Shut UP!
That’s what I said when I saw this ‘08 Tahoe Hybrid and all it’s fancy shmancy features.
I said it when I saw the reverse camera and the XM touch screen radio and the GPS and the tire pressure monitor.
Well, read BlogHer or Bust! to find out just how opulent and extravagant a $52,780 […]
Saying “lower taxes” while accruing trillions of dollars in debt is not actually lower taxes.
It is taxes plus interest.
Which is about the most expensive way there is to pay taxes.
Look around at the state of the U.S. economy at this moment and you (should) learn a vital lesson: overextending on credit is a dreadful […]
I was checking my statistics for Blog Fabulous when I noticed my story Anal Retentive Compulsions in 2008 was still being read. How’s that for accountability?
That was my story where I declared my New Year’s Resolution to get be so organized I could be classified as anal retentive compulsive, you know like Kate Gosselin and […]
Suze Orman sent me an email asking if I am striving for my own personal financial independence this July 4th.
When you joined the Save Yourself movement, you also made a declaration. You said to yourself: “I own the power to control my destiny.” Now I ask you: What action have you taken lately to fulfill […]
Evidently, there were 461,000 foreclosures in the month of May.
CNN is complaining that Congress went on vacation for July 4th weekend (when they need to look patriotic wearing their lapel pin at the fireworks show at home to be reelected).
The thing is - those people couldn’t afford those homes. They couldn’t afford them when they […]
What’s so refreshing on a 100 degree, humid East Texas day?
A scalding hot bath.
I love my wonderful house. But, it has two weird quirks.
1. They hooked the outside faucet to the hot water pipe instead of the cold water pipe. So all our summer water fun is preceded by running all the hot water out […]
You don’t want to miss this article over on MOMocrats. Did you know federal employees get no paid maternity leave? George W. Bush, and your other elected officials, think it costs too much money. Really? Surely not more than we spent to send a satallite to freaking Mars.
I think it just shows a general lack […]
I was roaming all over the house looking for my phone. Cause, you know, I had pictures on it that I was going to use for about 5 articles.
I was muttering “where is my phone?”
Pone. Zack, the two year old very near death (because I’m about to want to kick his ass), says and hands […]

Yesterday I told you how Zack Ran Away to visit his friend down the street.
What bothered me was the threat to call the police.
Is that what neighbors do now?
We resent looking out for each other’s kids to such a degree that we’d rather call the police than talk to a mother, maybe help her devise […]
Sometimes it’s easier to fix something myself than to get it to the top of my husband’s list.
Step 1 - Go to ABC Auto Parts. They expect me to know nothing cause I’m a girl. They very patiently explain, and yes, sometimes they even offer to do it for me. Take notes. Allen, the auto […]
Brain washing, outside polygamist cults, is an underrated and legitimate method with some great applications.
Potty training would be one of them.
Call me crazy - I’m sure half of you will, but that would be no different than any other day - I’m trying to potty train my 2-year-old son.
For his second birthday we gave him […]
Marcus Buckingham is a leading career counselor and he’s offering a FREE career workshop to help people take charge of their work-life balance.
I’ve taken the first 4 courses, watching 15-20 minutes of a classroom lecture and then filling in a workbook about your own career realities and goals.
I’ve found his perspective to be refreshing.
One of […]
Food Inflation (click on the link and watch a Business Week video explaining causes of food inflation in a pop up).
Been to the grocery store yet this week?
It made me nostalgic for last week. . . last month . . . last year.
The price of wheat has gone up 80-something percent and now retailers […]
