Getting Fit

So I've thought long and hard about this whole car issue, even though I haven't been writing about it. The Honda Fit hatchback seems to be a good fit for my situation. It's one of the cheapest cars to own over five years (all expenses included, like insurance). As far...

End Of The Year Tax Tips

Like most people in our great country, I thought that I make so little money that it didn't really matter whether I would itemize my deductions for tax time ('tis the season for charitable contributions after all). Apparently it does matter. If you own property or a...

A New Idea For A Yankee Swap

I was reading in a magazine today about hosting a Yankee Swap where people had to bring in something that was already in their house. I thought this was a fabulous idea because I think everyone has at least a few things they could easily part with and no one enjoys buying some cheap under $10 to bring to a company party.

Getting Ready for Winter

A couple of years ago, my friend Ally and I volunteered (via our jobs) for the Keep ME Warm campaign. The idea was that the program provided window insulation kits, outlet insulation kits, caulking, foam tubes to put around pipes, and wool blankets to needy families...

I Heart My Clothes

Those who know me know I am a clothes horse. I love clothes. Not just any clothes, nice clothes. (This picture is from an 80s party but clearly, even for themed events, I take dressing serioulsy). I like cashmere sweaters, dry clean only pants, and designer...

The Party Aftermath

I held the infamous party I blogged about this Saturday. I spent $51 on food and I have leftovers. For future reference, pumpkins have a lot of seeds and toasting them is an excellent party snack. I brought some left over seeds into work and you would have thought I...
