Tip of the Day- Take a Commercial Break
10 Feb 2007 09:29 AM

Tip of the Day- Take the Stairs
08 Feb 2007 09:36 AM
If you were to visit my home you'd notice something. Well, something other than the total disarray and the dishes in the sink. I make little piles of things on the stairs of my home. Little piles of things to go up the next time I have to go up.
