Hey Boys and Girls! Let's Play Dress-Up!

Yesterday, I learned of Mad Men Yourself!

Magazine budget tips make me mad.

Been looking at my budget books for 2007, trying to find places to save.  Apologize that this isn't better written.

1. Laundry. I have no laundry facilities where I rent. I have laundry down to a science. I have to load/bungee cord my laundry into a little wheelie cart every week… Read full post »
