December Link Love, Side Hustle Money, and Happy New Year’s Eve!

I’m taking a SHORT break from using technology.  I use the computer every day at work and for blogging. I am exhausted. I won’t be tweeting, on Facebook, or answering emails for the next day.  All blog comments will “Go Live” on January 1, 2014

Nope, I don’t have plans for tonight and I’m totally fine with that. I can’t go shopping for a new dress and I’m really tired and just want to chill out this year. If you have plans this evening have a wonderful time, be safe, and no drinking and driving. Use a Taxi/UBER/ or Car Pool.
