When you have an unpleasant job, an overbearing boss, too little time, too much credit card debt, not enough savings, and a mortgage you can’t afford, life is tougher (read: sucks big time). Now, I’m speaking to all the people out there who are in this situation and need to understand that […]

My Hero Is Lloyd Dobler
It has to be one of the best movies ever…for those of you who have never seen ‘Say Anything’, drop your bologna sandwich and go rent it. Lloyd Dobler is the quintessential good guy and I can’t think of a single woman who has seen the movie and NOT fallen in love with him. Most […]
