Freaky Frugalite

Who comes up with these holidays, anyway?! If it wasn’t for my good pal Karen, I would have gone through this ENTIRE day not realizing what an important holiday it is! Hey, to us smooth-skinned homo sapiens, it’s not much to toot about, but to our furry friends, National “Hairball Awareness” Day is right up [...]

Late start to the day. I stayed up far too late last night and slowly crawled out of bed about (unintelligible) o’clock. That’s one of the perks about working at home. It’s also one of the downfalls, because you have no real blood-pressuring schedule and therefore you tend to overwork to make up for lost [...]

Well, over the holidays I took the chance and now I see that it wasn’t the best idea…. My stove was on fire this morning. Yeah. Fun times. Let me start at the beginning since I do so love to tell a good story. I’d baked an apple pie in the oven for Christmas dinner. [...]

So which one are you? I think I have a serious case of Christmas Carol #9. CHRISTMAS CAROLS FOR THE DISTURBED - 1. Schizophrenia — Do You Hear What I Hear? 2. Multiple Personality Disorder — We Three Kings Disoriented Are 3. Dementia — I Think I’ll be Home for Christmas 4. Narcissistic — Hark [...]

Time to start off the week with a meme! I used to get these done Sunday night for early posting on Monday, but I’ve developed a habit where O don’t blog or do anything else Sunday night. It’s very relaxing. Questions: 1. Monday’s are _________? Terrific! I love Mondays. I like the fresh start to [...]

On Sunday during church, the bombastic strains of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah kept running though my head. It’s such a glorious piece, one that makes me want to jump up and down with glee. So I downloaded the song as my newest ringtone for my phone and have been having fun whenever I [...]

I have a GOOD excuse this time!! Really! We were traveling. Before I start the Meet Me on Monday, check out these photos! I am so excited, I can’t wait to blog about our trips on my travel blog, New York Traveler.net! We visited Howe Caverns in Cobleskill, NY. It was fabulous. Photo taking was [...]

I had to make a run to Walmart on Thanksgiving morning (sheesh, I always forget SOMETHING) and drove past Best Buy. I thought it was open, seeing the parking lot fill up. But then it hit me: The store isn’t open! These are Black Friday shoppers! Hello, it was 11 IN THE MORNING on Thanksgiving [...]

Gonna be short and sweet today. My eyes are hurting today and staring at a computer screen for even a few minutes is painful. I don’t know what’s going on with my eyes. I woke up and they were all bloodshot and a little crusty. I was up for about an hour, reading but this [...]

The holidays would be SO much nicer if we weren’t harassed and harried to shop shop shop for seven weeks straight. All this shopping comes at a terrible time of the year, too- the onset of winter when food prices rise and heating costs go through the roof. It’s awful! For folks who may have [...]
