An excerpt:
Women are typically the givers of the world: they are always putting others before themselves, nurturing their families, and sacrificing for others. Suze is NOT suggesting women replace “nurturer with narcissist.” She says, “I simply want you to give TO yourself as much as you give OF yourself. By taking care of yourself financially, you will truly be able to take care of those you love.” She asks why women don’t show their money the same attention they show every other relationship in their lives and claims it is because women have a dysfunctional relationship with money.Women & Money: A Review of Suze Orman’s 8th Book « Geezeo, Apr 2009
You should read the whole article.

also known as, “How to Hate Life in the Morning!”
1. Begin drinking at 5 pm, or whenever Happy Hour may start at the bar you’re at (note: you have to be at a bar for this to work). Try to find the earliest available time. Start off with beer! Don’t believe that silly little rhyme…Only pussies get sicker after liquor.
2. Be sure to continue drinking for the next 6 hours, without taking any breaks. Don’t eat any food, it will only delay the process. If you feel sleepy, have a Jager-Bomb! Plenty of nutrients in the Red Bull.
3. Change up the scene! Spice it up by going to a different bar, or if you’re trying to save money, drink at home, but go out again. Just don’t drive! A drunken stumblr to the bar is best. Be sure to mingle with people who’s opinions matter to you, for you’re sure to be shitfaced by now and near blacking out.
4. Start texting! Make sure you text everyone and don’t spell anything correctly. If you notice you’re not making any errors, have another drink! It’s only a sign you’re not quite intoxicated enough.
5. Forgive people whom you may or may not be ready to forgive! For example, the girl who fucked your ex-boyfriend, resulting in your relationships complete and utter demise. Extra points since it’s his birthday!
6. Make sure you coerce a friend into driving to the bar that you live half a mile from into driving there to pick you up, and take you home. By this point you should be blacked out! Be sure to walk out on any tab you may have going!
7. Walk inside your house. Pass out instantly on your bed, only to wake up 4 hours later.
8. Once awake, immediately peruse your in/outbox of text messages so that you can see all the asshole things you said to people, and so that you can somewhat piece together the night before.
9. It may be possible that you cannot get back to sleep, so go for a jog! Who cares if it’s 4, 5 or 6 AM? People do it all the time! If you’re lucky, you’ll hallucinate!
10. Once breathing and consciousness becomes an issue come home, clean up a bit, and get into bed. Re-read the text messages from the night before. Life-hating should start riiiiiight abbbouuuut…. now.
Hellaciously funny (and accurate!) :-(
Use your head (and great software)
See Carnaval in Brazil
Marrying three favorites of mine: Portuguese, dancing and partying.
Cross-Country Road Trip
I would like to see this great country of ours at a slow pace, with no agenda but to enjoy it as much as possible.
See the Giant Sequoias
I am a sucker for a huge ancient tree. I love trees; there is something so magical about them to me.
