Freaky Frugalite

I’ve looked at the calendar and realized that, since late July, I have spent more time with my feet up (due to the herniated disk in my back) than on my feet. 😐 UGH. That’s a lot of time laying around. No wonder my gardens are riddled with weeds… Anyone who knows what it’s like […]

What is it about bubble wrap?! When I get a package in the mail, the kids look at what’s come, then divebomb for the bubble wrap. It must be human nature to want to poke the bubbles and hear and feel that satisfying snap. I could do it for hours! I saw this at someone’s […]

The neatest thing happened to me over the weekend. As some of you know, I got my little half-Siamese kitten Thursday. It was a bit of a surprise– earlier this week, a friend had directed me to a classified ad advertising some kittens. The next thing I know, I’m driving out on Thursday to pick […]

I have learned a lot as a member of Entrecards, visiting all sorts of blogs. I’ve learned that there are some incredibly talented and witty people who run great blogs, and I’m a lot smarter and blessed by them. I’ve also learned that there are a lot of really lousy, crappy blogs that are basically […]

You knew it was coming– another post about my new kitten, with photos! In case you haven’t heard, we have a new addition to the family: Olivia the kitten. She’s half-Siamese. She is the most ADORABLE thing I’ve ever seen!!! This kitten is the sweetest and most affectionate little baby. She hates to be alone […]

For us in the Northern Hemisphere– it’s baaaack! Autumn, and winter is on the way! I love autumn– it’s so colorful and the air is crispy clean. And I prefer cooler temperatures. However, as autumn turns to winter, my skin gets horribly, horribly dry. It’s so bad that my hands crack and bleed. No skin […]

Here she is! My new baby! Her name is Olivia and she is 8 weeks old. She is so adorable that I can’t stand it! She’s half-Siamese. I used to have a half-Siamese calico cat and loved her, so I’ve been looking for another half-Siamese. And here she is! She’s a little camera shy. lol […]

That’s what my physical therapist told me. 😀 My orthopedist says that I still have great strength despite my herniated disk, but I do still need to exercise and continue to strengthen my abdominal muscles. Because I was laid up for so long, I had to cancel my gym membership. I really hated to do […]

My MRI appointment was finally approved by the insurance company! It was a nail-biting experience to the last moment. The last time I had an MRI was two years ago. Technology is changing fast! Then I used to have to lay on a table and it sould slide me in to a small cubby hole […]

You’ve got a great blog, a great template, good content, but you need more readers! What to do? Why not promote your blog offline? This is the “in” thing to do these days– buy business cards or t-shirts and promote your site! I bought business cards for my travel blogs, and I love them! I […]
