I wish they had an emoticon here that was just two eyes and a straight mouth. I often feel neutral and hate saying I am frazzled!! LOL !


So today I went shopping for anew outfit for an event that my husband and I are going to at the House of Blues (Grand Opening). I just felt like I needed a little pick me up. We never go out in town

I think the key to frugal living is to allow yourself a treat every once in a while.

Aww I am so glad the kitty got some treats! Sometimes getting something for someone else actually makes our stress levels go down more than when we shop for ourselves....and pets are so good to us they deserve a treat!


I have to monitor how much reading of debt books I do - they are very helpful but often make me very stressed out! I am glad this one sounds uplifiting!

Hey, Kate,


When you finish that book would you let me know if you recommend it?

I agree with Kate - you have to treat yourself sometimes.

I know, I know... I've been waiting some days for my Elizabeth Warren book to arrive, just watched Maxed Out with the kids... wish I'd screened the 7 year old :( as there were parts I just had to honestly tell her I didn't want to explain as they were too sad.
