The smell of BBQ is in the air, the sound of children playing can be heard drifting from my windows throughout the day. It’s 11:00AM and I’m still in my bathrobe, and I’m working on Doubled Up. What is wrong with this picture!? I’m out of school!! Holy Cow! What am I going to do [...]

Where the heck have we been?

The musician and I have been in a whirlwind of activities since January. Violin lessons, and violin training for him and school school school for me. This has left our little project so poorly neglected and in need of care. Well… as a kick off of the new spring season, we bring you… an update! [...]
The Frugal Gym: April Showers

This is a post about running. I began running in college when I was low on funds, hated the small cramped smelly gym, and didn’t have a whole lot of time to work out… the solution, a pair of running shoes and some free pavement… I was on my way! Over the years I’ve ran [...]

I am moved to support our brothers and sisters in Haiti. Please find out all you can about what is going on, listen to NPR, read the news, check on Red Cross, World Vision, and many aid organizations that are providing direct support to the country. Even if you can send $5, $10 it will [...]

After 6 months of living in our small space, I have begun to feel a little cramped. Bad habits that have developed over a lifetime have crept back into my routine and I’m forgotten simple straightening techniques such as doing the dishes regularly, picking up my clothes after each evening, and clearing surfaces. In addition [...]

Phew! After a long and much needed holiday, the Musician and I are back! We were waylaid with my parents for a few extra days due to an unfortunate leakage in the water heater. The leak damaged our entire floor all the way down to the support beams. Oddly enough, we had reported the bowing [...]

Our first Thanksgiving was held in our trailer with our lovely family in addendance. We missed the Musician’s side in Boulder and my bro in Bloomington, but my sis and parents were here. We served a roast duck from Sam Woo Chinese deli along with traditional American sides (with a twist!)–gluten free cornbread stuffing, mashed [...]
Frugal Dilemmas: To buy or not to buy
Posted in Uncategorized on November 18, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I really like sewing. I think it’s relaxing and it’s a good way to combat the Marxian dilemma. Marx says that consumers are alienated from the worker’s labor–basically that when you purchase something, you don’t usually think of the person who put labor into making our garment. One way to combat this is simply to [...]
