I swear, I get sooo frustrated dealing with my husband sometimes!! I stay at home all day M-F taking care of our son and dog, doing the cooking, cleaning, etc. So we have a deal that on weekends, my husband has to take over some of the chores. Specificially, he has to take care of [...]
When I bought my computer three years ago, I just wanted something that I could use to surf the ‘net. I wasn’t working from home at that time, so I figured I didn’t need much of a machine. In other words, I went the cheap route and ended up paying less than $400 for everything. [...]

In case you’ve never heard of it, The Weiner’s Circle is a little hot dog/hamburger stand that is a favorite among drunks and other night owls in the Lincoln [...]
