My fellow Americans, I don’t know about you, but I am a bit tired of hearing people say that, if they were president, they could fix the budget woes in a year or two. They would only need to cut taxes here or add a program over there. How we all wish it was so simple. The fact is that the US budget is much more complex. I've put together a small guide to the current state of the US finances. This is for my reference as well as for anyone else who is interested. ...

The succeeding weeks came out fine, and I was trotting along the lessons with a fair amount of ease, not that these lessons were easy. It was just that ...
My man and I spoke about getting engaged for months, but now that it has happened it feels so surreal. I think I am still a little surprised that he actually chose me to be the one I have always been very conscious of the fact that I am a useless housewife ( I don't cook and I get tired of trying to keep the house tidy, so I give up) and I often feel like I am not the best step-mommy to his children.
