The Cost of Being Glamorous.
Poor me, I’m one of those sad ladies you see looking through boutique shop windows wanting to buy all the clothes and shoes (and winter coats) that my heart desires.
Alas, my bank account often screams to me from the hole in the wall on the other side of the road – don’t you bloody dare.
Fortunately I have some degree of self control and therefore end up spending my dosh on food – and that’s not doing much for my thighs!
Please tell me I am not the only one who refuses to spend money on what I cant afford.

Since this is my first post, I wanted to explain what made me want to create this blog. My grandfather recently passed away and was buried in Israel, alongside my grandmother. While my parents flew to Israel for the burial, I was not able to be there (flying from New York to Israel is expensive).Musicians crank up the volume on Guantanamo debate
WASHINGTON — A coalition of mega-bands and singers outraged that music — including theirs — was cranked up to help break uncooperative detainees at Guantanamo Bay is joining retired military officers and liberal activists to rally support for President Barack Obama's push to shutter the Navy-run prison for terrorist suspects in Cuba.

The federal budget deficit tripled to a record $1.4 trillion for the 2009 fiscal year
By ANDREW TAYLOR, Associated Press Writer Andrew Taylor, Associated Press Writer – Wed Oct 7, 7:02 pm ET WASHINGTON – The federal budget deficit tripled to a record $1.4 trillion for the 2009 fiscal year that ended last week, congressional analysts said Wednesday.
