Whacky Wednesday
It’s a holiday here in the islands: Kuhio Day in honor of, well, yeah, Prince Jonah Kuhio. And yes, last week Friday (Good Friday) was also a state holiday. For me, the big difference is I get to take this day off from work but I didn’t get to take last week’s “holiday”.
I thought I would use today’s little break for some administrative posting here at Uncommon Cents. Like usual, I’m really pleased with how things have been going, and like usual, that’s thanks to readers like you. By my estimation, we’re ahead of where I hoped the blog would be at this point by a couple of months! That’s terrific.
I’m also trying to work into more of a regular schedule here; some folks have probably already noticed that I’m trying to have every day of the week be pretty much the same thing; Mondays, for instance, are Working Backwards days where I take a common financial term and try to define it and give examples of its use.
One other thing that comes to mind: I’ve noticed recently that at least three personal finance bloggers (the operators of Get Rich Slowly, Blogging Away Debt, and No Credit Needed) also have fitness blogs (Get Fit Slowly, Blogging Away Fat, and No Calories Needed). Since I’ve also done the fitness thing as well as the personal finance thing (and lost close to 90 pounds at this point, done a couple of century–100 mile–bike rides, and am training for another one of those as well as the Honolulu Marathon later this year) and I’m a diabetic, I’m considering starting a fitness blog for diabetics (I also have a friend and coworker whose a diabetic and fitness guy as well). Any ideas or comments on that?
Oh, and again… I still have Virtual Bank and ING Direct referral links for bonus money for me and you! Use the contact form if interested…
