Housekeeping

I have some professors who ask at the start of class if we have any housekeeping to tend to, so I thought that was a good title for this post, which as a little bit of everything.

Tomorrow is August 1, which is the start the Question of the Day month-long marathon. I hope you participate by visiting the hosts each day and leaving your answer!

College Student Financials is hosting the 2nd Festival of U30 with part 1 (the questions) and part 2 (festival submissions). Join the next festival here.

I want to thank all of those who stopped by on the blog tour of homes. I'm sure your legs were tired after walking through the spaciousness of my place ;) As much as I tease, I really cannot imagine myself living in a large, airy place. The bigger the place, the more likely I am to collect stuff, which will need to be organized and have to be cleaned around or weeded at some point. Not to mention after spending a couple of weekends painting rooms with 9- and 10-foot ceilings, it gets really old teetering on a ladder with a paint roller. Anyway, I am still working my way through the tour and hope to finish by Thanksgiving, when I am not so busy with final papers, work, packing, moving, working some more, catching up on the blogosphere...
