I received some wonderful news today - my former boss was promoted to a position that he has worked long and hard to achieve. It's a big milestone for him, and will do wonderful things for the organization. Although I had an inkling that this was coming, I was surprised at the onslaught of emotions that hit when I read the message. It was almost like one of those "life flashing before your eyes" moments, but without the pesky near-death experience. In a flash, I remembered the stress from that job and commute, imagined how crazy ...

Simple Living or Else goat-free intentions, goat-free simplicity, simplicity | (2)
Last week, Leo at Zen Habits wrote about the Simple Living Manifesto. The basic premise is that you figure out what is important in life, and everything else can screw off. I'm a big believer in this theory, and I do my best to evaluate situations within this criteria. It not only serves to keep us on track, but it keeps me mentally and spiritually balanced. It's really no secret that Mer and I have a somewhat chaotic lifestyle. We both work full-time, we're students, we run four blogs, and we have a small side business. Every ...

But what can a blond college dropout with superpowers teach us about frugality and simplicity? From southern Florida we go to southern California just in time for... well, you know. 1. Question the dominant paradigm. Sunnydale was a lovely suburban town in southern California (with the unfortunate luck of being positioned right over a ...

When the fall semester begins on September 5, our lives will become a bit more...interesting, as Mer joins me at school and we become a two-student household. This weekend marks the start of preparations for this change, and in addition to adjusting our daily schedules, we're adjusting our posting frequency here. Our goal with this new schedule is to provide quality content in line with the frugality and simplicity that Living Behind the Curve was founded on, without losing the quirkiness that the site has developed since its inception.

Every Thursday is Goat-Free Simplicity day at Living Behind the Curve. Do you remember learning how to write in school? You probably don't, since it didn't exactly happen in one day. For the first six or seven years, you're locked in mortal combat with the English language, fighting to cram more and more meaning and information into your writing. You start out seeing Jane run, then Jane starts running quickly towards a pretty blue flower, and finally Jane rushes to try to stop Dick from picking a flower, because she doesn't want to see such a beautiful thing die.
