Links Back to the Week That Was 9/21

Posted on Sep 21, 2008 by Cari McGee in Week That Was

Finally, Fall!  Tomorrow marks the autumnal equinox, for which I am very thankful.  I do NOT like the heat.  I’m a sweater girl.

BIG economic news for the country this week – we seem to be going downhill.  Fast.  I am nervous, and yet not.  I’m not nervous because I know there is nothing I can actually do, but am feeling anxiety over what might happen.  I waded through article after article this week regarding the financial mess, and this is one of the best for tying it together with real estate. I found it on Kris Berg’s San Diego Home Blog.  Kris’ lead-in is also funny, so read her post if you get a chance.  If she were much older than me, I’d want to grow up to be her, but I think she’s probably my age, so I can only hope to come back as someone vaguely Kris-like in another life.

And you all know how much I love The Consumerist.  The caption supposedly betraying Bernanke’s thoughts has not failed to crack me up in the fifteen times I’ve seen it since it was posted Friday afternoon.

My dh, Matt McGee, wrote a book.  It’s about the rock ban U2.  Love the band or hate them, it’s still pretty cool that he wrote it and it is due to be released in less than a month! My son and I saw a house we loved at the Parade of Homes last week, and it’s about $150k over what we could afford.  My son and I are operating under the delusion that the U2 book will be a huge seller and we’ll be able to move into the house we love on the 14th, the day after the book is released.  I always say, if you’re going to dream, dream big!

And you know what?  That’s it for now!
