Freaky Frugalite

Not advice from cats. Advice from people. With cats. Livvy was spayed today. 🙁 She was a good girl at the vet clinic, but she’s feeling pretty lousy tonight. My question concerns this- the vet informed me that they could find no ovaries or uterus with Livvy. The vet made a longer incision than usual […]

I saw this really neat meme over at Subjective Soup, and thought I’d do it. Don’t you just love how I butt in on memes? 1. Have you ever been on TV? Yes, a few times. When I was a drama student in Manhattan, there was a cattle call for actors who wanted to answer […]

And I thought I’d seen everything. It must be really tough to find that perfect match. Actually, it no doubt is. In the “olden days,” young people relied on childhood friends, schoolmates, family friends, and church to find one’s spouse. Life is way, way too hectic today. And unfortunately, fewer people are relying on parental […]

… when you take quizzes about being addicted to blogging. I’m miffed. Only 77%?! OK, so I’ve never “live” blogged… so? 77%How Addicted to Blogging Are You? 77% is pretty intense, though. I think I scored high marks on the number of blogs and blogging for both personal and business. It’s a fun quiz. I […]

I just found a goldmine! It’s a software program called Stellarium. Wow wow wow! This is the coolest program since Google Earth! I have spent the better part of the morning checking out the program. I am completely wowed by this program! It’s free and available for all operating systems (Linux, Windows, and Mac). It’s […]

Ugggghhhh! Just heard the weather report for the weekend, and sub-zero temperatures are on the way AGAIN. We just suffered two weeks of them!! Wah! The weatherman said that our current reprieve, of 15-degree Fahrenheit temperatures, can be considered our “January Thaw.” Oh, hardy har har. January Thaws usually involve temperatures in the 40s, not […]

This is the best time of the year to plan trips, did you know that? Crowds are low, prices are down, and there are some really interesting and unique things to do in winter. We usually take advantage of discounted getaway packages in late-January to early-February. We’re still in the planning stage right now, because […]

At the orthodontist’s office yesterday, I read a few of their news magazines while in the waiting room. I never read magazines like Time or Newsweek anymore, so seeing what they print was quite the eye-opener (and the brain-closer). Good heavens, are journalists THAT dunced?! It was the most ridiculous drivel I’ve ever read. I […]

Whew. I’m exhausted. It’s been a busy day for me today. I took my daughter to the orthodontist (no more braces! yay!) and after that, we went driving around looking for adventure, to celebrate. I’ll have more about it on my travel blog, but one cool thing I will share here is that we took […]

Here they come a-rollin’. The birthdays. Now that the holidays are over, you think my shopping is over? Nay! My shopping has only just begun! I think there are… hmm… 10- yes, TEN- birthdays between Christmas and Easter, and that is just the immediate family. I’m exhausted already! Most of my kids are late winter/early […]
