Why is Devon writing The Green Notebook?

Two reasons. Mostly. I have a blog--The Yellow Notebook--but have noticed that blogs with specific goals seem to shine. So I decided that I would blog about the next two-and-a-half years as we work REALLY hard at squeezing my husband through nursing school while randomly making money, consistently saving ourselves money, raising small children, writing a novel, dealing with the current economy, trusting God and deepening our friendships, et al. Watch the balancing act! Also, my friends have been complaining that blogs tend to be, well... life edited. So I am going to try NOT to edit out the things that make us a real family with real financial and other struggles. And in this ring...

By the way, I have not named my children "Boy" and "Girl." I just like to refer to them that way on the blog. I also refer to my nephew as "Baby."

And here is my tagline:
What economy? Or Diary of a Young, Urbanite, Apolitical, Lower-Income, Middle-Class, Writer, Foodie, Artist, Stay-at-Home Mom.

Slow-Going

I have not been able to type for the last few weeks, due to what was probably a finger sprain. My left hand was immobilized in a splint, and apparently I do not have the patience for one-hand typing which--like many things one-handed--does not take twice as long as normal, but is instead compounded several times. It took me many visits to the computer just to get the Hogwarts post up, and that because I really wanted to post the pics. But I am back to normal function of the left hand, as long as I don't lift anything too heavy or snap my fingers. I guess I'll be slowing down on moving furniture and doing yoga for the holidays. But now, as you can see, I can return to a normal blogging schedule of three times a week. Sure you are dying to hear me pontificate on poverty and see my crafty Christmas decorations...

Right now, I have more important things to do.
