Weekend Roundup – It’s a Quiet Morning Edition

I can’t believe how quiet it is here this morning!  Jim is at a worship leader’s conference for the rest of the day, and Liz spent the night with a friend.  So it’s just Sam and me here holding down the fort.  He’s immersed in Word World (a PBS show, for those of you who don’t have 5 year olds), giving me a moment to write my roundup post.

Before we get to the roundup, I’d like to share some exciting news!  This week has been big here at Being Frugal! Thursday I passed the 900 subscriber mark, and yesterday Being Frugal had it’s 100,000th visitor!  So thank you, my readers!  I wouldn’t have any subscribers or visitors without you!

If you have no idea what subscribing is, it’s an easy way to read Being Frugal without having to hunt down my site every day.  If you subscribe by RSS, you can have Being Frugal delivered right to your feed reader.  I use Google Reader, myself.  It’s free and easy to use.  If you don’t know what RSS is, I just wrote about it on my other blog, so check it out.  It really does make life easier if you read a lot of blogs!

Also, I was interviewed at My Two Dollars on Wednesday! I had never been interviewed by a fellow personal finance blogger before, so that was pretty exciting for me!
