Why couldn't the witch have any babies? Because her husband had a Halloweenie! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I was tagged for a meme by J at Mid Life Clarity (a great read by the way). I've been thinking about this one. I may have posted a similar list like this at one time, but it's been while. So here goes: Link to your tagger and list these rules on your blog. * Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog - some random, some weird. * Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blog. * Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.1. 1. I spend a work day and a half (based on an 8 hour day) in the car commuting to work three days a week. I've pretty much decided that 4 hours a day in the car isn't worth the toll it is taking (and the tolls I'm paying) . 2. Watches are probably my favorite type of jewelery and I spend too much money on them. 3. I threw up cream of mushroom soup on the desk in kindergarten and have not been able to eat it since. 4. Northampton is one of my favorite towns in the United State...

My little buddy at work, Mr. Vo , took this picture of me in a meeting yesterday. He's thinks it's fun to snap pictures and videos with that fancy phone of his without us knowing while we are at work or out to lunch.

Not $10,000 that I had earned on the fund over the course of the 7 months I owned it. No, this was a loss of 20% of my original investment. I know, I know - market investments are supposed to be for the long haul, it's going to be difficult to make it back now, yadda yadda yadda. I just couldn't do it. I couldn't watch the value of my house slide and the value of my 401K and this fund all at once. It was killing me. So I went with those "experts" who were preaching more years of market doom and advising folks to take any money you may need in the next five years out of stocks. I'm pissed. Pissed that lending institutions got so greedy and gambled on risky loans and investments and sent my money down the toilet. Pissed that these are the same folks getting millions of dollars in severance packages for doing a bad job. Pissed that this market i...
