I Won a Bronze Metal

 Yesterday, Kaye from Mrs. Nespy’s World awarded me with a bronze metal for one of this week’s posts, Sometimes “Sorry” Isn’t Good Enough. 
Some of you have chimed in to support my rant.  Thanks for your suggestions and advice. 
Who should I rant about next?  Ebay again, or maybe Paypal or Hardees?

A Thrifty Waffle House Wedding

My friend sent me an email today about a couple getting married in a Waffle House.  I checked it out and sure enough, it’s true.  Now you have a reason to smile today.  Let me know what you think.
Standing nearby, the father of the newly minted Mrs. Pamela Mathis, William Christopher, wondered if anyone had videotaped […]

An Update on My Life

As most of you know, I will be moving soon.  I hope that you’ve enjoyed the great articles we’ve had from our guests. 
As far as my life . . . My husband and I have been finishing up some home repair projects, packing, and decluttering.  We had a birthday party for the kids and we’ve been out of town twice in […]

Little Man’s surgery

My son is having minor surgery today to redo his circumcision. Even though I have researched it and gotten the inside scoop from the anesthesiologist, I still hate to turn my little boy over to anyone if I can’t go with him. Wish us luck!

Kids say the darndest things

The other day, we were driving down the road and Turkey Butt saw a man walking down the street with no shirt on; just shorts.  She told me that the guy was “naked”.  I guess she couldn’t see the shorts.  I died laughing.  She cracked me up!  I guess dressing naked is the ultimate thrifty […]

A Crazy, Draining, and Profitable Weekend

The last few days have been kind of a big blur.  As most of you loyal readers know, I’ll be moving in just a few weeks.  We are downsizing considerably.  I’ve been going through every drawer, dresser, cabinet, box, and space that I can to declutter and purge the things that we don’t need. 
Each time […]

Happy 5th Birthday, Princess!

My little Alligator was born on July 4th.  She’s quite a firecracker.  Happy Birthday, Sweetie!

Just a few days old.

Gee, who do you think she looks like?

My brother and sister-in-law thought she needed a bigger head.  Here she is on her new Barbie throne.
Happy Birthday!!!!!
