Freaky Frugalite

A whole bunch of bloggers passed on a sweet award to me… some did MONTHS ago. :blink: I tell you, I am horribly tardy with these things. I have to be in a “mood” to do them, because they require listing random facts about me. I wish random facts came to me more easily… which [...]

I was almost going to forgo this post this time. It’s just been so busy for me, lately. But the taxes are done (in the nick of time, too), although we haven’t even started the spring cleaning nor the vegetable garden plans. *sigh* Now I know why some women of the olden days used to [...]

How long does it take a frozen turkey to thaw?? The packages always say “3 to 4 days” in the refrigerator. But after 4 days, I can still crack a hammer on that baby. It takes me about 7 to 8 days for a turkey to thaw. And that ain’t easy– you have any idea [...]

The first Monday of the new year, the first Monday after vacation!!! Wow! What do you think of that, huh? :hmph: Yeah, I think it stinks, too. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to stay up late any night you wanted, sleep in, eat cookies and candy canes whenever you wanted, no homework, no [...]

Nothing like a possum skulking around in the basement to keep you on your toes, full of vim and vigor while you exercise heartily and obtain your target heart rate for aerobic exercise! Yes indeedy! :blink: We knew something was afoot a few weeks ago, when the cats’ food in the basement started mysteriously disappearing. [...]

It’s not only you, my dear blog readers, who have been woefully neglected while I have been consumed with my home renovation. Look at that pitiful face! My daughter got some pet Yorkie mix dogs. So Livvy is a tad peeved. And I have been so busy. I’ve neglected her chin scritches. I am such [...]

Renovating a home is contagious. Once one person starts doing it, a bunch of other folks start considering it. :D Sorry, guys! Well, here’s a little tip for you– save bundles of cash by buying things online. I have purchased a lot of stuff online: moulding, paint, countertops, appliances, linens, tools, and etc. I only [...]
