sasha, from http://www.hypnobird.com, has started a new column on http://www.freecreditfixes.com: hypnobudgets - life...budgeted!  her latest column is a great read!  i think you’ll enjoy it:

When you think of summer what comes to mind? Lemonade? Watermelon? Picnics? Swimming pools? Icy frozen treats straight out of the freezer? Maybe running through a sprinkler in the wet grass? All things that will help cool you down. Face it. Summer is hot! Its part of what we love about summer and most of what we hate.

While I don’t know of any specific scientific data, it seems to me that being cool becomes more and more important as we get older. Do we just feel the heat more? Perhaps it is the lack of a three month summer vacation that makes us more aware of just how hot it is. Or the fact that most adult small talk centers on the weather. One of an increasing shrinking number of ‘safe’ topics to discuss with strangers at the bus stop, it is nonetheless a constant reminder of just how hot (or cold, rainy, windy or snowy) it is. I don’t believe I ever once went up to a fellow third grader on the playground and inquired “So Stan. Is it hot enough for ya?” And I’m equally sure I never heard anyone else on the playground ask that question.

haven’t posted much as of late, but i’ve been redoing bits and pieces of the site.  ~new look~ for farrago and fleshed out arin’s attic’s web design pages.  i like the look of both and may carry it over to the rest of the site at some point, but next on the agenda is to focus on http://www.freecreditfixes.com !  with any luck, we may be able to get sasha of http://www.hypnobird.com to do a section on being thrifty! 

i give you:

HYPNOBIRD’s house of doom!

i completely redesigned the site, so that it works *much* better and is easier on the eyes the text in the site images were created using the background of two of sasha’s paintings.  i think it came out very well
