Lately I’ve been clipping coupons again. I usually clip coupons and let them expire before I ever think of using them. Our local newspaper has recently added coupons to their Sunday newspaper. I’m actually finding coupons of products I buy.
I don’t really file my coupons in my coupon holder. I try to put them [...]
For the past few weeks, our computer has been acting up. We have a bad harddrive, so I had just chalked it up to it and didn’t think too much more about it. Apparently it was more than the bad harddrive. We got an error message about a missing .DLL file. Well, that is easy [...]
Ants in the house can be quite annoying. It’s hard to get rid of the suckers. Ant spray kills those on contact but does little to get rid of the ant problem. In fact, using ant spray might cause ants to start new colonies. It is satisfying to kill those jokers on contact though.
So I [...]
I don’t think I shared what I got for Mother’s Day - a grill. We have only wanted one since we got married 15 years ago. It’s a small one and is charcoal not gas, but I prefer it that way.

The neat thing [...]
Have I mentioned how glad I am that Spring is here? Finally some sunshine, longer days, and warmer temps. We had been in full fledged cleaning mode the past few days. Family was coming in for a visit, so our place really, really needed cleaning. This winter has been cold and rough. Housework has fallen [...]
A few months ago, I got a kitten at a rummage sale. She was free and a Calico. I love Calico cats so I couldn’t resist. When we got her, she was flea-free. We plan to keep her that way.
We had a real problem with fleas when we had cats inside a few years ago. [...]
What do you do with an old particle board desk that has seen better days? I had temporarily set it on the porch until I could haul it off to the thrift store. Then the rain came and ruined it even more. I then noticed that the cat seemed to enjoy lying on it. We [...]
It’s the pitter patter of little feet that is not music to my ears. When it comes from inside the walls, I know the culprit is a mouse who will cause me unrest and grief until he is caught. So after hearing the mouse, I set a few mouse traps with peanut butter and peanuts. [...]
