Culturally-diversified bi-racial girl,
with a small diamond nose-ring
and a pretty smile
poses beside the words: “Women deserve better”.And I almost let her non-threatening grin begin to
infiltrate my psyche-
till I read the unlikely small-print at the bottom of the ad.

Alice asked the Chesire Cat, who was sitting in a tree, “What road do I take?”
The cat asked, “Where do you want to go?”
“I don’t know”, Alice answered.
“Then,” said the cat, “it really doesn’t matter, does it?”

This song makes me feel like I’ve swallowed rainbows…
Thanks to nichitastanescu for the translation of the lyrics into English:
I’m told that our lives aren’t worth much,
They pass like an instant, like wilting roses.

That you still loved me.
Well ? Could that be possible?
I’ve been trying really hard to avoid news that pisses me off and/ or upsets me lately. Dodging Glenn Beck’s lies, propaganda, histrionics, and nonsense on Reddit is like trying to walk on the beach and not end up with sand in your shoe…

With a lot of effort, I finally feel pretty good about my spending and overall finances. I have cut my credit card debt on three “regular” cards and four “store” cards in half this year.

Thanks to a recommendation from Dave, I signed up in December and couldn’t be happier. I did the opposite of what most sites and people suggest, in that I stopped using cash almost completely.

I’m so motivated that I only bought two shirts at the awesome sale over at

If you’re like me, you want to know when things are going on in the area, who some good local companies are, who is making an effort to go “green”, etc. When I moved here recently, I felt like finding these people/ companies/ groups on Twitter or Facebook was often like finding a needle in the haystack. I am working on compiling some of my favorites to help out others in the same predicament.
I’ve tried to focus on those that post somewhat regularly, post interesting content, and don’t over-post.
