It’s embarrassing to admit, but I’ve recently flirted with the idea of hand washing clothes to save money.* A couple days ago, while chatting online with my friend, Gus, I asked him if using a hand operated washer to clean my laundry is a good idea. He simply replied, “You’re going too far.” Yes. There’s a [...]

The Housewives’ lives are plagued with entertaining ridiculosity when the cameras are rolling and when they’re not. The show is just too good. In 2006, when The Real Housewives [...]
I’m not one for fixing things. If I snag a sweater or tear a hole in a pair of jeans, I don’t repair them. I keep right on rocking my raggedy stuff until the imperfections are noticeable to others.
