I'm a grammar lover. I know. Nerd alert! Recently, I read a blog post about stuff. She said something like, "All of that stuff are . . . " It sounded funky, and I knew it was grammatically incorrect. Stuff is. That's the problem. We think of stuff as being plural. The stuff probably does consist of quite a few plural items. … [Read more...]
Building My Housekeeping Emergency Fund
I've mentioned before that we are Dave Ramsey geeks. Our last momentous achievement was building our emergency fund. It took a long time, the adjustment of our thinking, some sacrifices . . . but we reached our goal last May. Now, although we're officially on the next phase where we have our investments going full force again, we've been … [Read more...]

Reasons I Love Making My Bed
I used to be a die-hard what's-the-point-of-making-a-bed-when-you're-going-to-get-back-in-it-that-night advocate. I could argue my point, and feel completely justified. But when I started this deslobification process over a year ago, I began by making my bed. (Almost) every morning. I didn't know why, other than . . . that was what normal people … [Read more...]
A Short Post to Say I’m Not Posting Today
I'm rather surprised to be feeling worse instead of better today, so I'm going to bed. It's a rare day when I have no commitments other than dealing with ring-around-the-toilet, and I've decided that the ring can wait. … [Read more...]
Out of Sick Days
I'm out of sick days. Yesterday, I was full-on sick. I left church early, went to bed, and canceled some activities. Today, I'm feeling better, but far from 100%. Ideally, I probably need to take it easy and get some rest so I could fully recover. It's a great day for watching a movie with my daughter, or going through some papers that … [Read more...]
Quick Job, Quick Post
I didn't have much time today. My choices? Pretend I was doing very important bloggy-stuff on the computer, or see what I could do on another clutter spot in the office. The office . . . which I tend to think is fine because the floor is generally clear and it is so much better than it used to be pre-blog. But which, in truth, has had no … [Read more...]
Waiting for Friday
As someone who rarely (OK, never) thinks to check pockets before doing laundry, I wash my fair share of Kleenex. Therefore, since my bed is the folding spot, I end up with quite a few of those white doo-lollies seen in the bottom right corner of the above picture. Now, for me . . . that picture could totally be an after picture. It's in … [Read more...]
Don’t Lend Anything to Nony
Thanksgiving is coming. It's my year to host for my family. That means a minimum of 11 people spending the day here. Doing all sorts of crazy things like playing, looking for cooking utensils, watching football games, using bathrooms, etc. I'm excited to host, because I do love to have everyone all together. I love to invite people … [Read more...]
