Sleeping in the Car, Again

November 30th, 2007 · No Comments

Buried deep in my previous post was a money saving idea.
Yes, while napping is nice, saving money on lunch is better.  Add it up over time and it is tasty indeed.
If you figure that lunch out will cost you anywhere from $6 to $10 (OR MORE!), then if you can fix a simple lunch for […]

Sleeping in the Car

November 30th, 2007 · No Comments

The Swiss_Mouse sleeps in his car almost every day.
Seriously.
What are the benefits?  Well, first off, if you read up on it, “power naps” are suppose to help you!  Maybe.  Swiss_Mouse ends up being mighty groggy though.  Not necessarily a bad thing.   Depending on the day, the Swiss_Mouse gets in a 10 minute to 50 […]

November 27th, 2007 · 2 Comments

The Swiss_Mouse put Blogrush on the Cheddarblog a while back. He was unsure of what exactly it would or could do for him, but quite frankly he was willing to try out anything to up traffic to the Cheddarblog.

Their site seems to have […]

The Swiss_Mouse is going to try something starting in December.
He is going to start a blog and the only reason for its existence will be to create a “pay-per-post” blog.
He has read with great interest on other blog sites about this. He has not done much research on the subject AT ALL, but he […]

Laptop needed for more Versatile Blogging

November 21st, 2007 · 2 Comments

The Swiss_Mouse uses a desktop to blog, but he truly needs a laptop!
A laptop would free him to blog while watching Project Runway and What Not To Wear.   Truthfully he could blog from the couch or blog while helping the mouse-lings with homework. 
Now he has to drag his sorry tail downstairs to his man-cave and […]

Former Co-Worker now numbed

November 19th, 2007 · No Comments

The Swiss_Mouse has a friend who is a former co-worker.
The Swiss_Mouse met this woman when they both worked for the same horrible company.  The Swiss_Mouse’s friend hated the company so much that she lasted 6 months before quitting.  The Swiss_Mouse lasted 15 months. (Someday the Swiss_Mouse will reveal more of that story)
For years, even though […]

The Swiss_Mouse family have multiple magazine subscriptions.  Some are coming due and this is a great place for the Swiss_Mouse to take a hard look at them and trim some fat from the budget.
Currently, the family subscribes to  16 magazines.  We love to read!  But this winds up costing at least $321 a year or […]

The Swiss_Mouse uses Capital One’s No Hassle Miles credit card as his primary means of paying for any transaction. FIRST, let him say, he pays off the balance in full EVERY MONTH.
However the Swiss_Mouse uses this card because it does several things for him. It allows him to carry less cash on hand, […]

Goals for 2008

November 14th, 2007 · No Comments

Though still November it is NOT too early to think about goals for 2008.
As mentioned in earlier posts, the Swiss_Mouse writes out his goals both long term “overall” goals and shorter term achievable goals.
 November is the perfect time to start planning for what can be achieved in the new year.
Right now the Swiss_Mouse has several […]
