So, it’s a new year already. Wow, 2008 went by fast.

My main resolution this year is to stop biting my nails. I have a feeling I will be most successful with this after school is finished. Then, for my goals and projects I want: to get all my financial papers in order, so that if I am hit by a bus, Eddy knows where to send the loan payments, to get Jonah enrolled in the international school for next year and, oh yeah, find a job.

Little things like that.

Yesterday was my birthday, which I am only mentioning in the context of the story I’m going to tell you, not to have you send me bagloads of money as a birthday present. (Although that would be nice too, of course!) But it was a day of firsts in many ways, all internet related.

(The first thing Owen said when he came downstairs this morning was “Mama, your cake was super yummy!”)

For the firsts…

1. Almost Frugal reached 998 subscribers to the RSS feed!
2. Almost Frugal Food broke the 200 barrier, and is at 202 subscribers.
3. Almost Frugal had more than 1000 visitors yesterday- the most visitors ever.
4. I finally earned more than $1 from my Google Ads… $4.02 to be exact.
5. Jean Pierre and Françoise sent me birthday greetings by email!

So, all in all, a pretty exciting day. Today I don’t have any classes, but I am going to be writing my branding paper all day. I need to get it finished so that this weekend I can write my Product Life Cycle paper. Ah, the exciting and glamorous life of a student…
