Uh Oh – My Water Broke!

Yesterday was Tuesday. But it might as well have been a Monday. The morning was just so chock full of the opposite of win. When I finally made it home after a long day, I had a nice dinner with the family and finally made it upstairs to my home office to start working on some freelance writing. I got about 30 minutes into it when I suddenly heard the house alarm go off. It …

Win a Star Wars Japan Missy Cut V-Neck Top from Her Universe (Ends 1/23)

Women have been fighting a battle of equality for decades now. They’ve been mocked. Shunned. And all-around bullied just for wearing their hearts on their sleeve. Or rather, on their T-shirts.

2012 Could’ve Been Worse (and Better)

Well, we’re down to less than 12 hours left in 2012. It’s been a bit of a rocky year over here. Some good. Some bad. And lots of meh. On the negative side, we’ve cut back family expenses a lot and I’ve been aggressively looking for a full-time permanent job. I’ve had a few interviews but no offers yet. I had to let my entire on-site staff go on my social shopping site JoeShopping.com, as we did …
