Atypical Virtual Associates

You’re not going to believe this, but I swear it’s true.
We are opening a little savings account to save up for a big ol’ television.
I’m so tired of our huge, heavy 32″ TV! It’s pathetic. I want a new, big LCD or Plasma screen TV. But, as you all know, I refuse to use credit [...]

I’ve been thinking about purchasing a new computer.
The thing that keeps holding me back is this: I see an amazing sale, and I want the computer, but then when I buy the computer it has a video card that’s only good for one monitor by default. If I open the box to replace it I [...]

I know I’m not alone in my love of the shiny gadgets. When I see a sale on gadgets I get all fluttery in the tummy and need to see how good the deals are or I’ll be thinking about nothing else the rest of my shopping trip.

It has gotten a little out of control around here.
From all the things I keep in the office so the kids don’t get them straight through to the turtle happily living in his huge 55-gallon tank…it’s cluttered, it’s messy, and it’s a bit overwhelming in the place I try to do all my work in.

Now that summer is ending, I find that I want to have more food in the house. Who wants to go out shopping when snow is falling and wind chills fall below zero? Not me!
The issue that rears its ugly head is the snacks. Oh the joy and wonder of tasty winter snacks that [...]

One of the things I think would be really fun to do is shop for cruises. Do people take cruises in winter? I’m sure they do, because you have to fly down to Miami and is it ever really cold down there….I think not!
But this plan is for next winter. This winter we are [...]
