Tuesday Secrets
Last week I was getting onto a streetcar to head home when the guy in front of me on the steps stopped abruptly. He was wearing some kind of messenger bag and my face scraped right up against it. I thought nothing of it, but when I got home and saw my face I realized…

Vacation Notice
Well, I’m officially on vacation as of Saturday. I’ve got a few scheduled posts but have been a bit lazy and don’t have one every day. Sorry. It’s not like I post every day anyway, why, that would make me consistant! The horror! I hope everyone has a happy Easter/Ostara/long weekend and I’ll be back…

Putting Things In Perspective
It seems that my Tuesday Secrets post (that I accidentally put up on Monday!) has hit home with a lot of people. I had no idea that so many others felt the same way I do, and it got me thinking. From the comments, it seems that a lot of us harbour regrets about either…

RuMe Bags!
I don’t really know how it started, but at some point I began getting tired of my reusable bags. I’ve got a decent collection of them, a couple of the recycled President’s Choice bags, one from the Metro grocery store, and a bunch with branding and logo on them–the kind you get for free a…

No Spend Days!
There is a PF blogger that I really admire, Canadian Saver over at Saving4Later. She’s really good at keeping track of her daily expenses, budgeting and instituting No Spend and No Driving days. I’ve been trying to incorporate a few of her methods into my own life recently, especially as I try to frantically save…
