) MacGyver was one of my favorite shows while growing up.
MBH wrote about forever stamps and how you are paying for choice. I also found out that the price of stamps is going up May 12.
Lastly, Prime Time Money talks about tax rebate scams. It’s a shame that things like that happen.
This week, be prepared to hear a little more from me. I’m probably going to take a little break tomorrow and then starting on Monday I am going to catch up on a lot of things on here and answer some questions from comments that have been left. So if you have something on your mind that you would like to ask, feel free to do so in the comments.
I’d like to give a big thank you to my guest bloggers that past few days. I was going to use the time to work on a project, and I did a little bit, but I was a bit sidetracked. The weather here has officially turned to spring so we had to get out and enjoy it a bit. After a very long and snowy winter, the sunshine and warmer temps are very welcome.
The project is still in the works. As I started working on it, I realized that it is going to be a bigger project than I thought. So, I’ll work on it a little bit here and a little bit there until it is completed.
I’m glad to be back. There are a lot of things to give an update on. The biggest of which is that we found ourselves with a little windfall (yay!). Expect more on that shortly, although you can see what the windfall did to our debt total at the right.
Again, thank you to my guest bloggers!

I’ve been tagged by Catherine to participate in the 123 Book Meme.
The rules?
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.
The book closest to me right now is It’s Called Work for a Reason (aff. link) by Larry Winget. This is one that I won from All Financial Matters. I’ll be reviewing this book shortly, but if you are interested in hearing more about Larry, I reviewed his book, You’re Broke Because You Want to Be last month.
Ok, now back to the meme. Here’s what we find on page 123:
Do they promise faster service or better pricing? No, they just promise better service. I like it.
For context, Larry is talking about DHL and their new ad campaign. Larry is a bit no-holds barred when it comes to talking about companies and how they run their businesses.
Now it’s my turn to tag a few people:
JW at Need to Be Debt Free
Jesse at The Penny Saved
DebtKid at DebtKid.com
Grace at GRACEful Retirement
Boomie at The Wastrel Show
Another Friday is here and it’s time for a round-up of a few articles that caught my eye this week:
DebtKid shares how he deals with the debt blues.
We’re In Debt is wondering what you were in a tough time financially. Would you use your credit card as an emergency fund?
CleverDude had an interesting article on writing your autobiography through spending. One of my goals in the next few months is to dig up some old credit card receipts and take a look at how we spent money.
If you have bought a diamond in the last 12 years, you may want to check out MyMoneyBlog’s post on diamond class action lawsuit. We only have a small diamond in my engagement ring, and I’m pretty sure I threw out the receipt already.
Lastly, David gives some personal finance advice for your 30s. It’s part of a project for a network that he belongs to, so make sure you scroll to the bottom of the article to read the other entries.
That’s it for this week. I’m looking forward to sticking my nose into our finances this weekend to pay some debt or beef up our savings account. So expect some updated numbers shortly 
Another week has gone by, and what a week it has been! There is much to talk about, and I will shortly. There was good news, then bad news, then good news, then bad news…all in one day. Overall, though, so far the good news outweighs the bad news.
In the meantime, here are some articles that caught my eye this week:
Louise has an informative post on How to Survive Debt Collector Harrassment.
Matt discusses Giving Up Time For Money. That’s an issue I’ve been dealing with lately.
JW has had some excellent news lately, and his debt load has been reduced dramatically. That can be a big motivator, and it has been for his whole family (even his teenage kids!). That has lead to some Changes In Their Plan.
Oh yeah…and I think I have to get something ready for a book giveaway, too 
Mrs. Micah asks, Would You Consider Becoming a CFP? I don’t have an interest in becoming a CFP (Certified Financial Planner), but I really enjoy helping others track their finances with Quicken. I was able to help someone over the phone yesterday and it made my day.
Mighty Bargain Hunter found a very interesting article about predictions about the upcoming yard sale economy.
There were goals all over the personal finance blog-o-sphere, and Flexo rounded up quite a few of them. It’s always interesting to see what others are shooting to accomplish.
Lastly, I played guest blogger over at No Credit Needed. NCN wanted me to about 50% of our credit card debt. Thanks for the opportunity, NCN
I hope you have a great weekend!
Another Friday, well, Saturday now, and it’s time to share some link love. I’ve been pretty busy lately so I’d like to say thanks again to the bloggers that helped to keep things fresh on here:

Rob in Madrid submitted Dealing With Setbacks, My Two Cents Worth.
