$$: Errands

By Suburban Wife | Published: December 29, 2009
Another day in sub­ur­bia; another day of dri­ving around on errands. I started with a 3-hour Project Ses­sion at the Apple Store.  Look­ing back over my pur­chases these past few years, the $99 I paid for an annual One-To-One mem­ber­ship is by far and away some of the smartest money I’ve spent.  This is my third [...]

These bat­tery packs [...]

Day 199: More Electronics

By Suburban Wife | Published: March 18, 2008
Why is noth­ing ever sim­ple?  And why are there times in my life when I seem to leak money from every pore? The prob­lem with being a gadget-hound is that new gad­gets open the wal­let flood­gates.  It’s never a sim­ple mat­ter of buy­ing a new gad­get.  No.  There are always new wires, new cables, new adapters, and [...]
