A new leaf

Posted on October 2, 2012 by wonkydonkey

This is my last week being 39. A whole new decade awaits me and I, for one, am excited. I have big plans for my 40s. We’ll be empty-nesters (fingers crossed), we will finish paying off our debt (except the … Continue reading →

Hooray for free food!

Posted on September 28, 2012 by wonkydonkey

As my birthday draws near, my email is beginning to fill up with offers for free celebratory food. I don’t use them all, but there are some I never pass up (like the Keg). You can’t see it on the … Continue reading →

Weekend highs

Posted on September 23, 2012 by wonkydonkey
