Start a 401K and Hope for the Best

Funny, I was thinking exactly the same thing last night while trying to balance my checkbook.

Problem was, the amount of money I have to balance wouldn't fill a kid's piggy bank. The recession is stretching its boney fingers around my neck like a creepy unrelenting death grip. Had to drink a strong cup of java just to distract myself.

Seeing kitty contemplate her windfall evoked a good giggle, reminding me once again the best things in life truly are free.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Attempt Baby Picture 'Exclusives'

The Interwebs exposed Brad and Angie's "exclusive" baby pix before People and Hello could become the most dog-eared publications in newsstands. Looks like we're not the only ones regarding these multi-million dollar covers as spawn. Funny thing is, we used "spawn" to describe the pictures NOT Brangelina's latest offspring, but to each their own.

Bet you anything that's tiny Vivi Marchy mugging slyly on People, already wielding a hint of disarming feminine charm. Between her and big sister Shiloh, Vivienne gets my vote as the future scene stealer of the family.

Meanwhile, lumpy headed Knox Leon looks like Momma pressed that soft spot too hard. At least the Hello cover shows a more square-headed Brad-like Knox, although those bee-stung Angelina lips are such a waste on a little boy.
