I look at the calendar and am flabbergasted that it’s already the last week in April. Wow! So here we are on another Monday, and instead of laboring to create my own ideas for a blog post, I’ve got two memes to do it for me! :D 1. Finish this sentence – I am glad [...]

The Open Window
We had quite the “scorcher” yesterday: hot, humid, hazy. We left the windows open last night lest we dissolve into a sweaty puddle and evaporate into nothingness overnight. April weather is generally very unsettled, so it was no surprise to wake up absolutely freezing the next morning. As I went to close the window, the [...]

Frugal Alert: Credit and Best Loan Rates
I’ve been flipping on the radio more frequently lately (lots of driving this week) and have caught The Clark Howard Show a few times. I remember when he used to focus on deals, saving money through sales, smart shopping, and etc, but now the show seems more focused on financial and credit advice. Zzzzz. I [...]

Is 2012 Over Yet?
:duncehat: Oh, I’m serious. I’m exhausted. I’m ready for 2013 now! I’ve been inundated with assignments for work. The work is very welcome, because I’ve got some big bills coming up AND I’m still paying off that kitchen renovation 18 months ago. :-p I am so grateful for the new kitchen, I am happy to [...]

Time To Fight Back the Telemarketing and Scamming Calls!
Well I just spent about 40 minutes combing through my son’s cell phone, checking the received phone numbers and doing a little research online. Even though his number is on the Do Not Call list, he received a whopping 32 telemarketing calls for the month of March! THIRTY-TWO! That’s just… insane. Wow. What a hassle, [...]

Oh Dear, What a Slacker
The reason I haven’t been blogging much is because I’ve been exhausted! I’ve been working around the house or on the job, and by the time I finish at the end of the day (IF I finish then), I’m too, too tired to be witty and funny and entertaining. *thud* *** I heard my first [...]

It’s 8pm and I’m just getting started on my Monday. Don’t ask. :-p So now it’s time for…. Meet Me on Monday! This week’s questions are very thoughtful ones. And not one about food, yay! LOL 1. Did you prank, get pranked or ignore April Fool’s Day? I ignore it. I always have. In school, [...]

I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 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, USAToday, 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.
