Where are the Women?
There’s something about walking into a car dealership. There’s something about the air in there. I’ve noticed it for years. I have this kind of “out of place” feeling when I step inside one of these halls that smell of rubber and after shave and ooze testosterone.
It’s a car dealership. I drive a car. I have driven a car since I was sixteen. Why do I feel so out of place here? Is it because I don’t understand cars at all? I know what color I like. I know cars need g…

Have you made plans for Father's Day yet? If your dad is like mine, he is going to love the idea of getting desert from Wendy's. My father has a heart for children and says that most of his best friends are under 4 feet tall. He looks forward to his turn to work with the kids during children's church and has faithfully followed his class from infancy to first grade. Although his children are adults, he keeps a stocked toy closet and a library of Disney Pixar and other such movies (although those…

Okay, I'm stoked to be eating pancakes for charity in a couple of weeks. I feel honored to be a part of the amazing people behind
Carb Day For A Cause.
You know, I’ve been thinking about what it means to be hungry. I never really thought about it much until I jumped on board with Carb Day For A Cause. I mean, how often do we exaggerate ourselves by using the common phrases, “I’m STARVING,” or “I’m so hungry I could die.” I mean, seriousl…

It is true…the government is giving away money - but only to what they consider first time home buyers. The qualifications are really pretty clear. Here’s the skinny:
You have to be a first timer home buyer. What is a first time home buyer (you would think it’s pretty self explanatory…but it’s NOT!!!) A first time home buyer in the government’s eyes is someone who HAS NOT owned principal residence in the past 3 years or a home at all. That means you could’ve owned a in the past, own a vacation…

In these uncertain times of job loss and home values deflating many home owners are lost in what to do when they are faced with the heart wrenching fact that they can’t make their mortgage payments. So, when faced with this realty what do you do? What are your options? Well, what so many people don’t know is that your mortgage company will work with you to help you avoid foreclosure. The fact is they don’t want your home; they want you to make your payments because that is how they make their mo…

There have been so many stories about the current economic impact of the
"housing crisis" or the
