If you’re anything like me, you never remember to take your multivitamins.  Sure we all know taking one a day is proven to increase your life expectancy (at least that’s the latest study)  - but what with kids, work, laundry and on and on it’s so easy to forget to take them. I for one […]

Well, it’s been nearly a week since I’ve started using glass bottles, and I must say the transition has been easier than anticipated. Sure I’ve broken one bottle, but that’s probably because I’ve been so used to not having to think about the plastic ones and needed a bit of retraining.
The glass bottles are about […]

Well, a few posts ago, I wrote about how I was trying to go green -or at least greener.  I’ve bought reusable bags for groceries and taken my own mug to Starbucks instead of using their cups.  Now that it’s nearly time to buy cleaning supplies again, my next step is going to be to […]

Howdy! Welcome to this week’s edition of Patience Therapy. I’ve decided this carnival will run on a bi-weekly basis until such time as my readership develops enough to warrant publishing it on a weekly basis. I’ve considered letting it go, but I’ve been enjoying everyone’s submissions so much I want to continue. So, if you’re […]

Well, it’s a sad day here.  My already precarious mood turned sour as I completed our taxes.  What I thought was going to be a banner year for refunds in our house is ending up with us owing more than we can handle.  Damn you Mr. Taxman!
Maybe I missed a gazillion deductions?  Thank goodness in […]
