I don't usually read the blogs during the week, so it's possible sevenofseven, nomorecredit and/or swimgirl turned on the heat while I wasn't looking, but here, according to my best record-keeping records, are the remaining 3 finalists who still have not turned on the heat:

I've seen other people posting their 2009 goals. I thought about mine, the financial ones, that is, and they pretty much will be what my 2008 financial goals were:
1. Continue paying down my mortgage rapidly.
2. Continue building my emergency fund.

I will also continue contributing the max to my 401k, but that's a given. I'd also like to throw more money into investments since prices are so low, but building the emergency fund in case of layoff is the priority right now.
