Looking for People to Interview

by

I wrote the other day about some credit card interest rates mysteriously increasing. I was contacted by another blogger who would like to talk to some of you affected by this:

Hi, it’s Kim Palmer from the alpha consumer blog (www.usnews.com/alpha). For an upcoming article, I am looking for credit card users who recently experienced fee or interest rate increases. If you are willing to be in the story (and for me to use your name and experience), please email me at alphaconsumer@usnews.com.

If you feel like sharing your story and perhaps even venting a little to Kim, shoot her an email.

Man, This Flu Just Won’t Let Up

by

The good ole flu bug ran rampant through our household. First it was my husband, then me and then my son. Everyone appears to be better, but I think I had a relapse of sorts today. My ribs feel like they were run over by a truck. I’m so very sore.

Days like today are good days to so some catching up on “easy” tasks. You know them…they are the ones that are easy to do but pretty boring so you put them off. For me, that’s filing some paperwork. We are transitioning to a paperless filing system and I have so much to organize on my computer. I admit that I am a bit of a pack-rat when it comes to paperwork so going paperless has been a huge project.

It also was a perfect day to relax on the couch and watch American Idol. That is one of my guilty pleasures 🙂

Tonight I am going to go to bed pretty early and I hope I feel better tomorrow. This weekend is supposed to be a very nice weekend and I’d love to get outside some. Lately we’ve been blasted with very cold weather so we’ve stayed inside. I’m starting to get stir-crazy. Except for a grocery shopping trip, I’ve only been out and about once in the past 2 and a half weeks.

On the bright side, when you stay home you are less likely to spend money 😉
