Quick note to say that I’ve been working hard and really kind of offline until this weekend. I’ve wanted to download pictures from 4th of July, but I haven’t had any time. Worked all weekend. Don’t have time to check…
Money Monday: AirBnB
I feel like I write about AirBnB a lot. Another reminder that it’s pretty friggin awesome. To me AirBnB is easier than Vrbo.com because you can transact everything online versus Vrbo.com where you have to contact the owner, talk or…
Happily Solo
I’m ecstatic that Dean’s away this weekend for a bachelor party. I wish he would go away more. We are around each other 24/7. Except for the 8 hours I’m away at work, we are always within yelling distance of…
