Does it happen to you?? Your shopping cart is loaded — absolutely stuffed sky high — with gifts and groceries… you check out after waiting in line for 45 minutes… cram everything into your car and sit in the driver’s seat with a sigh of relief…. and THEN it hits you. OH MY WORD I [...]

You know the type. The kind of person– high strung, plagued by restless leg syndrome, always tapping their fingers or babbling on about the dozen or so big project they are working on— who cannot relax. Um, that’s me. *blush* I never dreamed I’d turn out to be a workaholic, but here I am. I’ve [...]

Unless you made your millions while in your 20s, or inherited a house after leaving home, you know that apartment hunting is miserable. I don’t know anyone who likes it.
