Freaky Frugalite

I’m still recovering from 2012. It was a whammy of a year, especially the final few months. I’m usually glad to see a previous year end and a fresh, new one start, but I’m a bit apprehensive about what 2013 holds. I read the headlines and they make me more and more nervous every day. […]

Classic FAIL. And it doesn’t look staged to me. Ouch. But hey — at least that pricey windshield wiper is OK! *** I finally had to break down and get Windows 8 (required for work). It should be here in a few days. UGH. I’m dreading the change. I’d downloaded the Preview Beta version as […]

When my husband and I were first married, we got an answering machine for our telephone. This was in the telemarketer heyday, in the early 1990s, and we were literally plagued with solicitor phone calls. (This was before I knew to remove our number from the public directory). Anyway, instead of opting for the boring […]

I gave my daughter my nice Otterbox iPhone case because… well, because I am a generous, kind, loving soul. :luvs: Also because I spotted a dirt cheap case on eBay and I wanted to get it! It’s called the “iFace Revolution” iPhone case and it’s a really, really nice case. It took THREE WEEKS to […]

Dinner is over. ‘Twas a nice meal (zucchini and sausage in tomato sauce over pasta). We are sitting around the table, just relaxing. The two boys are absorbed in an iPod Star Wars type game, so tinny sounds of laser guns (pwew pwew!) and speeding spaceships (rrrroorz) pepper the air while the adults chat. Dad: […]

Well it made ME laugh. Hey, these consecutive heat waves have one benefit: Oh this is JUST what I want to do with my car, yeah! And this! This guy is all over the Internet. Is it the same Batman in a Lambo? He’s friendly! He even waves! And this just made me giggle like […]

Oh, the things we do on long road trips. Besides ranting at traffic and inventing new crayon colors, We also come up with goofy memes. Like this one: Scents That Never Made It to the Grocery Aisle. Here are some of our favorites! Morning Paper After the Rain (Can’t you just smell it now?) Dairy […]

Well, it’s been quite a while since you suffered from some of these! Here are some goofy photos and other shenanigans I’ve found online. 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 […]

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 […]

Well, I wasn’t going to write anything today because my schedule is CRAZEEEEE and I’m feeling a bit rushed. But I have a lull before I have to cook dinner, look over my son’s schoolwork, and plant the garden…. yeah, I’m exhausted just thinking about it. Nothing like a good dose of procrastination to spice […]
