Change the Way You Think

I told my brother I was thinking that it would be nice for boyfriend & I to save up at least $100,000 before we buy a house. It was just a thought. It would be nice not having to pay back ridiculous interest, at least on the $100,000. My brother scoffed & told me that it would be impossible. I think my brother needs to change the way he thinks. To save $100,000, you only need to put away $1000, 100 times. Or, $100, 1000 times. Or, have two incomes, & live on one. Think about it. Many, many families only have one income.  Read more >

Confession: Although I blog a lot about ways to save money, that doesn't mean I use all of them on a regular basis. Even I eat out at least once a week, & much much more if that counts fast food. I also frequently just don't have the patience to go to different groceries stores to get the best price, & I'd be lying if I said I don't buy some brand name items (Oreos!).The tips I post on my blog are, of course, good ways to save.  Read more >

I bet a lot of people will be annoyed by this post upon reading it, but I still need to talk about it because it's been weighing on my mind quite heavily. In English, during my first year of college, I had a rather progressive male teacher. To get us to think outside the box, he brought in a documentary about Disney. The documentary was about the stereotyping & prejiduce that Disney movies have historically portrayed. First of all - something that I am sure most of you have heard of - the lack of diversity in Disney Princesses.  Read more >

It seems as if every time I turn on the T.V, go into a store,or look at a newspaper I am accosted by gender stereotypes. There are the childrens' toy commercials which never show the fathers. There is the carpet cleaning commercials where the women is fretting over her mother in law coming over, god forbid her carpets are "dirty". There's the Bounty paper towel commercial, featuring the mom cleaning up after her messy kids. & that show, where Mom is constantly nagging her husband, chasing after the kids, cleaning, cooking, & lacking a career.  Read more >

About Me: 

I am women hear me ... blog?

Yes, that's right. I don't expect anyone to read my blog, but I find online journaling somehow more satisfying then paper.
The idea that somebody far, far away might find my blog & think "wow, this girl's a nutcase. I like her" (or some such variation) is extremely exciting, but in truth, I've been a writer since I was a wee kidlet.

So needless to say, I enjoy it. I also like to talk, so that helps.
