So, the Swine Flu has hit Minnesota.  Not a complete shock as we have a high concentration of not just Hispanics but, Mexican's and we as cold weather people flock to warm/cheap places….hello Mexico!
Anyway, that is NOT my blog today.  Actually, I was trying to decide on one of two blog subjects:  [...]

Good Morning Everyone!
Are you all still out there?  No one have the Swine flu yet?

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I don't have much time since my daughter's bus comes soon but, thought I would write a quick blog about saving.

Good Morning Everyone!
So, today, I will give you all a quick Schwab Challenge update.  We are heading into week #4.  I am holding steady.  I am not gaining, I am not losing.  Same thing as I was doing before the Challenge so, my spirits are high!
Steve after 4 weeks of losing weight put on 3 [...]

So, today is supposed to be 78 degrees!!!!!!!  Oh, I am so thrilled.  I love summer, I love summer, I love summer.  Spring is one step closer to summer.  Have I told you all how much I love summer?
