You ever have those days where you have all these plans of what you’re going to do and suddenly it’s 5 p.m. and through events beyond your control you’ve done maybe one of those things? That was my day today.
My plan this morning: go to post office, Target, Publix, come home put away groceries, pay [...]

Considering we’re debating our house options now that it looks as though we may be staying in our area, rather than moving further afield thanks to the city my husband’s PD is in growing and expanding instead of stagnating. I’m starting to do more prepping and planning. This is one thing I’m good at because [...]

You know you watch too much ‘LOST’ when you get tagged for a meme about which five bloggers would you want with you on a desert island and your first thought is, “is this an island with or without a hatch?”
Anyway, East Coast Life tagged me for this meme.

No joy on cars today; but it worked out for the best there. We found something we could afford, and could pay off pretty quickly, but there was just something not right. My husband took it to our mechanic and found out that despite the fact we were in his jurisdiction the person who ran [...]

We’re hoping to be able to go and buy a car today. I don’t know if we will. I’m still looking at the money in the bank account, what’s coming out versus what’s coming in. Next week is rent week, and while I did win $5 off our rent yesterday because I finally remembered to [...]

I’m so grateful to all the fellow bloggers for all the help that they give to each other. I’ve found so many nifty widgets and things to help me to clean up my blog and also promote it better. I found Feedburner last night. I’d heard things about it, but it was seeing it in [...]

Cass is the writer of Cass’s Midlife Musings, Cass Knits and Digi-Cass. One thing that amazed me is that she’s the mother of eight children. I have one and can barely keep up. That takes some strength and patience, let me tell you.
As well as writing blogs, she also writes fiction pieces I’m quite caught [...]

I’m excited and also apprehensive about a prospect which came up a while ago. It slipped from my mind after my husband first mentioned it to me, and then with the stressful things which happened yesterday my mind brought it back up to me as a distraction.
What happened yesterday was that my mother-in-law was admitted [...]

My Mum and I are about to send in our N-400s to get our citizenship so we’re studying for the test. Here are some of the questions we have to study. How would you do?
1. What were the thirteen original states?
2. What are the three branches of our government?
3. Who is the Chief Justice of [...]
