Weekly Update 7

March 18th, 2012 | 6 Comments

Not too much exciting stuff went on this week.  Kyle and I were working pretty hard so I didn’t spend as much time in the PF blogosphere as I usually have.  I saw some exciting positive results at work – I like my job right now.  🙂  We watched our basketball team flail out of the NCAA tournament; we’re still watching but now I’m cheering for the other teams from our conference.  On Friday night we babysat for our friends’ one-year-old – 45 minutes of parenting practice!  The child had been very well-trained and we had a great time!     Posts I Liked Well Heeled Blog wrote a post on what she thinks a college personal finance curriculum should include.  A very interesting proposal!  Head over to her blog to add your thoughts … Read entire article »

We had a rather busy week in terms of after-work activities.  In addition to our usual ones, we attended a lecture on science and faith by a mathematics professor from Oxford and watched a basketball game with friends.  On Friday night we went to a wine and cheese party with some friends – delicious!  Kyle also has been working super hard on a software release for his research so he’s been putting in lots of hours on that.  Using only one car has been going pretty well!  I had to catch a ride from a friend once this week and we had a morning or two of getting-out-of-the-house tension but we’re managing.   Posts I Liked SB at One Cent at a Time shared how devoting increased time to his blog caused his … Read entire article »
