Happy Earth Day.  My April 2007 newsletter on my MaureenMcCabe.com website has some different Earth Day ideas. Here's an one for the couch potato or us computor potatoes....

Buy a flat screen monitor
The old, bulky monitors not only take up space, but they also increase your electric bill. You'll save money by switching to an LCD flat-panel model because a flat screen uses as little as a third of the electricity as the conventional tube-based models. You should also consider this when shopping for large-screen TVs — the savings are in the LCDs and rear-projection models because they use less than half the energy of plasma TVs.

Visit the April 2007 newsletter on my website MaureenMcCabe.com for spring cleaning info.  Wow that  sure sounds like a lot of work...

" Dry-clean all curtains and draperies, and wash your windows inside and out."

You better believe someone else wrote that.  And took the photo of a young woman cleaing house in a skirt.   It says: "Spring cleaning is a great time to complete those chores you've been putting off all year — or in some cases, for the last few years."    

Or never....

I have monthly home maintenance tips on my website if you have any energy left....
