I think I’ve discovered the perfect diet: Cockroaches. (No no no…. You don’t eat them. You see them.) Yesterday, having finally wrenched myself away from the computer to eat, I walked into the kitchen and saw three big, fat roaches scurry away. And some lil ‘uns too. I guess it was a family outing. Ick. It took me a full 40 minutes to regain any semblance of appetite. I think if we stopped doing dishes completely, I could lose 10 lbs, easy!  Read more >

Dear retailers...

This has to stop. Frankly, it's getting embarrassing for everyone involved. Look, you know, deep in your hearts, that the relationship is over. That you and consumers haven't really been in sync for awhile now. They're pulling away, cutting back. You barely see them anymore. And when they are there, they don't stay long or spend much. I can only imagine how scary that must be for you, watching them grow more distant with each passing day (and industry collapse).  Read more >

Forget respect. I'll just take some responsibility!

I feel as though I am beating a dead horse -- apologies to PETA -- but I just can't over how many people in this country act like truculent teens. When you confront a teen about a mistake, chances are that they'll apologize in a half-hearted way (if they bother at all). Then they want you to clean it up for them. Because, after all, they're still just kids, right? If you try to make them understand the gravity of the mistake, they roll their eyes. Exasperation.  Read more >

About Me: 

After a long, four-year slog, we will be out of debt in just a couple of months. Up until recently, we never made over $40,000. I'm trying to get used to the idea of "extra money." It's weird. But in a nice way.

Otherwise, you can find me talking about dealing with depression, accepting yourself as is, being frugal or whatever random tangent my maind takes me on that day.
