I am in love with Google. I use Gmail, read all my blogs on Reader, blog on Blogger, and organize my photos with Picasa. I started using Google Reader when I was planning my wedding so that I could efficiently keep up with about 10 different blogs. I slowly added on some food and local blogs as well.

- cheese

- good, fresh produce, especially locally-grown peaches or strawberries
What are your splurges?
