Yakezie Carnival Round-Up
Many months have past since I last hosted the last Yakezie Carnival. Though I had the date tentatively set in my mind, I sort of forgot it was my turn to host this month! Must be all that turkey tryptophan that’s clouding my mind. So without further adieu, here is a smattering of some of my Yakezie comrades (working my way up the ladder here, a follow-up carnival will be needed!): UPDATE: I realize I missed my one and only carnival submission via email! So, so sorry, Neal! Here it...

I can’t tell you how much I’m looking to this whole next week off – thank goodness for furlough days! Of course, I have a million things to do, but not having to get up at the crack of dawn and go, go, go for hours on end (while still trying to recover from bronchitis) leaves me with a great feeling of relief.

Roshawn makes a good point that a tax increase for the wealthy may not solve our...
Read MoreRecipe and Roundup for a Monday
As I’ve been struggling with a hectic schedule these past two weeks, I’ve not had nearly enough time to read through all of my favorite blogs. So, this past weekend I decided to do some catching up while eating my favorite, easy to make, dish: Cowboy Caviar and Tortilla Chips. Yum! If my husband ever allowed me near the kitchen, I could admit to making this recipe myself. However, since I’ve been told that I’m not allowed to handle a sharp knife or can-opener, I can only...
Read MoreExtreme Behavior to Save a Buck or Two
It’s funny that I seem to stress over the little things (I guess I should catch up on my reading over at Sweating the Big Stuff!). For instance, I normally won’t pay for an annual parking pass at the local university. I’m only there one day a week, so why should I bother spending over $300 on an annual parking permit? Obviously, that’s a no-brainer. However, on a day to day $7.00 rate, even if I drove to school over the next 11 weeks, I’d only spend $77.00. But...
