Freaky Frugalite

It’s only just a baby, but it’ll be all grown up before long. I created a new blog where I can be myself. No pressure to be glitzy, or fun, or entertaining, or pretty. No advertisers breathing down my neck with their demands for fast-paced, image-based content. This blog is radically different from the others, [...]

Another week has come and gone. Less than a week left of Christmas vacation, wah!!! Oh, I forgot, everybody calls it “Winter Break” now. What a cold and antiseptic name for one of the best school vacation holidays of the year! I still call it Christmas vacation. So it’s Friday. Oh wait– let me check [...]

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. [...]

We’ve all heard the lavish, glorious praises of the iPhone. But what about the “dark side” of the apps out there? If you have stayed up late, pondering what evil lurks in the App Store, wonder no more. I have done the legwork for you, peeps. I’ve cut out the perverted and the obscene because [...]

I shouldn’t write blog posts late at night, because I’m exhausted after a long day and my creative juices have congealed into mush…. but I’m doing this meme tonight for a good reason (see #1). Questions: 1. Tomorrow I’m going to _________? Work. WORK WORK WORK. I write articles, and last month I BARELY made [...]

Oh my word, it’s Friday and I REMEMBERED that it’s Friday! Friday is one of those days that always sneaks up on me. By the time it’s gone and Saturday rolls around, I realize that Friday happened. :-p Fridays are like Mondays to me. I know, I’m a strange one.

So which one are you? I think I have a serious case of Christmas Carol #9. CHRISTMAS CAROLS FOR THE DISTURBED – 1. Schizophrenia — Do You Hear What I Hear? 2. Multiple Personality Disorder — We Three Kings Disoriented Are 3. Dementia — I Think I’ll be Home for Christmas 4. Narcissistic — Hark [...]

Time to start off the week with a meme! I used to get these done Sunday night for early posting on Monday, but I’ve developed a habit where O don’t blog or do anything else Sunday night. It’s very relaxing. Questions: 1. Monday’s are _________? Terrific! I love Mondays. I like the fresh start to [...]

If you have been languishing with Blogger, waiting in the wings for some great deal on self-hosting to come along, I found one for you. Actually, it’s such a good sale that I’m a bit miffed. I am already on Hostgator, so I can’t take advantage of it. Anyway, YOU can. I know some of [...]
