I live in San Francisco, which pretty much automatically makes me pay too much rent (and for what? I'm constantly asking myself), but even for my little neighborhood, I pay waaaay too much rent. Bu...
I always clean what I can so there's less to do later on. And if there's more time after that, I play Mah-Jong on my iPhone. That stuff is totally addictive. Water has never boiled faster while pla...
I love the value of the rotisserie chicken from Costco. It's so delicious and juicy! The first night I have one, I have a nice chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and carrots or green beans. I put ...
