Holiday Gift Guide: Personalize the HTC Wildfire To Suit You [Giveaway]

My husband and I were talking about our first couple of cell phones. Back in the day…I might as well refer to this time as the “Wilderness Years.” We purchased our first cell phone in 1995. Note, that I said “we”…that’s right for about 3 years my husband and I shared the phone. This...

I’m a Hot Mess

Crossing Stuff Off the Holiday List Is So Much Fun with @Zaarly

I’m the worst person to buy for. I buy few clothes for myself as my tastes and specifications are very limited. I can search racks and racks at a clothing store and find only one or maybe two items that I can tolerate. I don’t play video games. I don’t listen to music on...
