How I did it
It made me
Empowered 
How I did it: Quite simple. I chose a credit union whose only requirement to join was living in the county where I do. I deposited a check form my savings, then I had to wait a week until I could start paying bills from the account. To avoid being charged a monthly fee, all I had to do was sign up for my statements via e-mail. How great is that? (The Big Bad Bank had so many hoops to jump through to avoid a fee, it would make yo… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I'm in a book club, so that gave me quite a few book ideas for this year. Also, I started reading the Game of Thrones series, I've read the first two of them so far. For the other books, I just read a variety of things that caught my fancy. Read how I did it…

- The Boy called me and we had a long conversation about his major at college. He’s not that thrilled with his major at this point, and says that the classes don’t interest him very much. I’m glad that he feels comfortable enough about this to talk to me, but he’s talking about changing his major from Biomedical Health Sciences to Art…..we’re driving up to have lunch and a more extended chat about this on Friday.
- Watching my dog responding to her primitive extincts. Yesterday morning when I let her out, unknown to me, there was a large mule deer in the yard, and watching her chase the deer out of the yard was really impressive. I was worried she might jump the fence while chasing off the “intruder” but as soon as the deer jumped our fence, she considered that her job was accomplished.
- Had a good time at my book club meeting. As always.
Ninth book in Carr’s Virgin River series. I really enjoyed this one, another romance set in rural Northern California. I’d packed up a bunch of my books and moved them, glad to finally have found this in the boxes!
