I hope all of you had a good week. I had another crazy busy week and I am currently attending a wedding as the best man. I have been trying to keep everything under control this week, but it seems that I let everything slip away from me. I have not been around much in the Personal Finance blog-o-sphere. I have too much going on right now, with this wedding, website redesign, work, and the baby. I am not complaining, but just upset with myself for falling behind. If I regularly comment on your blog, please forgive me for not being as attentive as I should be. I will get it together soon enough.
As most you know, my wife and I purchased a couch. It was supposed to be delivered on Wednesday. When the delivery came, my wife and I thought it was the wrong sectional (or the right sectional, wrong configuration). I proceeded to decline the order except for a few pieces. I called the store and they fixed the problem and were shipping out a new couch. A little later in the day, my mom (a great interior designer), who helped us pick out the couch, was asking us questions about it. Come to find out, the couch was right all along. All I can say is Damn! I had to call back with my head low and admit my stupidity to the customer service person. They were very cordial about it and our original delivery will be back this coming Wednesday. We could have had it sooner, but we couldn’t work out the delivery because of the wedding. Lesson to be learned is make sure you know what you are talking about before you refuse a shipment. I have never had a sectional, so the configuration didn’t make sense to me. Oh well…..On to the roundup!
Website of the Week
This blog is run by the amazing Michelle. She works extremely hard and does a lot of things. Not only is she a blogger, but she also has a lot of other side ventures that allow her to make a good amount of extra income. She blogs about money, life, and anything she feels like. I mean, it is her blog, right? Michelle’s work has inspired me to try to find more side income in order to save for a down payment on a house. If you want some encouragement and think you can handle extra work, check out Michelle’s blog and her Extra Income section.

About Grayson
Grayson I hope that you have a great time at the wedding and thanks for the mention.
Michelle has also inspired me to find other sources of income. She’s taught me that your 9-5 job doesn’t necessarily have to be the only way to make cash.
Have a great weekend.

Thanks for the mention Grayson! Hope you have a great weekend at the wedding. Sorry to hear about the couch, though glad you got it worked out. I just realized that we need to buy a new mattress ourselves here soon, now I am just hoping we can hold out til the place we’d buy it has their annual sale in May.

Small world, wedding has been pretty much the only word I’ve been hearing on a consistant basis these days. I proposed to my now fiance in September and, well, now I get to live and breath wedding stuff
Wedding invites, where we will have the party, the ceremony, the food, the decorations, bridal shower, invite count, omg, it’s a lot. I wish you the best of luck and totally commiserate with you!

Hope you’re having fun at the wedding. Don’t stress the commenting. I have far fewer things going on in my life right now and have still been a little behind in the blogosphere. It happens, that’s life.
