Freaky Frugalite

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 [...]

She insists on squeezing into this thing. How she manages to sleep in it, I’ll never know.

I saw Karen’s post 12 Things I’ve Done That You Probably Haven’t and was intrigued by her answers. Yep, I haven’t done those things (except maybe I’ve read as many books or more in my lifetime). Her post got me thinking, so I thought I’d join in and have a little fun. I’d be really [...]

It’s another Monday! How do they come around so quickly every week? Questions: 1. The thing that scares me the most is __________? Ugh, I can’t think about all those things! It’ll ruin my day. I’m kinda high strung and if I meditate on how the politicians are ruining our economy and out country, about [...]

It’s good to be back home, although I say that with mixed feelings. We spent a week in the Adirondack Mountains and IT WAS INCREDIBLE. If I could buy property up there, I SO would. I have never met anyone who visited the Adirondacks and didn’t gush and gush about how wonderful it is there. [...]

What a whirlwind of weeks. Just TOO MUCH to do lately, and it’s been so hot that I haven’t felt like doing anything. Today, the humidity is back down to “people level” (as opposed to “fish level” where we’re literally swimming through the atmosphere) and the temperature is down to 85 degrees (wahoo, yippee). I [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. After I posted my article about the the TracFone cell phone plan, I was rather surprised at all the enthusiastic responses! It makes me wonder if the no contract phones are putting a dent in [...]

It’s with incredible joy that I read this news report about another up and coming movie from the Sherwood Films dudes. If you have never seen “Facing the Giants” or “Fireproof,” GO SEE THEM. Good, good movies. The same folks are making a new movie, “Courageous.” My kids have been talking about it for a [...]

Oh I had a LAZY day yesterday, and it was SOOOO good. I bought a new patio set after our old one was destroyed by flooding in late April. This set is so much nicer! I trimmed the oak tree to make canopy so we could sit in the shade. I’m trying to force myself [...]

I’m back! I told you I needed a vacation. On very short notice (but in the works for the past ten years), I finally got to visit my brother in Virginia. It was WONDERFUL!!! Oh, it is so good to be back home again (especially after a 10 hour drive, ugh), but we were so [...]
