Happy Friday and Some Link Love!

link love

Another week of April officially in the books. Anyone else notice that time seems to be flying by at warp speed? 🙂 Glad it’s Friday, though!

I’ve noticed some other bloggers who list the random search terms that brought people to their blogs, and I thought I’d join the party!

Search terms that brought people to The Random Path:

Candy Credit Cards: Do they come in watermelon flavor?

How to start the things I wish I could tell you: Um, maybe not so much verbiage…

Funny lunch detention stories: Yup, I have those!

Wish if I can be 5 years old: Life was definitely easier at that age!

My sister took my ex-wife’s side: Whoa…I’m not even going to touch that one!

A wedding dress that doesn’t break the bank: They are out there; mine only cost $100 🙂

I’ve also been reading blogs, yo…

Posts I got a kick out of this week:

Kim over at Eyes on the Dollar asks Is Living in a Small Town Better? It’s interesting how one’s perspective changes once you are a parent.

As a fellow SoCal blogger, I loved Tonya’s post at Budget and the Beach, about living on our side of the country. Check out How to Afford L.A. My Perspective.

This post was just all kinds of awesomeness, seriously! I loved Brian at Luke 1428’s take on marriage and finances with his post Two Shall Become One: A Case For Financial Togetherness.

Average Joe at The Free Financial Advisor talks about bad financial advice in his post Bad Advice? Here’s Some From Top Money Gurus. And yes, he mentions the lady who likes to scream at people “DE-NIED!!!!”

Money, time, relationships, and the concept of living life to the fullest, were the topics of two really great posts! Check out Canadian Budget Binder’s Life, Money, and Retirement-Skype Doesn’t Reach Heaven and Monster Piggy Bank’s Time is Money: What Are You Sacrificing For Money?

Have a great weekend everyone!

Those searches are hilarious!! Mine are mostly for a race that I did, though “something on my face” was the funniest one I’ve seen. Have a great weekend! 🙂

We SoCal bloggers have to stick together, right!! I must not be doing something right because I never get fun search terms. Someday. Sure, others want big advertisers and lots of traffic. I want people to find me using usual search terms. I may need to rethink my strategy. 🙂 Have a great weekend, Mackenzie! Enjoy the beautiful weather!!

  Yup, us SoCalers have to stick together!
  
  These search terms are so funny to me because people actually typed them in! That’s what gets me 🙂 Have a great weekend Shannon, it’s definitely going to be great weather out there!

I’ve noticed time moving along very rapidly as well. Can’t believe the kids school year will be done soon. Appreciate the link love. Have a great weekend.

I’d like a Vanilla credit card, especially if it has bonus points! Thanks for including me.
