IN WHICH JAMIE STOPS BEING CHEAP [KIND OF]

There's something you have to understand about me: I'm super cheap about magazines. I love them, but it's like pulling teeth to get myself to subscribe (which makes no sense, I know, since it costs so much more to buy them on from the stand!). I kid you not, my sole resolution last year was to subscribe to three magazines, which ended up being House Beautiful, Real Simple, and Runner's World.

I finally bit the bullet and subscribed to Elle Decor, Country Living and Veranda. Five dollars each, yo.

Aaand back to being broke. :) At least I'll have six magazines in my mailbox to cheer me up!
