More Random Toodles

7. February 2012

The reason I haven’t been around is because (a) I’ve been busy, and (b) I’ve been sick with a nasty cold. The husband works in public service (post office and in a grocery store) so he is exposed to all sorts of sick people. We haven’t been sick like this in years. My poor husband [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Relationships are important. Take, for example, your prescription medication. You trust that person behind the pharmacy counter to get your medications correct every time, don’t you? You establish a relationship with your pharmacist, you go to [...]

It’s been a remarkable winter here in Upstate New York. I think my area has had a whopping 3 inches of snowfall TOTAL. As I look out my window, the sun is shining, the grass is green… yeehaw, I think I just joined Team Global Warming. *snicker* However, the weather gurus have interrupted my reverie. [...]

Well, I am working this evening, but I’m taking my time and doing things that I like to do. Laptop in the dining room (away from my disastrous desk piled with bills and etc, heh heh)…. spiced eggnog… rose-scented candle… Christmas music in the background. Ahh. Other Stuff You Might Like:

How was your Christmas holiday? I made a nice dinner and we all voted to watch “Ben Hur” together… but it wasn’t on our movie bookshelf! A thorough scouring of the home and boxes and closets produced no “Ben Hur”! I have no idea what I did with that movie!! I was pretty disappointed. I [...]

Everybody has them on Tuesday but I thought I’d be different and have mine on Saturday. *** I don’t like that a lot of my pals are on Facebook all the time and not blogging as much. I don’t like all the “sharing” that goes on there. Nothing against you guys, really, but blog posts, [...]

I’m Rebecca

:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York in a soon-to-be-renovated 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?!

Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side. I love saving money, spending money, gadgets, funny stories, and coffee- lots and lotsofcoffee!! I'm a Christian and I love the good life God has given me! :D You can read all the juicy details about me here. Thanks for visiting!
