This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Madacy Entertainment. All opinions are 100% mine. Did anyone go bananas and wait in line for hours, on Black Friday? I did it TWICE- one year I actually found some good sales without getting stampeded; the second time was useless. I decided that waiting […]

Trying the YARPP Plugin Again

Comments Off on Trying the YARPP Plugin Again
Things seem to be a bit more stable on my web server (an Apache upgrade about a month ago seemed to make things unstable; plus, I’d heard through the grapevine that one of the other websites on this server was under attack last week, ugh). Sooooo I’m going to try the cool Related Posts plugin, […]
NASA Finds Water on the Moon
November 30, 2009
Big whoop. Remember how I posted a few weeks ago that NASA was catapulting a missile at the moon, to see if sparkly little water crystals would shoot out the side? Well, guess what, NASA saw the sparkly stuff! For a project costing $5.6 gazillion, they’d BETTER find ice crystals, right? Right? I mean, you […]
Bucket List Meme
November 28, 2009
This time I’m stealing a meme from Cindy! She always steals mine, so you reap what you sow, darling! 😉 It’s called a Bucket List Meme, and I’m not quite sure why. Does it have something to do with some movie with the same name? If so, I regret using the same title. :-p I’m […]
Printer Woes and Wants
November 28, 2009
Printers hate me. Yes, they do! I have had over a dozen printers in my computing life (ten years now), and the printers resist me every step of the way. If they are not eating ink like there is no tomorrow, they whine, they complain, they don’t like the port they are plugged into, they […]
Cranberry Pear Febreze is Much Better
November 27, 2009
If you recall, I did a review on the Febreze Flameless Luminary a few weeks ago. I have a very sensitive nose, and hate pet odors, old cooking odors, and just about everything except a sweet breeze or an Asian Lily! We got a free packet of the Green Tea Citrus fragrance, which is terrible. […]
Going to the Chapel?

Comments Off on Going to the Chapel?
It was only 21 years ago now that I got my engagement ring. Actually, I think I got it 21 years ago today, or maybe a few days ago! I cannot believe how quickly time flies. I can’t wear my engagement ring anymore, because one of the small brackets holding the diamond broke off. 🙁 […]

Finally, Budgeting Software That’s Simple!

Comments Off on Finally, Budgeting Software That’s Simple!
I’ve tried quite a number of financial and budgeting software- MS Money, Quicken, and some free stuff online. Whoa, whoa! Waaaay too complicated. I just want to BUDGET, not plan my retirement, trade my stocks, cash in silver or gold, and chat with Bernanke! I *just* want to budget. How about you? There’s some new […]
WFW: Happy Thanksgiving!
November 25, 2009
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting. This is our favorite holiday. It is America’s very first holiday, when the Separatists (who had come from England to escape religious persecution) had a great feast and gave thanks to God for providing for them: for the abundant and […]


Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
