Been kind of a slow week. I think it’s a little post 4th of July/Summeritis that I have.  I’m loving coming home and it’s still full daylight out with all the kids out playing.  It’s like, yeah I have to work but I still get some play time too!  I better enjoy it since I think work will be getting busy real soon.

Due to the holiday last week I didn’t get to submit to carnivals like I normally do.  I did get into the Carnival of Financial Goals - Freedom Edition for my article Independence Day - What Does It Mean To You.  Thanks Patrick!

My Google Reader has been full of articles I haven’t been able to catch up on.  I have about 50 or so sites in my feeder and most of them post at least a few times a week.  Right now my unread sits at 374!  I’d love to add more sites but I don’t know how I could keep up.

Here are some great articles I was able to read through:

Make It Do… at Mrs Micah.   Sometimes it’s worth it to find your inner MacGuyver and make an item last a little longer.

How Much Should You Tip? Divide By Six at Cash Money Life.  I get frequent brain farts when I have to figure out tips.  Yet I’ve taken and passed calculus…

My Interview With Bill Gates at The Wisdom Journal.  No, not that Bill Gates.  But a great article on how you may be perceived during a job interview.

4 Quick Steps to Building Wealth at Brip Blap.  Sometimes simple answers are the best.  And happy blogging anniversary Steve!

11 Tips for First-Time Home Buyers by Quest For Four Pillars at Get Rich Slowly.  Someday soon we’ll be looking to buy a house.  These tips will be useful!

Secrets of the No-Stress Performance Review at On Simplicity.  I just finished up doing my groups’s reviews and sitting through my own.  These tips can help you do well on your next review.

The Bicycle Tutor.  Not a post per se but I found this via LifeHacker via Get Rich Slowly.  They site has a lot of guides to repair your bike.  Maintaining your bike is important and many things you can do yourself rather than going to a bicycle shop.

And now for my favorites from the Money Blog Network:

Milk Your Money - Become a Millionaire in 30 Years With Your Current Salary

Sense To Save - What To Do About a Spendthrift Spouse

Remodeling This Life - Lessons in Simplicity From Children

Prime Time Money - Reached Your Contribution Limits? Your Mid-Year Financial Check Up #4

    Thanks for the mention. :)

    Thanks for the nod! I also enjoyed Brip Blap’s piece–thanks for pointing it out.

    I hear you about having “summeritis”… it’s really slowing me down this week! I also just joined the Money Hackers so I should be starting to submit to carnivals too. Should be fun!

    Glad you enjoyed the home buying post.

    I’m going to bookmark the bike repair site - I’m terrible at doing that stuff…

    @ Mrs Micah - Used to love MacGuyver when it was on!

    @ MoneyEnergy - The summeritis really kicks in on Monday, especially when I was at the beach on Sunday!

    @ Four Pillars - When I was a kid I used to be able to take apart and repair a bike with no problems. Now with all the different gears and such it’s a little more intimidating. My bike needs a tune-up. Might have to go to the repair site and take a Saturday afternoon and fix things up.

    @ Patrick and Sara - I always enjoy linking out to articles I read!

    Hey, thanks for the links. That was a good resource, and some of those articles were excellent. I especially love the idea of “Making Do!”

    Some great links there. There is so much good material on the internet don’t you think?
