God knows I love my husband. I want him to be happy. Having a trotter (horse) makes him happy. I'm glad he has an a hobby that makes him happy (that is, when he's not complaining about injuries or disappointing workouts).

I like to spend money; no, strike that. Let's put it this way; I like buying things, on sale, and if it's on sale I don't mind buying a lot of things. I prefer spending smaller amounts of money repeated times rather than coughing up a huge sum of money on a single occasion.

My husband and I agree on a lot of things, maybe even on most things, but we come from different worlds when it comes to dealing with our finances. Like many couples (apparently we are not the only ones on different wavelengths according to the media) this inconsistency is the huge rain cloud that at times blocks out the sunshine in our relationship. I'm the kind who wants to have money set aside for a rainy day (or a vacation*) while P is more a carpe diem kind of guy.

This is one of life's lessons that I continue to struggle with.

Today has been a tough day.   I've been provoked, and even though I knew what was coming, after 2½ hours I cracked. Not very yogic.   I had my first Body Balance class in two months, and as expected, I'm not exactly at my peak. Still I feel f...

I love living in Sweden. And there's a lot in the U.S. that could stand improvement. Remember that as you keep reading my short list of complaints.   Or actually read about my one big complaint:   This morning as I was brushing the snow off my ca...

Right now I am feeling almost too tired to get out of my chair. This is typical right after putting the kids to bed. I remember it being very important to my husband and me that our children got to bed early every evening (8 P.M.) so that we could ha...
