The (Real) Truth About Love’s Cost

I was alerted today via another blog about an article on MSN called "The (Real) Cost Of Love". I realized after reading it why there was no place to comment on this article. It was one of the most sexist things I've seen lately and I'm sure the women reading...

Momma Needs A New Set Of Wheels: Part 1

Two years ago, right before I was about to move to a place with no mass transit, I hit my car into a moose. I survived with no injuries but my car sacrificed itself completely. I loved that car. So I had about two weeks to research cars and buy a car before my move in...

Momma Needs A New Set Of Wheels

Two years ago, right before I was about to move to a place with no mass transit, I hit my car into a moose. I survived with no injuries but my car sacrificed itself completely. It was totalled; I had one scratch. I loved that car.

Entertainment Is A Click Away

Looking for a way to hear new music but can't afford satellite radio? I've got the perfect solution. Pandora (the Music Genome Project) is a great web site where you put in a favorite song or artist and then Pandora "suggests" other artists/songs like the...

How To Throw A Party With $50

I've been really hankering to have a party lately. I don't know if it's because Halloween and other holidays are coming up or because I haven't thrown one since moving here (and it's been about three months) but it seems to be the time to invite people over and be the...

I kicked myself all the way home, thinking I had went too far in the wrong direction but it ended up being a very interesting movie that made me want to order a copy of all my credit reports finally. Apparently the average consumer has lots of errors in their credit report and since I’ve never checked mine, I figure now is the time to find any errors and start disputing them.

When You Have To Pat Yourself On The Back

What I wanted to do tonight: Order out some Chinese dumplings for dinner and buy a new glossy magazine to flip through. Total theoretical cost: $10

What I did do: Ate leftovers and downloaded a free TV show on iTunes. (This feed let’s you know what free downloads are available from iTunes. Very handy.) Total actual cost: $3

Once a month, in an effort to save funds, I like to not go to the grocery store for a week and really clean out the fridge and pantry. The results are usually bizarre and can result in small portions of random dishes. I find though that I waste less food this way as I find, for example, some corn that has migrated its way to the back of the fridge or a can of beans I forgot I had.
