Freaky Frugalite

And here I thought I was SO smart. I finally figured out how to add my own ringtones and text tones to my smartphone. (Apple is notorious for controlling every durn thing on the iPhone). I decided to get cute and use clips from one of my favorite movies, “Up.” For my daughter, I chose […]

This is a stunning video of the Northern Lights in Northern Michigan, November 14th. So beautiful! Did anyone see anything like this?

The kids and I — experienced GPS users by now across most of New York State and down the east coast — read with great interest Brad Stine’s blog post, Traveling by Faith. In the post, Brad lauds his GPS mentor with amazing allegorical panache: The more adventures we have taken the more I have […]

As I live a scant few hundred miles from New York City, I have been monitoring Hurricane Sandy for a few days now. I probably wouldn’t be so interested but I was scheduled to go down to the city on a business trip Monday… and I was fully intending to go, hurricane or not. I […]

*shudder* I’m going to New York City on a business trip next month… and it’s an “overnighter.” I haven’t stayed overnight in New York in a few years. Apparently, there’s a bit of a “bed bug” epidemic down there so of course I have a tiny, mild case of FREAKINGOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😯 I hate bugs. HATE […]

Just color the collars and you’re good to go! :beanie: I subscribe to updates from various museums and I saw this old tapestry on one of the posts. OMG!!!! People from […]

While sitting at my desk, I heard some annoying buzzing in the window next to me. I inspected the sill, and discovered a very strange bug. It looked like… well, it had the head of an ant, the thorax of a honeybee, and the abdomen of a beetle! WEIRD!!! I’d never seen anything like it […]

Quick question: Is “bull” in its vernacular form a “bad word”? So yesterday we went to West Point. New York. The Military Academy of the United States. Yes, where Robert E. Lee and Jeb Stewart and Ulyssess Grant and Dwight Eisenhower and Douglas MacArthur went to school. I should clarify… we WANTED to go to […]

I had a restless night’s sleep last night. Bad dreams, hot and humid weather, mice (or worse) rastling inside the walls, etc etc. So I woke up pretty groggy, needing my coffee. My lovely Livvy Cat, however, was meowing at my feet, begging pitifully for her food. So with a brief burst of compassion, lol, […]
