Saving Street Parking Spots
It’s illegal to save your public Chicago street parking spot after you’ve shoveled your car out, but people do it, and the police rarely enforce.
What are the police going to do anyway? Give the ticket to the old broken baby’s crib you put in the street to save your spot?
(And if you dare take the law into your own hands and move that baby crib and park your car, you risk coming back to slashed tires. No, this didn’t happen to me but to a friend. Really.)
I’m always talking to my boys about business-type things, like the worst 4-letter word ever (debt) and interest rates and mortgages and such. We talk about the spirit of entrepreneurship and how you can create your own business by solving people’s problems.
Well, check this entrepreneur out. Talk about trying to bank – $15.49 actually – by meeting Chicagoans needs!

Cheat Day turns to Cheat Days
This week my Slow Carb Cheat Day turned into my Slow Carb Cheat Days because…. well, I am not making excuses; it is what it is, right? My circumstancs on Friday with the fasting and biometric test boiled over to Saturday, which is my usual cheat day, so I ended up with two cheat days this week. Sigh. Read more…
Why do we diet?
Well, today is not my Slow Carb diet cheat day. Tomorrow is. And, yet, why did I just eat a bagel with cream cheese and peanut butter? (Not just “eat” it, but enjoyed every single bite.) Read more…

One word to describe this? Surprise. Read more…

Thank goodness this lady – Carol Moseley Braun - has very little chance of becoming Chicago’s next mayor. Read more…
Taking Measurements
Sticking with my plan, I took my measurements so that I will be able to tell how many inches I have lost.
If you’re following the Slow-Carb Diet, here is what you should measure using a simple tape measure.
Both upper arms - mid-bicep
Waist - horizontal at navel
Hips – at widest part below waist
Both legs - mid-thigh
Hi mom Thinkin about you
Note: If you received a post update email from me last night and clicked on the link only to find the post deleted, take my word for it and forget about it. I had a momentary lapse in judgement and allowed my anger to surface towards people I don’t even know. Or maybe I know them, but anyway.
On a much happier note, check out the picture below that Zane drew for me in Paint and put on my laptop’s background as a surprise. He gushes with sweetness and never fails to bring a smile to my face even through my tears. (Click to see bigger so you can read what he wrote.)
Slow Carb Hour 42
Note: This is the first update of my slow carb diet from The 4-Hour Body book by Timothy Ferriss. Look here for my first post so you can catch up. Or just scroll down.
It’s been 42 hours, and I’m still going strong on my slow carb diet experiment. Fortunately, several of those hours consisted of sleeping, which might be adding to my success. Read more…
The 4-Hour Body – Cruel Book Title
The 4-Hour Body is not my 3rd book for my 25 in 2011 because I haven’t read it beginning to end yet.
Even the author, Timothy Ferriss, recommends that readers not read it beginning to end and only read the chapters that are relevant to them.
So, that’s how I started – reading the chapters that I personally need to read – and it turns out
it’s the first 100 pages, and guess what the topic of those 100 pages is…. Read more…
4 reasons why Debt Wise is not the answer
As a quick follow-up on my DebtGoal review, I wanted to talk about Debt Wise, which is pretty much the same type of online program. Just like with DebtGoal, you enter your debts into Debt Wise and it magically spits out a monthly debt payment plan for you. And, just like DebtGoal, Debt Wise is $14.95 a month. Read more…
Online Savings Accounts – I approve!
You’ve been living under a rock – and I’m jealous of you – if you didn’t know that you could save your money in an online bank. And it’s all done fantastically-electronically with no trips to the bank. Nice!
A savings account at an online bank is also a convenient way… Read more…
25 in 2011 – Books 1 & 2
I’m on track for my 25 in 2011 with 2 books finished! And they are two completely different books – I like variety – and I get to recommend them both to you. Read more…
Debt Spreadsheet – Found!
Oh Google, the things you do for me! Just imagine what it gave me with the search “debt stacking excel spreadsheet”?
You got it, numerous spreadsheets that I can use to essentially mimic for free what I’d have to pay $14.95 a month for over at DebtGoal.
I tested out the Debt Reduction Calculator at vertex42.com, the home of all-things Excel it seems, by clicking Download Now. (Go do this now! And you can click on the image at the left to see the spreadsheet that you’re going to use.) Read more…
DebtGoal Review
Heard of DebtGoal? It’s a site that gives you a customized payment plan for your debt – the worst 4-letter word in our language. If you’re considering signing up, take a look at my walkthrough and read what I think about it. Read more…
Beyond Scared Straight
Wow. Have you watched the new AETV show Beyond Scared Straight? The boys and I watched it last night, and we were blown away. Finally a reality show in which we can learn something – in this case, just how much we don’t want to go to prison. Read more…
No Good Title
I owe a lot of personal thank yous to a lot of you out there for letters and emails you have sent. A lot of people are those I’ve known well in the past and just lost touched through the years as tends to happen. Unmistakably, your words and thoughts and prayers mean so much. And I know it’s not easy. What do you say and write to someone like me? What do you say, what can you say. Read more…
Hi-hi-Hi!
After my last few posts, we need to laugh, and this will make you at least smile.
This is one of my dearest and bestest friend’s baby-son, Musa. Brought to you by Musa (of course) and my son Zane’s You Tube account!
