Freaky Frugalite

Two cups of coffee and I’m still yawning like I could swallow a skyscraper…. Some days, it just ain’t kicking in…. We’ve been home a week now from the vacation, and I’m still adjusting to “normal” life. I must be getting older– it now takes one week to GO on vacation and an additional week [...]

Ugh, I am SO horrible with memes. I just never remember! Combine that will my propensity to mix up the days…. I woke up thinking today is Saturday. It’s really tough to keep remembering that it’s Friday today… that I have to work today…. *sigh* lol :brudder: Well, I like this meme and here’s hoping [...]

This morning I learned what “swag” means. My husband saw the word the other day (probably reading a blog over my shoulder) and asked, “What is ‘swag’? Where does that word come from?” I explained that swag is the loot bloggers (or online folks) get, usually from companies– tote bags, buttons, pens, promotional stuff, etc. [...]

We’ve been laying low this week, due to the serious heat wave hitting the area. Hey, remember all those times I laughed at you folks in the South about the snow and cold? I take it back, all of it. :-p I’m a Northerner, my blood is too thick for this stuff! I saw on [...]

This meme is usually called “Friday Fragments” but seeing that Friday, Saturday, and Sunday totally sped by, here I am on Monday. *** I took a “vacation” from the blog and work to work on a roofing project with some friends. It’s a flat roof and OH my word, the person who came up with [...]

Another Monday! I can’t believe it’s been a whole week since we left Virginia. I miss the ocean. Questions: 1. What is your favorite bagel flavor? Hmmm…. I don’t eat bagels that often. I rarely eat breakfast (even the smell of food in the morning makes me queasy). When I lived in New York City, [...]

I took the entire afternoon off yesterday. Yep. I did absolutely nothing. It felt really weird. Well, I did rake up a couple of flower beds, but I had the kids do most of the grunt work. I even skipped doing Meet Me in Monday like I usually do! So, I’m actually doing it on [...]

I can’t believe I’m late for this! I honestly totally forgot it was Friday yesterday. I thought yesterday was Saturday. Ugh. It messed up my whole day. Well, better late than never! Here are the prompts for this week: 1. If I don’t _____ in the morning, my day feels off. If I don’t have [...]
