And…life happens.

Of course, the week I had no time (rather unexpectedly) to post at all, is the week after I intentionally “took” a week off.
Sigh.
To those who’re new, or who’ve forgotten , I work full time AND I’m a student. And, this semester I’m happy to report I’m finally at my “last” campus (I did [...]

Siiiiick

There is a LINE between good-frugal and ridiculous. And I really, really should learn to get on the good side of that line in all circumstances…because somehow, there is a mechanism in my brain that will ALWAYS let me buy the $3.99 DeSomethings Cream Puffs at Market Basket (that are always $6.99 at Shaws), but [...]

Homemade Linen Spray

In some e-book I was looking at recently, I came across a simple “recipe” for a homemade linen spray. That one called for 1/2 cup of vodka and 15-20 drops of Lavendar, but since our Vodka supply was slightly low, I decided to go with this recipe for a homemade lavendar linen spray. Calling for [...]

The Zucchini Project

When we left for New Jersey last weekend, I noticed a few more baby zucchinis growing. I’d already pulled 3 out of the garden the weekend before, and figured I would grab the growing ones in a few days or so. Yesterday was my designated baking day (in between church & a Fantasy Football draft [...]

And What A Week It’s Been

There are not enough English words in the OED to express how thankful I am that I took this past week off frugal-blogging, since honestly, that’s the last place my head’s been. And my empty cupboards can prove it.

I’ve been utterly glued to Nico Pitney’s liveblog on the Iran Election for the Huffington Post, and [...]

Vacation & Blogging

So, apparently my plan of blogging from the next state up (NH) while watching my 3yo niece and 1yo nephew who’ve flown in from Seattle, while visiting with one of my best friends who’s up from Virginia, while going out to celebrate another friend’s birthday didn’t QUITE work out. I always get too ambitious, and [...]

Summer’s Here

I love days like today. I got home from work at 4:30, grabbed my latest read: One Square Inch of Silence, and walked the few blocks to the beach. The wind had a bite, but I had a blanket (I won), so I got to read a few chapters with my feet in the sand, [...]
