Freaky Frugalite

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Have you noticed it yet? Have you been to Walgreens to pick up a prescription only to discover that your Express Script benefits no longer work there? The reason is failed negotiation. Express Scripts basically “wrote [...]

Well, I did it. I got a pair of cheap eyeglasses from Zenni Optical!!! I’ve been wearing them for quite a few weeks now. I’ve blogged and blogged about them countless times, and I finally got the guts (and the cash, lol) to order the glasses. I wondered if they’d really be up to snuff [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Zenni Optical for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. …well, not with eyeglasses. All four kids got new glasses at the eye doctor’s place and the prices are OUTRAGEOUS. Not only that, but the insurance company would only pay for the “budget” kind, so [...]

I think I have seen it all. Did you know that there is a test for expectant mothers to determine if the baby will be a boy or girl? What do you think about how to determine the gender of your baby with a simple gender test? Think it’s for real? Apparently, it’s a urine [...]

I am surrounded by sneezers. They are everywhere. I’d read in my local news story that the pollen count was astronomical this year, and that poor folks with allergies were suffering like Job.

Yeah, I’m still here. Posts across all my blogs have been slim. Well, more precisely, non-existent! I haven’t had any free time lately. I have a huge scroll of “Things to Do” on my desk, getting longer and longer by the day. THANK YOU to all you wonderful people who supported my daughter and I [...]

It’s still early morning as I write this, so I have some quiet time to think before the day’s mayhem begins, Oh wait, the kids are up. Too late. Ugh, and they have informed me that we need milk, so I must walk down the street to get some. *sigh* Well anyway, I guess I [...]

My pal, Carole, started this great idea of Thoughts Too Short For a Blog Post. I like the idea so much that I decided to steal it join her in this terrific idea. Actually, she just published a new one, so go read her post! She’s a great narrative blog writer, she makes you feel [...]

I don’t know about you, but I have had the hardest time keeping my days straight this past week and weekend. Everything in my usual schedule has been completely out of whack. Christmas was only part of the befuddlement: my two sons have been very ill (doing better), the Hubs had some odd days off, [...]
