08 July 2009  House and Home  Remember me? My apologies to those
of you who have faithfully checked up on me these last few
weeks. I've fallen into the habit of falling asleep on the couch
while watching Alfred Hitchcock or reruns of Law &
Order...lame... Anyway, while I see nothing wrong with any of us
taking a much needed break from time to time, a word of "check
back later" might have been in order on my part. Tonight Mrs. G.
casually said "I can't believe you've given up on your readers".
Ouch. I'll try to get back on the stick, and I thank each of you
who have been checking in despite my absence.  Part of the
reason for my dropping off the face of the Earth was this:
without a job or school to attend, I find myself slipping into a
uniform of khakis and tennis shirt, the perfect playground
attire. As such I haven't been picking up many thrifty clothes
lately. But clothes aren't the only things to be found cheap.
