FrontBurner Holiday Schedule Announced

I have already poured myself two fingers of Maker’s Mark at my desk. (Note to all freelancers: the key to getting more assignments is to do as the great John McAlley did. Send Christmas liquor.)

One Last Sale Alert for 2009

Ok, so we’re almost out of here. (See below!) But, I had to share the details of this one last sale before I completely indulge in the holiday festivities. WIIFY in Flower Mound is hosting a day-after-Christmas sale, but it’s only from 10 am-6 pm, so perhaps you should make them your first stop. TOMS Shoes and [...] [...]
