I Cannot Imagine The Day That I No Longer Worry About Money

June 29, 2012

I'm feeling very down in the dumps about my finances these days.  I guess it's because when I started getting serious about getting my finances under control - almost four years ago - I felt like there was going to be some kind of "end." I thought there would come a day when I ... Read more...

Thursday: Most and Least

June 28, 2012

It has been a long time since Thursday: Most and Least! And I've missed it! This past week was my first week of summer vacation so my spending was a little wonky. As always, feel free to use this little meme on your blog, just be a sport and link back to me somewhere in your post ... Read more...

Thursday: Most and Least

Your Wednesday LOL

June 27, 2012

Last Friday I went to a really cool (and free!) art show called Artomatic. It's held every year in the D.C. area in old office/warehouse spaces that are set for demolition; it's a great way for local D.C. artists to get exposure for their work and get one last use out of a big ... Read more...

“Parents, Step Up!”

June 25, 2012

I have the free Dave Ramsey app on my phone, which is basically just a collection of short segments from his radio show, updated almost daily. A few days ago there was a segment, filed under the category Best of Dave, called "Parents, Step Up!"  The whole segment was a 10-minute ... Read more...

Frugal Food: BBQ Chicken, Sans BBQ

June 22, 2012

One of the great things about summer is delicious, barbecued food. Burgers, hot dogs, and, my favorite barbecued chicken. Alas, I only eat actually barbecued food when I've been invited over to a friend's house for the evening. I have no outdoor space at my humble abode, which ... Read more...

Do You Judge a Woman by the Bag She Carries?

June 18, 2012

Yesterday my sister and I made a quick trip to Wal Mart to pick up a few random beauty supplies. We found what we needed, got in line, paid for our stuff, and left. As we were getting back into my car, I noticed that we were both carrying high-end handbags and wondered if anyone ... Read more...

+/- Updates, My First in a While!

June 15, 2012

I've really been struggling to get coherent posts together recently. I've started about a dozen and left them unfinished…incidentally, I've also been having a hard time getting "into" the novels I've started, which is very unlike me. So I guess you could say - when it comes to ... Read more...

For Me, Homeownership Isn’t a Dream…Per Se

June 12, 2012

A few weeks ago, my good pal Andrea at So Over Debt wrote a response to a very rude commenter on a post of hers that has been rolling around in my brain ever since. I won't rehash the whole exchange (you can read it for yourself here if you want to ) but part of her comment back ... Read more...

Rediscovering My Frugality: How Am I Doing?

June 11, 2012

About two months ago (wow, time is flying!) I wrote a post about needing to rediscover my frugality. Somewhere along the way, I started to lose my frugal habits. Call it frugal fatigue or just plain laziness, but I made it a goal to cut way back in certain areas. I thought I'd ... Read more...

I’m Side Hustling it Up!

June 5, 2012

This week I'm in the great state of Ohio reading AP tests - it's a great professional development opportunity and also an AWESOME side hustle. I make about $1200 (after taxes!) for one week's work. Sweet! But the bad news is that the hotel I'm staying in has very serious Wi Fi ... Read more...
