Looking forward to this week!

I’m pretty excited about my upcoming week here on SimplyForties. Not dancing in the streets excited, but pretty excited. Here’s what’s coming up –

Monday I’m hosting the Carnival of Personal Development. This is a very diverse carnival with topics including personal development (no surprise), finance and health. I got a lot of entries, about 65 of which will be included in the carnival.

Tuesday I’m hosting a guest post from Living Almost Large on creating what she calls a “loose budget”. If you’re having trouble creating and/or living with a restrictive budget, this may be the approach for you!

Wednesday I’m trying something new. Green Panda Treehouse and I are posting collaborative concurrent articles on creating and using a price book. It’s a fun idea that I hope to repeat with some of my other blogging “friends”.

Thursday I’ll have a guest post up at My Supercharged Life on having a giving spirit. Here at SimplyForties I'll have my weekly link roundup. I’ve already got a lot of good links and will continue to add more throughout the week.

For Friday I “pie-charted” my budget a la Blogging For Change. It was an interesting project and taught me some things about my budget that all my Excel spreadsheets hadn’t.

Saturday is still up for grabs!

That fact that I already know what’s going on all week is probably the most exciting part of all. Stick with me, it’s going to be a good week!
