Some days, it just doesn't take much. I must be in a good mood today. I grinned at the "Vidalia onions, GA grown" today. I was further amused when it occurred to me in all my produce mystery shopping it never occurred to me to ask my produce guy where Vidalias are grown. If I get back into it, that question may top my list for a while ( Read more... ) -

Frugal myths

Words have meanings ... no, really, they do ... and nutrition info doesn't make it food, necessarily
I love my local coupon blogger, really, I do. She does the dirty work finding the good deals easier for us all, and she's running the show where we all communicate the good deals we're finding that weren't in the sale ad. She's a rock star. But ( Read more... ) -

My husband and I went, and like the bulk of those present, got up and left as soon as the 1 guy talking about chickens was ( Read more... ) -
Need a distraction
I'm tired, and I'm about done. I have avoided commenting on Facebook posts eulogizing my cousin April. Enough people are "OMG I'm so sorry for your loss, you know she's with Jesus and her Dad watching out for you now and she's not in any more pain" and it's grating on my nerves. The only part of that that is in the slightest bit comforting is ( Read more... ) -
Drama llama much?
My sister called me today. She'd called my cousin to firm up how many hotel rooms we'd be needing. My cousin clued her in on some of my hesitation over whether or not this trip was a good idea for me ( Read more... )
