Hi friends. Surgery was smooth sailing; besides puking my guts up afterwards and doning a lovely Bride of Frankenstein look. Want to see (Warning: If stitches and puffy hands make you queasy, just keep reading…nothing to see here…)? My wonderful DH took two days off and waited on me hand and foot (no pun intended). [...]
By the time this posts, I’ll be on my way to the outpatient surgery center. Its been a long time coming and I couldn’t ignore it anymore. Today I’ll be having surgery on my left hand for carpel tunnel and tendinitis in my thumb. And did you know that carpel tunnel has nothing to do [...]
The trauma of turning another year older this weekend was softened by a lot of eating out, a few gifts and some great company. I had so much fun I didn’t have time to prepare a post for today. Instead, here are a few images from the fun and frivolity… On our way to the [...]

But my heart skips a beat when it comes to printable and electronic coupons. Yes, coupons have met [...]
**UPDATE** The winner of the Crocs $50 gift certificate winner is #22, Joanna! One of the great aspects of BlissDom’09 was being showered with some free stuff. I mean come on…who doesn’t love free stuff? And the BlissDom gals didn’t hold back. With some great sponsors like Little Debbie, Land’s End and Geek Squad, it [...]
My office mate is just not very productive.
A while back I mentioned my new obsession with couponing. Take a tightwad like me and combine with a method of saving 50% or more on my weekly grocery bill and I. Am. One. Happy. Housewife. I used to be a Costco gal all the way. I would go religiously on DH’s payday, and spend [...]
If you’re like me, there are times when you don’t have all the answers for your kids. Why do kids have to die? Why do people that do bad things seem to get away with it? What will it be like in heaven? Who will be in heaven? I find often myself saying, “That’s something [...]
