No Valentines for my loved ones
Happy Valentine’s Day!
There, I gave you all the same thing I gave my family for Valentine’s Day – a greeting.
I don’t really have anything against Valentine’s Day. Sure, it’s a silly little tradition that lets flower shops, craft stores, greeting card companies, and chocolatiers rake in the dough. If people want to buy into that, go for [...]
What’s In My Wallet? What’s In My Purse?
sjean over at Stacking Pennies did a What’s In My Wallet? post earlier this week and I thought it looked like fun. Actually, I’ve been meaning to do something similar to this since starting this blog.

Until I was about 8, I thought there was classical music and The Beatles. The first [...]
How Could I Have Forgotten? I Won A Prize
I knew I was leaving out an important mention in this week’s Carnivals and Round-Up post. But for the life of me, I just could not come up with it. Then, just a minute ago, it popped into my head — I won a prize this week!
My poor post-stroke mind — it leaks like a sieve.

Chasing the “IT” Toy. Or Not.
Yesterday morning I read a post about Chasing the “It” Toy by Trent over at The Simple Dollar. I haven’t been able to get that post out of my mind. I posted a comment at the time but feel compelled to return to the topic here on my own blog this morning.
Trent talks about his [...]
