Money Keeps Women Awake

What is the #1 worry that keeps most women awake at night? Kids? Marital problems? If they'll ever get used to saying Kim Humphries instead of Kim Kardashian?

NO to all of those.

More and more women are staying awake over financial worries! The Catalyst Group found a third of women say money worries keep them from a good night sleep.

To-do lists and work stress come in a distant second.

If you answered "A childhood favorite dish that gets you drunk," you'd be RIGHT!

 It's the Grilled Cheese Martini now being served Beecher's, a handmade cheese emporium in New York and Seattle.  You know what would make that better?  Skip the olives and shove a giant PB&J in the glass.
