Unexpected purchase: two new tires

And boy am I incensed. Not because I had to buy two new tires, but because the reason I had to buy two new tires NOW, and not months ago. When we SHOULD have.

Thinking about setting some goals

Over the weekend I came across a site that led me to pick up another domain and set up a couple more blogs, to try a different avenue to earn some extra money, hopefully, once things get rolling on the blogs.  One blog will be a review site for video games on all consoles, hopefully [...]

A piece of the puzzle – part of Obama’s economic plan

I would like to try to make an informed decision when it comes time to vote for the next Prez this November, so being a good little voter, I am taking a few minutes to peruse some of the key issues at Obama’s campaign website. I’m still a little undecided about the various tax cuts [...]

Last chance!

This is the last day of my first Friday Jewelry Feature special, the $10 off of my Breast Cancer Awareness bracelets.  I am pretty sure the coupon will work until midnight tonight, but if you try it and have problems using it, please let me know and I’ll move the date to tomorrow. After today, [...]

Sticky: Friday’s Jewelry Feature

– canceled — see most recent STICKY post for details. Ok, for this feature, I thought I would offer up a discount on one of the sets that I created.  I am going to choose the “Green Tea” set, with a 20% off coupon.  The coupon code is GREENTEA.      

Work frustration

I really, really, hate screwing up at work.  And I hate it even more when it’s because of someone else’s previous screw up, which only leads me to add to the damn pile.   GAH!!  I can just feel my blood pressure rising, and my nerves becoming frazzled.  And if it’s due to someone else’s mistake, [...]

Competitive commercials

While driving home from work yesterday, I heard a commercial by the local phone company, touting their internet (DSL).  They were laying the smack down against their closest competitor, the local cable company. I swear it sounded like I was listening to the mud-slinging commercials done by political candidates. “They promise this, but how do you [...]

Well, that seemed to be a bust

Unless something went horribly wrong with my store, it does not seem that my first Friday Jewelry Feature went well.  There were no purchases.   I saw a little bit of traffic, but that’s it.  Ah well.  I guess I’ll try something different tomorrow and try again. There’s still time left on the coupon for [...]

Oh how I LOVE commuting

Can you smell the sarcasm? As I sat in traffic this morning, by myself and unable to use the HOV lane since my husband is staying home with the Kiddo today, I thought about just how much time I waste with my daily commute, and how I get nothing, except for maybe frustration and a [...]

Pool draining – the cheap and slow way

Our pool has evaporated to maybe, oh, half of it’s full capacity (yep, we’ve been really bad about it this year. I think we swam in it twice and gave up on the algae battle). We need to drain it to put an end to the ‘squito breeding harbor, but we don’t want to spend [...]
