Freaky Frugalite

Well, I was reading a few of my most recent posts and I realized I have had WAY too many happy, perky posts around here. It’s time to get riled up! It’s time for the latest “Pet Peeves” Edition! Right, Livvy?! That is my kitty’s “peevish” face. So we call her our Peevish Disputant when […]

I had to reformat *another* one of our computers this week. The Windows Updates ALONE took THREE days, a staggering wait, I think.

I’m STILL on the prowl for an updated computer. My current one is still working pretty well, although the graphics card is starting to act up. 🙁 I use my computer almost 24/7 because I work at home. My needs are pretty steep- I need a hefty processor, lots of RAM, and a very good […]

I’m finally getting to the school shopping. Ugh! This kitchen renovation has totally consumed 1/3 of my year so far. I am so, so happy to have it (almost) done. 😀 I am eager to get my life back again! The kids need school stuff now. We’ve been relying on last year’s surplus, but the […]

When I was traveling away from home recently, I’d tried out some remote access software. I loved it!! It was like having my little home away from home. I also didn’t have to worry about having all my personal information on my travel netbook, either- all I had to remember was my remote access username […]
