Fire Your Cable TV
This summer, we were fed up with the expense and unreliable service of our cable TV provider. I’d read good things about Roku, so my husband & I bought the mid-range Roku box (about $80). It’s available at Amazon.com, Best Buy, Walmart, etc. Within hours of connecting it to our Internet service and our TV [...]
Those Big Zero Days
There’s something about birthdays ending in zeros. It’s like every second one seems to have a real ouch to it. Yesterday’s birthday was one of them.

After watching Matt Cutts’ TED talk about doing things for 30 days, HT (my wonderful husband) and I have decided to try this, as well. Watch this video on YouTube. I tend to be very organized… hyper-organized, in fact. So, I decided to start my 30 days on the first of the month. (When it’s [...]
