Not Dead
I’m sorry things have been a little dead around here lately, but I assure you, dear readers, that I am not dead. I believe I mentioned before that I started a new job. Well, I’m working in a tax office (not as a tax preparer, so please do not ask me any tax related questions), and this is one of the busy times, so I’ve jumped right in to working lots and lots. It will slow down a bit more in two or so weeks, and I’ll have more time off. This week though, I’ve barely had time to check my email.
So, I hope to be back to regularly scheduled posting shortly, and do some posting this weekend.
Happy New Year!
As the final hours are ticking down to 2010, I wanted to wish all of my readers at Happy New Year!
This past year has been a challenge for me financially (losing my job and what not), and I know I wouldn’t have been able to survive without my thrifty ways and the tips I’ve garnered from the other bloggers I read. I hope my posts have been as helpful to you, my dear readers.
I plan for a great year ahead, with more freebies, money savings tips, and ways to make extra money. Hopefully you’ll stick around, maybe even subscribe to the RSS feed so you don’t miss out on anything.
So Happy New Year everyone! I hope we will all be happy, prosperous, and thrifty throughout 2010!
(Also, sorry for the lack of posts since I returned to Chicago. The boyfriend caught a cold while I was gone and promptly passed it on to me when I returned. It’s not the worst, but it’s enough to kill my energy and motivation. I hope to be up to full speed soon.)
Gone for the Holidays
I hope everyone is enjoying their blisteringly cold December (or at least it’s horrifically cold here. Hopefully my readers all live in wonderful places where it’s 72 degree Fahrenheit 24/7).
Tonight I’m heading down to St. Louis to visit with friends and family for Christmas. I will be back Saturday, but until then, do not expect much by way of posts here. My main focus will be spending time with people I don’t see the rest of the year.
So while I’m gone, I hope that all of you who celebrate Christmas enjoy the holiday, and those who don’t, have a great week as well (and hope whatever holidays you do celebrate were joyful as well).
Everyone be safe, keep warm, and be happy.
Blog Disclosure Policy
You may have heard the FTC has made some new rules regarding bloggers and their responsibility to disclose to their readers when they’re receiving some type of pay or free products for their endorsement of products or services. I don’t entirely understand all the new rules and such, a lot of them are pretty broad, so I will just be straight with all my wonderful readers about what goes on behind the scenes here at t20s.
Up until this point, I have no received any free products, etc to review or promote on this site. I have never been paid to write a review. Every word I’ve blogged has been my personal opinion, based on my experiences. I have reviewed free samples I’ve received, but that is different, as I just requested a sample from some sample website. No one asked me to write those reviews.
I do try to make a little money off of this site. You’ve probably noticed some advertising here and there. I do post affiliate links from time to time. Any link I post is for product and services which I find to legitimate and somehow helpful to my readers. I never post anything for the sole purpose of trying to make a profit. Quality and honesty are my main goals when it comes to this blog.
I do often benefit from my affiliate links. For example: I am in the Amazon.com
Like I’ve mentioned before, honesty is the most important part of blogging to me. The whole purpose of t20s is to share my thrifty ways and ideas to help other people my age live their own fun and thrifty lives. I appreciate all of my readers and hope you enjoy the content I provide.
If you ever have any questions about anything I’ve posted, feel free to comment or send me an email.
Happy Thanksgiving!
To all of my US readers, I’d like to wish you a happy Thanksgiving.
I’ll be busy with friends and family today and perhaps the next few days, so posting may be light, or non-existent.
Just be careful if you’re going out to battle the sales, and make sure to think about what you’re thankful for, because that is the whole point of this holiday.
Site Update: NaNoWriMo
I hope everyone survived Halloween and Daylight Savings Time. The boyfriend and I completely forgot about it. He woke me up and force me out of bed at 8:30 this morning, but I was really pissed when I found out it was only 7:30 AM. Oh well.
It’s November now, and you may or may not know that it is National Novel Writing Month, which basically means I’m going to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. It’s crazy exciting, but also pretty insane, because that’s a lot of writing. It averages out to 1667 words a day.
Now the reason I’m posting about this is just to let everyone know that if you notice less posts than normal, that is why. It may get pretty sparse towards the end of the month when the pressure’s on. Other than that, everything else is business as usual.
If you’re participating in NaNoWriMo as well, or if you’d like to get in on the action as well, feel free to friend me on there as well.
Happy Labor Day!
Happy Labor Day everyone! I hope that everyone gets the day off, though I know that isn’t always the case, so I just hope that everyone enjoys their day.
There will be no posts today since I’m heading out for our last beach day of the year. I’ll be back to regular posting tomorrow.
Have a great day!
Site Update: We Have Internet!
So it almost took three weeks…but we finally have internet at home. Posting should hopefully return to normal now.
Thanks everyone for your patience and continued readership!
Site Update: Still No Internet At Home
I am beyond frustrated with AT&T at this point. Unfortunately, they are the only company that provides DSL in our area and we really don’t want to switch to cable internet (the price difference here is astronomical), but we’re very tempted to switch at this point.
I hate to leave the site dormant for so long, so I will do my best to still bring new posts each day that I can, but please bear with me while we get this whole situation figured out. Thanks again for your patience!
Site Update: Still no internet
Well AT&T’s incompetence is really impressive this time. We are still without Internet. They say we’ll have it on the 11th now, but after the nightmare we have been through thus far I won’t hold my breath.
Hopefully we will have Internet ASAP and I’ll be able to return to regular posting. Thank you for your patience.
