When people hear that I’m a Mystery Shopper, they usually say, “Oh, I love to shop. So, you just shop and get paid for it? How does that work?” Um…not like that. If I could just shop for things I want and get paid, I wouldn’t have time to blog. [...]

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, what a great pair! Famous for their comedy, Abbott and Costello are best known for amusing audiences in their hugely popular movies during the 1940’s and the 1950’s.
