We’ve finally moved on to the drywall phase of our upstairs bedroom renovation project — aka Operation Knotty Pine — and it’s been a long time coming, five months after we first gutted [...] Posted by Nicole on April 28, 2010 at 9:15 am In high school, I was an above-average student. I wasn’t at the tippy-top of the class, but I did manage to graduate 18th out of 238 students, even though I only enrolled in half of the honors and Advanced Placement courses that my peers took. While I wouldn’t advocate this route for my own children, [...] Posted by Nicole on April 26, 2010 at 8:12 am By day, I’m a laser-focused copy editor. By night, I’m a writer who spends her free time interviewing local advertisers or punching up dull website copy. Blogging has also become a “job,” in that I spend some of my free waking moments thinking of new topics to write about and preparing posts for publication.

Mr. Saver has gotten the brunt of it, unfortunately. We’ve tried the usual home remedies for nausea: warm ginger ale, [...] Posted by Nicole on April 18, 2010 at 4:50 pm My spending was pretty low this week. I managed to get in two workouts in the past three days. I did skip one day to go to Target with a friend at lunchtime, in the hopes of snagging a new pair of capris or two for $15 each. Unfortunately for my wardrobe (but fortunately for [...] Posted by Nicole on April 16, 2010 at 7:45 am Fix-It Friday is an occasional series that details the projects I’ve done around the house. Check out some past posts here and here. I’ve been pretty stingy with the spending for our home improvement expenses.
