Freaky Frugalite

It’s Friday! I’m happy today because the sun is shining. Because I read John chapters 14 through 17 and it thrilled my heart. Because I am starting to get better after having a terrible cold all week. And I’m happy because I started a new blog (a resource blog for New York State travel) and [...]

Aaaaaaaaaaand another Friday rolls around. I am seriously missing the Christmas vacation, friends. Like the sugar crash after a delectable meal of chocolate and sweet coffee, I’m seriously mourning those late holiday mornings, the lounging around all day, staying up late with the kids and giggling over Looney Tunes videos and goofy books…. Oh well, [...]

I love love love homeschooling. But one of the disadvantages is that my kids don’t benefit from all the perks that public school students do (even though I pay for them through my property taxes). Stuff like using the school swimming pools, playing on the school astroturf, and getting inexpensive instruments to use as they [...]

Happy Resurrection Day! Even after 2,000 years, Jesus the Messiah is still greatly loved… and greatly scorned. “I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. [...]

It’s continuing! Yay! Let’s cut to the quick:   Questions: 1. What are you wearing right now? My usual: knit pants, a t-shirt, and a flannel shirt on top. My hair is loose (almost waist-long). I’m still wearing my makeup from this morning. 2. Do you have freckles? Nope. Never wanted them after reading “Freckle [...]

Every single time I hear this song, I want to jump around the house (and often do!). EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Hillsong United is coming to Boston, Massachusetts! Did you hear?! I saw the listing at Cheap Concert Tickets, where they have, duh, cheap concert tickets. Someday I am going to make it to a Hillsong [...]

I’m doing this on Sunday night, while 99.9% of America is watching the Super Bowl. You wouldn’t BELIEVE the Internet speed I’m getting! lol Questions: 1. Did you watch the Superbowl? Nope. Don’t have TV. The husband played it on the radio for a little while, but I wasn’t paying much attention. Why? See Question [...]

My husband passed this video along to me. He plays guitar, and finds this song hilariously funny. And it IS funny. The first 20, 30 times, that is. After that, it gets kinda old. It’s by Ray Stevens, that barrel of laughs himself. As a favor to you, my dearly devoted reader, I’ll post the [...]

Short version: I LOVE IT. Long version: …read on… While we worked on our kitchen renovation over the summer, I wanted to create a small space for a “media center.” Even if it was just a small bookshelf, I wanted to make a dedicated area for an iPod/mp3 dock. Our previous little CD player was [...]

I was tagged by Jay of Jay’s Musik Blog, and inspired by The Other Alice of As in a Mirror and Brickster at The Brick Buster. :D This looks like a fun meme. And since I ACTUALLY and FINALLY do have some music loaded in my player, I can play this game! Let’s have some [...]
