Freaky Frugalite

The reason I haven’t been around is because (a) I’ve been busy, and (b) I’ve been sick with a nasty cold. The husband works in public service (post office and in a grocery store) so he is exposed to all sorts of sick people. We haven’t been sick like this in years. My poor husband [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Relationships are important. Take, for example, your prescription medication.

Woo hoooo!!! I have the day off! The first in a long time! OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH what will I DO today? Should I vacuum… yeah, I should. Should I do laundry?? … definitely. Catch up on the exploding dust bunny population? Clean my tornado-stricken desk or bookshelf? Maybe even install the flatbed scanner and the software I’m [...]

I’m too lazy busy today to write much for the memes. I’m sorry! Here is a day I actually remember and I can’t do any of them! But I am not leaving you bereft of some fun for this Friday. I’ve been collecting various funny photos for such a day. Here are some of my [...]

It’s been a remarkable winter here in Upstate New York. I think my area has had a whopping 3 inches of snowfall TOTAL.

Well, I am working this evening, but I’m taking my time and doing things that I like to do. Laptop in the dining room (away from my disastrous desk piled with bills and etc, heh heh)…. spiced eggnog… rose-scented candle… Christmas music in the background. :-D Ahh.

How was your Christmas holiday? I made a nice dinner and we all voted to watch “Ben Hur” together… but it wasn’t on our movie bookshelf! A thorough scouring of the home and boxes and closets produced no “Ben Hur”! I have no idea what I did with that movie!! I was pretty disappointed. I [...]

Everybody has them on Tuesday but I thought I’d be different and have mine on Saturday. *** I don’t like that a lot of my pals are on Facebook all the time and not blogging as much. I don’t like all the “sharing” that goes on there. Nothing against you guys, really, but blog posts, [...]

Update: Oh YEAH. I wrote this post THIS MORNING but totally forgot to hit “Publish.” LOL. Friday Fill-In is middle-aged, now! Woo hooo!!! Let’s cut to the chase. I am in a no-nonsense mood today. 1. ____ is my ideal winter night. Lights out. Fireplace lit. The scent of spicy Chai tea in the air. [...]
