$30 for 30 Days - Day 13

Still doing well with this little project. Today I got a little spolied as Carin showed up with some pasta and I must confess to feeling pretty full tonight. I feel kind of bad about it so as a penalty I will not be taking a lunch (my typical bowl of rice) to work tomorrow. I [...]

Learning Polish - Day 1

Saturday I took the first step in accomplishing one of my new year’s resolutions. Carin and I stopped by the Willowbrook Mall and made an appearance at the Rosetta Stone booth. I purchased the Level 1 Polish CD set for $200 (came with a free headset and a 6-month guarantee). Today I took my first [...]

Playboy Mansion Secrets Revealed by Ex-Playmate

I typically wouldn’t write about something 2 and a half years old, but this is something I had never heard of before, and seeing as it was the top news item on Digg today, I don’t think many people were aware of it either. Professional poker player and former Playboy Playmate Jill Ann Spaulding has [...]

$30 for 30 Days - Day 12

Still going strong with this thing, although not as strong with the blog postings (sorry Christine). This weekend was pretty tough. I was over at Carin’s house last night and tonight and Carin would not allow her parents to feed us. Rather, we ate rice for dinner both nights. Yesterday’s rice wasn’t bad but today [...]

$30 for 30 Days - Day 9

A little over 24 hours since my last post on this topic and all remains quiet on the western front. I have still yet to spend any more money on food, but can a foresee a future grocery store trip on the horizon, maybe not next week but definitely the one after. If I can [...]

Cellswapper to the Rescue

Cellswapper, a New Jersey based company which has dubbed itself the “Ebay of cellphone contracts,” has come out with an amazing service just in time for the upcoming iPhone release in June. On Cellswapper, users can transfer their cellphone contracts to other users, with Cellswapper taking only a $15 fee. And as most carriers have [...]

$30 for 30 Days - Day 8

My apologies to my readers for missing a day on this topic, apparently the natives do get restless *cough* Christine *cough*. So far it remains smooth sailing as far as the experiment is concerned. I am beginning to find it mind-boggling that I haven’t spent a penny on food in the last 8 days. The [...]
