Gloomy

I’ve never been fond of rain, and I’m especially displeased by cold rain. It’s that weather that makes you feel damp and chilled, even if you’re carrying a large umbrella – which I am.

Borscht was awesome. Our pressure cooker cookbook (http://www.amazon.com/Pressure-Perfect-Twenty-Minutes-Cooker/dp/0060505346) really is an amazing book and I recommend it to anyone contemplating taking the PC plunge!

It was a really slow day at work yesterday (which is troubling considering the ongoing market drama) but I used the time to really get down and dirty with Mvelopes – our financial tracking software. Similar to Franklin Planner and Blackberry, I’ve always suspected that you need to at some point surrender yourself to the program and quit relying on daily balance checks online.
By way of context, I’ve relied solely on checking balances (as opposed to balancing my checkbook) for 10 years now.
And since I’ve never studied accounting (not even in high school), I’ve been unsure how to develop confidence in Mvelopes. So yesterday I crunched the numbers and am feeling better.

Not ready to never look at the bank website – but closer…

Mmm, borscht. I love that. Yes, this is a day to read in bed, watch old movies and eat delicious snacks with cuddly pets. I wish we had a rainy day day off once a year.

Mvelopes sounds scary. I should look at it. We are thinking of combining accounts but since I am so anal I have to balance my checkbook to the penny, I don't know if it will work.

Love your blog! Check it every day.

Early b-day hugs,HW
