In trying to save money (mortgage rates are on the rise!), the Cheese and I have been making dinner at home and watching movies. It's not as bad as it sounds: this week, we watched "UHF" and "Who Killed The Electric Car?". I'd never seen UHF before, which begs the question, "Why not?!?" Oh, to run my own TV station.

I highly recommend "Who Killed The Electric Car?". It got me all fired up. How dare those big oil fat cats ruin EVERYTHING once again. Not to mention our president, the auto makers, and YOU, the consumer. Take your Hummer and shove it up your big American ass.

Chris made his pesto chicken pizza again this week. I'm glad I married a man who can cook. Nothing is sexier than a man using a food processor. Well, that's probably not true. But that's my story, and I'll stick with it.

These mortgage rates, which are up, have really got me down. No more mortgage dance, a la that crazy pop-up ad, for a long, long while.
