Freaky Frugalite

Does it happen to you?? Your shopping cart is loaded — absolutely stuffed sky high — with gifts and groceries… you check out after waiting in line for 45 minutes… cram everything into your car and sit in the driver’s seat with a sigh of relief…. and THEN it hits you. OH MY WORD I [...]

You know the type. The kind of person- high strung, plagued by restless leg syndrome, always tapping their fingers or babbling on about the dozen or so big project they are working on— who cannot relax. Um, that’s me. *blush* I never dreamed I’d turn out to be a workaholic, but here I am. I’ve [...]

Some of you guys are already talking about Christmas shopping! I agree, it’s never too early to shop, for Christmas or birthdays or whatever. Not to mention that I’m also STILL shopping for stuff for the home renovation: rugs, lighting, etc. And now that winter is on the way, the kids need clothes, shoes, school [...]

Huh. Who knew? Photos from WildAmmo. See more there. LOL. Yeah, I’m in a silly “mood” today. 90 degrees in the shade it is, and no relief in sight until the weekend. I’m taking it easy today after working on the electrical for the house- we passed Round One of the inspection! Yay!

Unless you made your millions while in your 20s, or inherited a house after leaving home, you know that apartment hunting is miserable. I don’t know anyone who likes it. All that hunting through scads of classified ads, all that phone calling, all those appointments! I hated apartment hunting. Well, thanks to the age of [...]

Finding a house can be SO hard. I know! I spent a few years hunting for our current money pit beautiful abode. :D Actually, owning a home is terrific. It’s a lot of work, but I’ve never been afraid of hard work. There are many, many blessings to owning a home. However, it can be [...]

It’s gratifying to give to those in need. And it’s gratifying to get, too. Here’s a really, really cool website where you can do both!! It’s called Gimmepleez. I think it’s the PERFECT name for a site where you can beg ask (hee) for donations for a worthy cause, such as college or a wedding. [...]
