I have an idea - let's spend money so we can spend MORE MONEY!

I am impatient and stubborn - what are you?

I'm so glad I have an understanding bf - cramps and going to the bar do not

mix well. Last night our friends wanted us to go out, but not till 11. By 11, I wanted to have on sweatpants, snuggle up and throw in a movie. I definitely got what I wanted.

My Every-day Survival Kit - Well, OK, Mondays and Tuesdays, non-exclusively

Sometimes I just feel like crawling into a hole, or a warm, comfy bed, before, during AND after work. Here are a few things I do or consider doing to make myself feel better... 6. Eat Dinner.

Realtors Are All Over Me Like White Spots on Dominoes... Or Pepperoni on

the other kind of Domino's.... mmmm...! I decided to do a little research while the mortgage rates are low....

But since I have been planning on this since the dawn of time... since the first time I thought about it... well, at least... Sign in to see full entry.
