From the Devoted Fan of "Sex And The City".
Sunday night was the easiest planned girls' movie night, because to plan an evening off our families that suits each of us and our families is usually a challenge.

I've been sitting at home far too long to realize that I should start looking for a way out. Out to work. With a noble desire to contribute to our family budget which lately needs an assistance, I started browsing online employment websites, as well as sending my weird resume out to friends and friends of the friends with a plea to let me know if ( Read more... ) -
