This Just Ain't Right

So, Reece (my too-cool-for-his-own-britches brother-in-law) told me about this website called People of Walmart and how candid pictures are taken of random (OR not so random) people and posted on the site.  I, for one, am not fond of the idea of taking unsolicited photos of others... but some of these pictures are so freakin hilarious, I'm making an exception.  Check it out and get ready for your face to hurt b/c you're laughing uncontrollably, wishing you were the one who had witnessed these people in person... or perhaps because you have been in their shoes before... or better yet b/c you wish you were in their shoes.  Okay, not really on that last one, but seriously snuggie and crocs?  It just doesn't get better than that.  I'm now on a mission.  Maybe I can bring back puffy bangs or the side ponytail. Oh the possibilities!

Real Simple

If you're like me, you're very practical and try to make as many uses possible out of as few items as necessary.  Buy things that have multiple purposes.  Definitely buy them on sale, discounted, or even "used."  The name of the game is, "Don't Spend That Dime."  (My favorite mother-in-law informed me today that I am difficult to Christmas shop for since there's not really anything I want and all cash gifts tend to go towards groceries and bills.  I'm just a very inexpensive, un-foofoo gal.  What can I say.)  So tonight, while I surf the web, waiting for my husband to get to work so we can email one another, I find this awesome article, "101 New Uses for Everyday Things."  Folks, this is right up my alley.  Check it out.  You'll definitely learn a penny-saving thing or two.  And be sure to browse through the website for other interesting things.  If you find something noteworthy, leave me a comment with the link so I can be sure to check it out.  Thanks!
