Sara's Musings

We joined the Best Buy/Rhapsody music service a couple of weeks ago. It’s great to be able to listen to music which I wouldn’t necessarily buy at the cd store.  I can choose an artist and find similar music to see what I like. Right now, I’m listening to N.E.R.D. – the baby really gets […]

Went to the dreaded laundromat this afternoon – a 2.5 hour ordeal that I’ll probably have to repeat at least twice before the new washer arrives. 3 loads of laundry – $9 to wash, $2.25 to dry – that’s going to add up over the next couple of weeks. Unless Steve fixes the old washer […]
