Posted by Nicole on March 31, 2009 at 8:58 pm I’m heading into full-on wedding mode now, with less than two weeks to go. Hubby-to-be dropped off the big check today at the reception hall, I’m re-confirming all of our vendors and making final payments, and the place cards and seating chart are all ready to go. A friend of ours is making some kick-ass [...] Posted by Nicole on March 30, 2009 at 4:59 pm It sure seems so to me. There’s been a spate of shootings lately, with two happening over the weekend. One was at a North Carolina nursing home, where some sicko went in and shot dead 7 elderly patients and a nurse, and then 6 people died in a shooting in California last night, including a [...] Posted by Nicole on March 27, 2009 at 2:43 am Especially when you can get them over and over again! Hubby-to-be, the crazy TV watcher, reminded me that our 12-month promotional period was almost up — our next cable bill would jump if I didn’t take action, stat. A little background: Our cable package is the equivalent of a pizza with the works — full digital [...] Posted by Nicole on March 27, 2009 at 2:37 am Actually, it’s called the Tumbleweed Tiny House. My friend Rob left a link to the website in my comments and I’ve been meaning to bring it out to main blog status. The guy above, Jay Schafer, decided he wanted to have a little of an impact on the environment as possible when it came to [...] Posted by Nicole on March 26, 2009 at 11:00 am The one above, Misfit, who’s almost 2 and is still kitten-ish, is especially crazy. He runs around the house like a maniac, and sometimes literally tries to climb the walls (or the doorways). He also tries to “play” with our older cat, Krashy, 11, who wants nothing more than to be an only cat again. [...] Posted by Nicole on March 25, 2009 at 2:15 am So far, I’ve made my own card box and bought my shoes from Payless — so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I’ve made my own bridal purse, too. I made it from the same material that I used for the card box (check out the box here) back in October. It’s a little drawstring [...] Posted by Nicole on March 23, 2009 at 11:00 am Saturday’s mail delivery brought the good along with the bad. The good: A check for freelance work! The bad: A statement for the credit card I slapped the rest of our honeymoon on, and our PSE&G bill, back up to $200. I’ll be using the one to pay off the other. Naturally, the credit card payment is [...] Posted by Nicole on March 21, 2009 at 2:30 am My fiance sometimes gets embarassed because I’m perfectly willing to go to a nice restaurant with a “buy 1 entree, get 1 free” coupon — and use it. He doesn’t like to appear “cheap,” especially when it’s a place around town (not that we do that often anymore). I say, if the business publishes the [...] Posted by Nicole on March 20, 2009 at 11:00 am No, really — the IRS has a website where you can get an estimation of when you’ll be receiving your refund. Go to the Where’s My Refund subsite and plug in your Social Security number, filing status and the exact dollar amount of your refund, and if the IRS has received your tax return, it [...] Posted by Nicole on March 19, 2009 at 11:00 am Photo by Ian Britton/FreeFoto.com Sure, the allure of the little rectangular plastic things in your wallet cannot be denied. They’re shiny, colorful and hey, not REAL money at the time you swipe them at the store after buying $300 worth of cosmetics, right? Wrong! The easiest way to NOT use your credit cards? Cut them up.
