Freaky Frugalite

Woo hoooo!!! I have the day off! The first in a long time! OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH what will I DO today? Should I vacuum… yeah, I should. Should I do laundry?? … definitely. Catch up on the exploding dust bunny population? Clean my tornado-stricken desk or bookshelf? Maybe even install the flatbed scanner and the software I’m [...]

I’m too lazy busy today to write much for the memes. I’m sorry! Here is a day I actually remember and I can’t do any of them! But I am not leaving you bereft of some fun for this Friday. I’ve been collecting various funny photos for such a day. Here are some of my [...]

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, over the holidays I took the chance and now I see that it wasn’t the best idea…. My stove was on fire this morning. Yeah. Fun times. Let me start at the beginning since I do so love to tell a good story. I’d baked an apple pie in the oven for Christmas dinner. [...]

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, [...]

Update: Oh YEAH. I wrote this post THIS MORNING but totally forgot to hit “Publish.” LOL. Friday Fill-In is middle-aged, now! Woo hooo!!! Let’s cut to the chase. I am in a no-nonsense mood today. 1. ____ is my ideal winter night. Lights out. Fireplace lit. The scent of spicy Chai tea in the air. [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PartyLite Simple Pleasures Holiday Sweepstakes for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Were you ever a “Tupperware hostess” or “Avon hostess”? I remember going to a few of those kinds of parties when I was a young girl, with my mom. I was cleaning [...]

Is my cat the only cat who gets her claws stuck on the furniture while she is scratching? I have to rescue her ALL THE TIME. And yeah, I let her scratch the furniture. For one, it’s old furniture– it’s been scratched by a slew of previous cats so I guess it’s become a time-honed [...]
