Monday * 02/17/14   



  
Presidents Day is a national holiday celebrated annually in the United States. The event not only honors the birthday and life of President George Washington, but also commemorates all past American presidents.  Banks are closed and the mailman is on vacation...also, garbage and recycle pick up won't happen for us today.   In DeKalb County the sanitation service will run one day late.

It is a great day to be out of school for the kids!  The weather is gorgeous!  Many of you are loving the extra time at home (or on vacation) with your kids.  However, I also know that many of you are ready for your routine and to get the kids back in school!  Lots of you have asked me if I know whether or not Spring Breaks will be cut short or if extra days will be tacked on to the end of the school year to make up for our "snow days".  I don't know the answers but promise to post them as soon as I hear official word on that.

Here's a cartoon that a friend in NC posted on her Facebook page that I thought y'all might enjoy.   Have a great day!

Oh, and congrats to Mythreyi Joshi  for winning the Riley Salon Keratin treatment giveaway.  We will have another one in March so stay tuned!

Winter's Tale - Audra's Review of the movie

12967I'm an avid reader but unfortunately have not had the chance to read Mark Helprin's Winter's Tale.  My husband took me to see the movie version of this story for Valentine's Day and we both enjoyed the movie.   I was actually very surprised that he liked it as much as he did.  Throughout the weekend we discussed it from time to time and he remarked several times about enjoying the "good winning out over evil" theme.

Here are a few of my rambling thoughts about the movie.  First of all, I was obviously happy to spend two hours with Russell Crowe and Colin Farrell!  I was very pleasantly surprised to realize that the main female character was played by the lovely Jessica Brown Findlay better known as Lady Sybil from Downton Abbey!

The movie storyline is a bit confusing and left me feeling like there was so much more to the Read the rest of this review on the website »

Financial Innovations, LLC - What is Your Number?

Many people I meet have gone through the years saving what their cash flow allowed without having a goal. How much money do you need to achieve your financial independence (Achieving financial independence means reaching retirement with the option of working but you no longer have to work)? How do you figure out that number? I was at a professional continuing education seminar and the speaker said "I don't know my number, do you?" This took me off guard. In a room full of financial planners, I would hope we all know our number. The speaker did not, do you? Read More »
