We wondered like everyone else...is that Switch? Nope...after looking on the back-cover of the album. It was Bobby and Tommy DeBarge's younger siblings. We listened over and over again until we all knew the words and could sing along. Not noticing the time...it was two hours later and past my curfew. Needless to say, the week on punishment was well worth it. I sang, "I Like It," ...
Remember the 70's TV show The Bionic Woman? I use to love that show. Watching a smart, savvy and strong woman take on the bad guys and win was awesome.

Do you need extra money? Could you use a little spring cleaning around the house? How about having a garage sale? A few weeks ago, I got together with some friends and we had a huge garage sale.

Filing taxes can be complicated enough, but it can be even tougher if your life is up in the air or if you’re going through a life transition. So, we turned to financial experts Ginita Wall and Candace Bahr of the Women’s Institute for Financial Education (Wife.org) for their tips to save your sanity and get you what you deserve:

When we whip out the plastic, our mind goes numb; we don’t process the transaction the same visceral way we do when we spend cash.

In fact, some experts say people spend 15% to 30% more when using credit instead of cash. Spending actual cash forces you to think about every dollar you spend, so you experience a physical reaction to forking over $1s and $5s.
