Fitting for my day.

I came home tonight to a package in the mail. I thought it might be something I was expecting from a relative, but no – it was from Peggy! Woo-hoo!! Upon opening, it was a darling package of scratch paper. I adore homemade paper – my sister used to make it, y’know. Beautiful! Say, they’re [...]

Fill me up, Buttercup.

Lloyd had to go to a conference this week and while packing his travel stuff, he saw that his little tube of toothpaste was empty. Lloyd: “I’ll need to get another one, unless you want to refill this one.” Then he chuckled, like it was funny. Then he got quiet, and looked at me fearfully. [...]

I make it fresh.

Eco-Freaky/Cheap Girl highly recommends using packets of salad dressing mix if you’re a fan of Italian dressing, which I am. (I’ve said it before – I could drink the stuff.) It’s a win-win all around: 1. It’s cheaper this way. 2. I’m not buying more plastic. (I’ve used the same bottle over & over for [...]

The money will just roll in…..

A while ago when I was trying to fix my back knots, I took a couple of really hot baths. It’s funny, but I don’t really enjoy baths -there’s only so much soaking/reading/staring at the ceiling/pretending you’re a mermaid a person can take. (If there were a t.v. in the bathroom it would be a [...]
