Terribly sorry to hear about your homeowner woes; I wish I had some sage advice to give you but I am not a homeowner and don't know of any recourse methods you may have in regard to this situation. Best of luck.

Beazer Homes - Designed to be your dream home but built to fall apart!

I feel like a jerk for telling you my woes on a day when there was so much rain and a few people have lost their homes but I must tell you what I’m going through right now.

Let’s talk about the slogan on the Beazer Homes Website: Designed to be your dream home. Built to stay that way. Holy Heck! My dreams must nightmares then!

Six years ago my husband bought a BRAND NEW Beazer home. In those six years we have had SIX major water problems/floods that were the cause of shoddy materials or workma… Continue

Holy Freakin' Crap, I Got In!

I cried three times today.

First, I was notified that I was no longer on the waitlist for Blogher and I get to go! So, I did what every blogger does when she hears good news, I cried. Then I wrote about it.

Second, the realization that I’ve taken more than a 50% pay cut since I applied for the waitlist hit me in the pit of my stomach. We can’t afford for me to go to Blogher. I did what every blogger does

"We found her out in the country curled up on the side of the road. She is a 3-5 month old shepherd/chow mix, very sweet. She is a very good listener, goes right outside and goes potty and will come right back to you. There have been people walking dogs and running by our house and she will look at them, but she will come right to me when I tell her to. She is just very sweet and is looking for a loving home. She does g… Continue

How to Keep a Friend Turned Mommy When You Aren't a Mommy

I don’t have young children. I don’t have children at all but my friends do. I think I’m a pretty good friend; I go to the mall and sit in the play area for hours just to get to talk to my friends, I tolerate crying, screaming children in my company as we shop for clothes, groceries, etc.
