Freaky Frugalite

Maybe it’s in my face– that “look” that tells the street hawkers that I’m an easy one. Or maybe it’s in my demeanor, the way I walk that perhaps oozes motherly gullibility. Or maybe it’s my Upstate New York accent- we’re all hicks up here, lol. Whatever it is, I am a MAGNET for street [...]

We’re back after a whirlwind day in New York City. The girls and I feel like we could sleep all day. We got up @ 4am to drive to Albany, to take the train to Manhattan. I spotted the “coffee tanker truck” on the way and it gave me a little boost of energy. :D [...]

I won’t be around here much for the next few days. I’m taking my daughters to New York City, to accompany me to The Home Depot Light Bulb Showcase 2012. Woohoo! Hey, light bulbs are exciting! Especially now that the federal government is outlawing our beloved incandescent bulbs and making us all switch over to [...]

This meme is usually called “Friday Fragments” but seeing that Friday, Saturday, and Sunday totally sped by, here I am on Monday. *** I took a “vacation” from the blog and work to work on a roofing project with some friends. It’s a flat roof and OH my word, the person who came up with [...]

I’m going to have to scale back, I think… I get under six hours of sleep and every morning I hit the ground running, to go at top speed all day… and golly, I’m just bushed. I got a new work-at-home-mom job recently, and it’s great! But it’s very time-consuming… and so is blogging… and [...]

Yes! I changed my theme again! I told you I am a maniac when it comes to stuff like this– I am the lind of person who is always moving furniture around. I just like the “fresh” look. That, and my previous theme was getting extremely crowded. I’m expanding into offering coupon codes and etc, [...]

This is what I see out of my window every morning. Isn’t it lovely? I have more garden photos at my home/garden blog, if you’re interested.

OK, what’s going on here? I check my traffic stats for my photo blog, I Love New York Travel.net, and it’s spiked! What the?! I looked, and it seems that I’m getting a lot of hits for “world’s largest watering can.” Oh my goodness, that is hilarious!!! I did post a photo of the World’s [...]
