I figured I should post something helpful for Valentine’s Day since my last post was whining about my disastrous attempt at a Valentine’s Day card box for a Kindergartener.
Anyone on a budget (and who happens to have a Valentine) knows that Valentine’s Day can be just as spendy as any other holiday. When you consider [...]
Dear Kindergarten Teacher:
Please don’t assign homework that involves crafts. Daughter’s Mother is the uncraftiest person on earth. And I don’t even care if that’s not a word. You know what I mean. Why a Valentine box? I think we used to bring our Valentine cards to school in old plastic shopping bags. I’m seriously wondering [...]
It’s hard to believe that there is only one more day left in 2009 even harder to believe that there’s only one day left in the decade referred to as the 00s. The internet is jam packed full of top ten lists, worst things of the 00s, best things of the 00s, Time magazine even [...]
As much as I enjoy people reading the blog, I kind of hope you aren’t today. Maybe you are hanging out with family or resting from all of the holiday havoc, better yet maybe you’re getting ready for the big after Christmas sales this weekend.
I am doing a little of everything, resting and drinking coffee [...]
For no reason except for entertainment purposes, I have been researching and asking people what their worst Christmas gift ever was. Here is what I’ve found from the people I have asked.
1. A condom- from a weed smoking aunt’s boyfriend.
2. A flask and a travel mug…presumably for when you need to take your booze to [...]
I received my Christmas bonus from work (which is going entirely toward Christmas presents) and my daughter will be with her aunt, uncle and cousins visiting Santa Claus tomorrow. The setting is perfect for some serious Christmas shopping.
I do have goals in this endeavor, the main one being that I’d like to get my Christmas shopping [...]
I’ve just realized that I am a complete failure when it comes to Christmas. I think I mentioned somewhere around Halloween or even before, that my goal was to start Christmas shopping early and take advantage of sales to save money.
Well, here it is December 9 and I have exactly 2 people finished for Christmas. [...]
Well, my Black Friday has been the most inexpensive Black Friday ever. I have not gone anywhere and have not purchased a single thing all day today. I had to send a friend the sad news last night (via text) “I don’t have the energy to meet you at 4 a.m. tomorrow. I’m sorry.”
Instead, I [...]
Yeah, you read it right. I don’t know how it works in everyone else’s family, but in mine we rotate the Thanksgiving and Easter dinners so the same person doesn’t always have to host. Someone has to bring the veggie tray; I’m guessing it is usually the person that a) doesn’t cook b) shouldn’t cook [...]

If you’re like me, and not able to get into the crazed-crack- of-dawn-shopping of Black Friday, you may be interested in Black Friday’s far more attractive sister, Cyber Monday. There are obvious pros and cons to shopping for holiday sales on Cyber Monday, but for me, sitting at a computer placing orders beats a line in [...]
