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 […]

All three kids are doing their music practice. AT THE SAME TIME. Two of them are working on their scales but are playing them in opposing directions. I have FIVE huge articles due today and I can’t think straight! GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. *** Three days after as I pay off the previous month’s whopping big cell phone […]

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 […]

As I journey through the vast nothingness that is the Internet, I collect the funniest photos for you, so you don’t have to. Enjoy! Oh how true it is. I had an uncle who was a brilliant English teacher, and he loved his job. But sometime in the 1990s, education changed, he said. It was […]

From the doldrums to a massive tsunami of activity… yowsa, it’s been CAH-RAZEEE around here. Maybe it’s the sudden burst of warm weather? Not sure. It’s been relatively rainless (we had just a light shower this morning), warm temperatures, sunshine- I think I’ve joined Team Global Warming! Yay, team! Hey I don’t think us Northeasterners […]

This is adorable! Watch the kitty make a snow “angel” with his tail. ;)
