DH and I are going to Playa Del Carmen for our anniversary! I don't have much vacation time at the new job, so we are taking advantage of Columbus Day weekend. I added my 2 personal days to the holiday, so we'll be gone for 5 days. We were lucky enough

DH will never lack for a job. He has so many back-up plans, it’s almost comical. He has a real estate license, and an armed guard license. He also installs cameras and does computer work for side money. A few months ago, he did a huge camera job for a

I was not a happy girl this weekend. For the past two years, DH has mentioned wanting to invite his co-worker to the house for a barbeque. He’s never done anything about it, until this past weekend. He came home Wednesday and said "I finally organized

I’m not trying to shift the blame here, but I think part of the reason I spend money is because of where my office is located. I have three malls, a Target and a Walmart all within a four block radius of my office. I hate spending lunch hours at my desk,
