Shoot. I waited to long to take the bins to the curb. It's dark (and cold) out there.

Denise's Stockpile

On January 18,2011, I saw a post by Family Frugal about Mr Coupon and his appearance on TLC's Extreme Couponing special. This piqued my interest, and I started exploring the world of coupon bloggers. After a week of digging around in their part of the blogosphere, I had a brilliant idea -- I would become an extreme couponer and I'd blog about it! I was picturing a funny series of three or four posts, most of which would be rambling funny pieces about not being able to manage a complete grocery shopping trip (20 minutes in a grocery store and I was ready to ditch the cart and leave) or public arguments between me and my partner about stockpiling. I was going for humor. Or I thought I was.  Read more >

I came so close to crossing off all 10 of my To Dos in January. I'm going to work hard to get all 10 crossed off this month. Seriously. I'm going to DO IT! Here's my list: 1) Straighten up the bookshelves. 2) Read at least five books for my reading challenges. 3) Talk to Haldechick about a custom piece. 4) Go couponing at Menards. 5) Clean out the medicine cabinet. 6) Figure out when I'm going to Hawaii. 7) Clean out the cabinets/shelves in my desk.  Read more >

I Quit! (And I Feel Bad About It.)

1/17/12 1:34pm by Denise in BlogHer Book Chat Comments (84)
  • Discussion

I quit my first book for 2012 last night. I'm kind of freaked out about that. Until pretty recently, I never quit a book - no matter how much I disliked it or how little I was enjoying it. I'd soldier through it 'til the end, (and gripe a lot about it all the way through.) A few years ago, I quit a book. And then I quit another one. And before I knew it, I was quitting two or three a year.  Read more >

About Me: 

As the BlogHer.com Community Manager, I have the most awesome job in the entire world. I get to wander around the internets and read YOUR blog and talk to you all day on Chatter, Twitter and Facebook. I answer a lot of email, too. (You can always reach me at denise@blogher.com if you have BlogHer related questions, though asking on Chatter is often a wee bit quicker.)

I have the most awesome family in the world too.

My partner and I live in the Chicagoland suburbs (which is not the most awesome place in the world to live) with threefour of our six kids. (The other three are all grown up and living on their own.) My partner's mom (and her little dog too) lives with us as well.


Besides the dog, we have a very loud cockatiel who we're hoping will move out when the middle child goes to college and we have three prairie dogs. Yes, prairie dogs. You can follow their exploits at Prairie Dog Digest.

I read a lot, but not as much as my partner does, and the only TV I watch is Survivor. Now if Buffy or Gilmore Girls returned to TV....
