Wednesday Night Link Love

I’ve been swamped with work for days and weeks on end and my poor RSS reader is packed to the brim with tons of great posts I’ll just never get around to reading. I clicked on a few of my favorite bloggers and decided to mark the rest as read in order to get on to more important things. So without further ado here are a few of my favorite posts from the past few weeks:

Link Love on a Sunny Saturday Afternoon

In an effort to stay away from the brain drain of my computer I’ve been reading books and playing outside the last few weeks. In fact, I find myself deleting much of the posts in my RSS reader without even reading them.

If I like an article I usually open it in a different tab and breeze through it when time allows. Lately I find it harder and harder to find the time to go back to the list of open tabs, but this afternoon I took a few minutes and found a couple of posts I really enjoyed.

Friday Night Link Love

I spent quite a few hours this week calculating and recalculating terms, rates and loan amounts in an attempt to determine whether or not my husband and I should refinance one or both of our mortgages. So far it looks like a wash. In fact, by the time we pay closing costs and deal with the hassle of the loan process we’re probably better off not refinancing. On the other hand I do like the idea of shrinking our monthly mortgage payments by a few hundred dollars each month.

In general I’d like to see more money piling into savings. I investigated our recent expenses and tried to figure out where we could trim a few more expenses. I spent so much time crunching numbers that I’ve had little time to do much else this week. In fact, my RSS reader was so backed up that at one point I found six hundred unread posts awaiting me. I certainly didn’t read all of them, instead I skimmed over the titles of my favorite feeds and discarded the rest. So without further ado here are my favorite posts. It’s a pretty short list this week:
