Well, it only took me 6 months, but I finally earned my Starbucks gold card There’s a little PF angel on my shoulder beating the crap out of my ear right now for that. I’m mostly ignoring...
I finally met a blogger off my blogroll yesterday when I met up with Bridget on campus for a brief coffee. The brief part was totally my fault (Yay derm appointment), but I still enjoyed it nonethele...
Those of you who have been reading for a little while will remember that I used to drive a Smart car. They are touted as reliable, fuel efficient little city cars that make driving fun and parking a ...
After my $10 goof recently, I decided to turn a more critical eye on my financial drips. My money suckers if you will. My car insurance renewal came in recently, and the monthly payment went up on it...
I had an incredibly humbling, thought provoking weekend. The Boy had a tux fitting for his friend’s wedding on Saturday, so I decided to split my time between sitting and reading in a Starbucks...
My secret sister parcel arrived! It actually arrived a couple days ago, but I’ve been swamped at home and I didn’t have time to give this post the effort it deserved. Lots of good stuff g...
You’ll have to excuse me while I finish banging my head against a wall. Earlier in the month when my bank account fee came out, I noticed that I got dinged $1.30 for having 2 extra transactions...
The Boy and I went to the movie theatre last night to see The Avengers. Neither of us had seen Thor yet when the movie came out, so we postponed hitting the theatre until we had both seen it. Going t...
I pulled out less money this period than I normally do. ”Normally” is obviously only applicable to the last couple pay periods I purchased some custom ear plugs through work a few months ...
This may lose me some followers, but we’ll see how it goes. I’m not doing my biweekly budget updates anymore. *waits to see who is still left* I’ll be honest, I did go over budget l...
I found myself sucked into the allure of the local bookstore yesterday. Books stores and I, we get along. Like peas in a pod I ended up emerging with two new books: Millionaire Teacher by Andrew Hall...
I live in suburbia. My home may be many an urban girl’s nightmare, but hey, it works for me. One of the more unfortunate parts of owning your own home is that everyone and their dog is trying t...
I’ve been fighting with my lawn since the first shoots of green showed up in the spring of 2010. If the first shoots were grass, that would be one thing. Unfortunately, the were dandelions. Dan...
This post is definitely more of a CHECK IT OUT type post than me babbling, but I know a lot of you ladies will find it interesting. If you’ve ever wondered how it is fashion bloggers can afford...
I used to wonder why there were fewer posts to read during the summer than during the winter. I get it now. Summer is quickly approaching, and wow it’s going to be a busy one. Between now and t...
10) It was 1000x cheaper than a new truck. 9) Specks of dust blend in with the faded paint, so spending $2 in a wand wash is more than sufficient to get it looking clean. 8) The high number of kilome...
I don’t feel like I’m saving enough. I blame my wanton impatient streak for being dissatisfied with how quickly my savings account is filling up. There really is no good reason why I shou...
*Hmmm, WordPress deleted a whole chunk of my post when it published it. I’ll try to fix this shortly* It fits my cards and the occasional couple bills that I fold up in there. It also co...
Two and a half years ago, at the age of 25, I took out a loan for approximately a quarter of a million dollars. It sounds a little more ominous when its phrased that way, doesn’t it? A year an ...
I left off my April update a little abruptly. Sorry about that. I got a text from my sister Sunday night saying that my mom had been in an accident and that she had been taken to the hospital. She wa...
I don’t know what was up with me last week, my mind was doing funny things. I was making penne a la vodka for The Boy last week, and I decided that if Daisy ever came to visit, that’s wha...
I was tickled pink to be asked to be part of the Socialpunk Blog Tour I’ve been meaning to get back into reading more than just blog posts (as much as I do love reading blog posts ), so being a...

I kinda buggered my neck a couple weeks ago. I don’t really know what happened, I just turned to talk to someone and something in my neck pinched and got really stiff. It was quite uncomfortabl...
Do you remember a little while back when I was thinking about getting a garment steamer with my Airmiles, but I didn’t have enough? Well, I finally have enough. Last month I was exactly 1 mile ...
May I just say that waking up to this Monday morning afternoon made my week? Thank you Marissa for the retweet My brain is a hot mess today. I’m not stressed about money in any way shape or for...
I caught whiff of this when Mutant Supermodel posted on her blog that Sudden Expression was hosting a pay it forward event. I rather enjoy sending out gifts to people, so I was more than happy to jum...
Well, since I finally (FINALLY!) finished paying off my debt last week, I figured I’d revisit the multitude of reasons I got myself into debt in the first place. There are quite a few. Those of...
I had all sorts of plans for this pay period. Today was the day that I was going to put the final nail in the coffin of my consumer debt. I was going to put the last chunk on the LOC, a couple hundre...
This is pretty much the complete opposite of my wordy pictureless posts. I don’t really know what to say right now, so I’m just going to show you instead: Filed under: Babbling, Mo...
