I don't think it's very Diamond Shoes to be like "I looked forward to family vacation in a really lovely place, and then stressful shit kept happening and vacation was not as restful and restorative as I hoped it would be." That sucks to have a trip you were looking forward to go all pear-shaped.

I agree that personal finance classes would be a great addition to the high school curriculum.

Happy Birthday, Debet!

I'm headed to a family wedding today which involves a full Catholic mass, and even my very Catholic aunt and uncle (who are staying at Mom's with me) are joking about ways we could skip the ceremony and just go to the reception. I will not burst into flames. I will not burst into flames. I will not burst into flames.

Ha, Kristin. Just, you know, bring some bottled water, and if you see smoke...

That sucks to have a trip you were looking forward to go all pear-shaped.

Meant to fourth or fifth or whatever this, Jess.

Definite drag, Jess.

Dylan took Personal Finance his senior year but unfortunately the teacher was completely checked out and so he didn't get much out of it. (He basically told them to pretend to invest an imaginary $1000 in the first week and track how their choices performed, and then didn't do anything else the entire semester.)

Happy day to DebetEsse!

Happy Birthday, Debet!
