Thinking Outside The Container

Dry Cleaner be gone!!!

Having recently moved to NYC and finding myself STILL unemployed - I found it necessary to bid adieu to my expensive dry cleaning habits. Back in Vegas, taking 3 dresses, 5 shirts, 4 slacks and two alterations to my neighborhood cleaner would have cost me around 60.00. New York? I brought 2 dresses and a skirt to a cleaner who shall remain nameless (pick one) and paid $72.00 for the 3 items. When I received the bill, the only that prevented me from soiling myself is the slacks I had on were also Dry Clean Only.

Frugal friends rejoice! I did my homework and after much deliberation, made the decision to purchase the portable McCulloch home garment steamer. Its a fabulous little machine that comes in a a fun yellow and includes a nifty extend-able hanger rod and has casters for easy mobility.

I had used Conair steamers in the past which were OK - but this bad boy had 3 dresses, a blouse, a sweater and a pair of slacks steamed and fresh as can be faster than a dry cleaner can say "That'll be $72.00". The best part? It only costs $44.00 and shipping is free. Now we know why they call it "Taking me to the cleaners!"

Get yours here

Read This. Drink that.

Few things are more pleasurable than curling up on the sofa with a cup of tea or cocoa on a cold and rainy day with a really good book. Doing so with a friend or sweetheart can especially be rewarding if he or she is also reading as you can share with one another. This "sharing" is usually preceded by a few chuckles and smirks, an exaggerated "OH. MY. GOD.! I have to read you this!!" and then loudly citing a random paragraph which is undoubtedly met with a blank stare.

By the third or fourth time this happens your comrade rises from his or her once comfortable position and retreats to either the computer or down for a nap, claiming they don't feel like reading and then telling you that they are finding it difficult to focus.


Perhaps they should have picked a more enticing peice of lit. Here's a good place to start:

Incidentally, the "cocoa" and "tea" to which I refer can be found at the link below. If the most intoxicating perfume in the world could be inhaled and immeditately ingested - this would, IMO, definitely be it. Pairs well with teaching your chickens to fly or escaping those ominous Ruskies.
