Freaky Frugalite

I had a strange experience at my local retailer last week. I’ve been in search of some “on ear” headphones. My old ones are tattered beyond recognition and I need a better pair. I like the semi-sound canceling kinds because, as a work-at-home mom, I am bombarded with billions of interruptions throughout the day (and […]

I saw this in my Clark Howard e-magazine today, and thought it was worth repeating. I’m very glad to see the banks and credit card companies FINALLY getting some accountability (I think the banks own the United States, lock stock and barrel!!). They have been allowed to railroad Americans for too long. These changes take […]

Did you know that dried cranberries are PHENOMENAL!? I am eating some now for the first time, and… WOWSA. They is good. OK, ANYWAY. I saw this meme at Vixen’s Den and thought it was cute. Feel free to do it, too. 1. Suitcase :: packed 2. Exhaust :: -ed, that’s me 3. Olympics :: […]

I’m going to have to scale back, I think… I get under six hours of sleep and every morning I hit the ground running, to go at top speed all day… and golly, I’m just bushed. I got a new work-at-home-mom job recently, and it’s great! But it’s very time-consuming… and so is blogging… and […]

Oh yeah baby. I have a confession to make. I LOVE disco! I was one of those really crazy girls in high school who loved Donna Summer and the Bee Gees. (Donna Summer became a Christian, too!). I hated the punk of the 80s and the grunge of the 90s. I love the disco of […]

I have HAD IT with those battery-powered watches. I hate them. The kids all need watches, as do we adults, and I spend a fortune on watch batteries! They seem to run out almost every other month, and it’s usually *right before* the kids have to wear them to school. Crazy! The batteries are $5 […]

Because, if she did, who would FEED her?! Well, I took this quiz anyway. I know a lot of you amazing bloggers are cat people. 😀 Thought you’d like it, especially since everyone else is watching the Super Bowl. :smarty:
