I made a somewhat unexpected discovery last night: one of the radio stations near me has begun playing Christmas music. Not just the occasional song or interesting hymn, mind you, but a constant, non-stop barrage of songs. In the short time I was listening, I heard holiday songs I’ve never even heard mentioned before. Seriously, am I the only person who never heard Dominick the Donkey before?
Now don’t get me wrong, I like Christmas music as much as the next festive minded Christian, but there’s a time and place for everything. If you can’t wait until after Thanksgiving to unleash the full force of Christmas songs, I think there’s something wrong with the world. To make things worse, I believe this same station was just asking people to go online to tell them when to begin playing Christmas songs. Which means there is at least a slim majority of their listeners (or the portion of their listeners willing to express their opinions online) who WANTED Christmas music 24/7 to start in the middle of November. I’m a little horrified at the thought.
Alright, enough of my yammering about Christmas music; it’s time to get down to the nitty gritty of net worth.
Not a terribly pretty picture; some Christmas spending (yes, even though I complain about Christmas music, I’ll still shop for Christmas presents whenever I can) and paying of various bills ate up quite a lot of my reserves, and without a regular salary, it’s been a rough weekly. Hopefully, next week will be more fruitful and productive.

Good work Rog! You should e-mail the guy from Suburban Dollar and get listed on his Net Worth Bloggers list.
I e-mailed him but he never e-mailed back, but ti’s worth a shot!

I’ll have to try that, FS; there’s just so many bloggers running so many lists that it’s hard to keep track of all of them sometimes.
