Spring is here and boy do my allergies know it! Did you have a fun St. Patrick’s day? A lot of people dressed in green, but no one brought green bagels in the office. I’ll have to do that next year.
You might remember that I was a sponsor at Enemy of Debt’s March challenge. Congratulations to Julie who won a copy of Dave Ramsey’s The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness
