Freaky Frugalite

Nice song from Steven Curtis Chapman.

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 [...]

Just discovered this band. The music makes my DNA dance, I tell ye. The drummer is a show unto himself, no? My favorite song of theirs is “Alexander’s Welcome.” I have never heard such amazing piping, ever. WOW.

Because I work from home, I maintain a weird schedule. I often work during the evening hours, Mondays, and weekends. This past week, however, I have been completely lazy. And I’m making it an extended weekend by not working today, either. I have 9 articles awaiting me in my queue, yes, but I’m going to [...]

It’s been a busy weekend. We went to a Civil War reenactment on Saturday — our first ever! We’ve been traveling to historical sites for almost a decade now, can you believe we’ve never seen a reenactment? It was fun and we learned a lot. You can see my post about it on my travel [...]

It’s Friday! I’m happy today because the sun is shining. Because I read John chapters 14 through 17 and it thrilled my heart. Because I am starting to get better after having a terrible cold all week. And I’m happy because I started a new blog (a resource blog for New York State travel) and [...]

Aaaaaaaaaaand another Friday rolls around. I am seriously missing the Christmas vacation, friends. Like the sugar crash after a delectable meal of chocolate and sweet coffee, I’m seriously mourning those late holiday mornings, the lounging around all day, staying up late with the kids and giggling over Looney Tunes videos and goofy books…. Oh well, [...]

I love love love homeschooling. But one of the disadvantages is that my kids don’t benefit from all the perks that public school students do (even though I pay for them through my property taxes). Stuff like using the school swimming pools, playing on the school astroturf, and getting inexpensive instruments to use as they [...]

Happy Resurrection Day! Even after 2,000 years, Jesus the Messiah is still greatly loved… and greatly scorned. “I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. [...]
