Freaky Frugalite

This is a fun questionnaire that allows us to get to know each other a little better. There are FOUR QUESTIONS that everyone can answer and then you have the option to add a fifth question of your own for those who are visiting your blog to answer in the comment section, along with commenting […]

This is a fun meme run by Heather and Wayne Smith. The questions are always thoughtful or entertaining! 1. What is your favorite kind of soup? Hm. I’m not terribly fond of soups. I like to chew or drink my food, and soups were always in between. But if you pinned me against the wall, […]

I slacked off Sunday night, watching NOVA videos (ancient Viking metallurgy and Gothic cathedral architecture — very good documentaries!) and chilling on the couch with the cat. It felt so good to do nothing for a few hours. Mmmmmmm. To cap off a nice night, I’m doing the Monday meme this week. Gee, who knows […]

It’s been a while. With winter fast approaching, I am in “Aesop’s ant” mode, scurrying around trying to prepare for the next 6 months of cold and snow. I’m still working on that built-in bookshelf unit and building a fireplace box with mantel for the heater. UGH! Too much to do… But that doesn’t prevent […]

The job has me exhausted lately, with little time or motivation to write on the blogs. The backlog of “necessary” posts is rising while my energy levels are sinking. I’ve been working extra while it’s been plentiful, and another employer decided to test everyone with some very difficult writing pieces, while at the same time […]

NO! That’s what I thought when I saw my blog’s home page. NO! I haven’t posted here since Wednesday?!?!!??!? What happened? The days flew, flew by! I thought for sure I’d posted Friday and Saturday. Oh wait. I remembered that we’d gone to a late-night concert Thursday. We saw Robin Mark, a Christian musician and […]

I’m getting this published on Sunday night because tomorrow is “paint day.” The heat and humidity has finally broken (I am sitting here with NO SWEATING CANYOUBELIEVEIT??) so I can finally paint the living room. I have one day to do everything because then it’s back to my crazy schedule. 1. Where do you go […]

Wow have I been a slacker here lately. I only wrote two posts last week, me thinks! Sorry, pals. I’ve not been much company. I took last week off (for the most part) — we went on two day trips and I’ve been busy writing about those for the travel blog. I also discovered TWO […]

Ugh. I got up early enough but everything has been going in slow motion today. Upstate New York is back to bathing in the scalding hot weather again…. still no rain in over a month for my area. Very odd, especially considering that we had a slew of hurricanes and other monsoons hit us year […]

Another super-hot day in Upstate New York. The weather dudes are all a-flutter, we may hit 100 degrees tomorrow. Oh yay. :ik: Four more months…. only four more months…. 1. If you could be on a reality tv show which one would you want to be a part of? Tough one. I haven’t ever seen […]
