I'm Back - Kind of

Okay - that was bad netiquette to drop off the face of the earth without posting anything saying that I was going away.

I hope no one was worried.

I didn't disappear - but I was clearly a victim of the holiday season. Like a whirlwind it swept me away and occupied my every moment - Then I went back to Texas for a couple of weeks.

So now you know that I'm dead broke since I just got back from a two and a half week jaunt to the States and of course it was Christmas and I am guilty of what everyone else is guilty of this year - overindulgence.

So aside from running and sitting on committees, publishing my little newsletter articles, keeping up with my online classes, chasing (or being chased by) four kids and trying to keep my sanity - this blog has fallen behind - But my intent is still the same - to pass on secrets to living on the cheap.

In the coming weeks I'm going to stick very close to the moniker "Thrifty Expat". After all this excess, the wife and I have decided to live very modestly here in Warsaw for a month. Not to the extreme that other popular bloggers have done where they vow to live on $5 a day - or something like that - But we do plan to make extreme cutbacks for a month/plus and see how we keep our sanity. Stay tuned for that.

In the mean time - Stay well - and stay Cheap - and thanks for checking in.
