Bullet Pointery

I have to go to Lowes Hardware. Again. Stupid stripped screws.
While I’m at Lowes, the battery for the drill can charge, so there’s that…
All my laundry is folded. I’m pretty sure THAT is the seventh sign.
My next renovation project has already declared itself to me.
School starts in about 4 weeks. I’m ready.
I never EVER believed [...]

It’s just dirt.

Underneath the carpet

underneath the padding

resting on the subflooring

is a line of dirt.

This line of dirt is Daddy’s dirt. The path the dirt takes is a direct line from the hallway to where Daddy’s chair used to be when the room was his office.

I giggled through the tears as I swept it up. We are finally [...]

Dear Potential Blind Date:

If I offer to hop on your lap, you say “YES PLEASE!!! Where would you like to meet??!!??”
(not “You’d run screaming”.)

If I say “I have the next two days off”, you say “I would love to take you to dinner tomorrow night.”
(not “I haven’t worked in years”.)

Sincerely,

The chick who’s NOT going out [...]

Featured!

I’m pleased and honored that my post on How I afford Health Insurance (as a part-time employee) was featured in the Carnival of Pecuniary Delights hosted by the Wise Bread personal finance blog.

Thank you so much, not just for featuring me, but for providing a forum where we can share personal finance tips.

I just wanted to go out…

The plan was for me to leave work early enough to get home and have a bite before taking the boys to the 7pm movie.

They didn’t want to go. The Spongebob Sponge Bash is coming on and WE CAN’T MISS IT MOMMY!!!

The plan became: get the boys in bed, slip out and find something to [...]

So I guess I’m not interested after all…

I was in the dairy section when I looked up and there he was. A regular customer that I wanted to get to know better outside of work.

He mentioned a 20 yr old daughter and I asked “How do you make it past 16 without wanting to KILL THEM DEAD??!!??” He reiterated the mantra I’ve [...]

I keep getting clobbered by life.

Take one teen. Add in a puppy with fleas. Tell the teen “Take the pup OUTSIDE to comb the fleas off, then shampoo him. OUTSIDE.” Come home from work to find a nasty flea comb sitting next to the sofa, flea shampoo in the bathroom, and wet doggy-smelling towels strewn everywhere.

Find said puppy under YOUR [...]
