Happy and Blue 2

Midge liked deals. A lot. She was the kind of person who would search endlessly through magazines and newspapers for deals. And she took advantage of all of them. Oh yes she did.

Midge’s motto was “A deal in mind saves nine” which makes no sense really but Midge was about deals, not sense. She was about saving a few cents though. And she often smelled scents if they were on sale and involved a product she might use.

Anyways, it was a typical Tuesday, like it is today. And Midge was looking to save money. Like she always did.

And today there was a sale on safety pins which she desperately needed. Two bags for the price of one. Two whole bags (more…)

I just started reading Beyond Blogging. I realize it’s been out for a while now but I was hoping I could just download it for free off a bit torrent site. That never happened so I paid for it. As should everyone. And no, I’m not going to share my copy for free either.

This book is amazing. Mike and Nathan did an excellent job with creating the book.
If you haven’t already read it I’d highly recommend it. And I don’t even have an affiliate link thingy on my site so I’m not making anything out of steering you to the product. (more…)

Canadians are nice.

But, when is being nice just annoying?

Being nice is annoying when we don’t mean it.

We really aren’t “sorry” when someone bumps into us in a mall or on the street. They make us mad. (more…)

Jenny had always had a cup of tea as soon as she woke up. Right after she went to the bathroom. And ate her breakfast. And did her housework. And finished watching a few soap operas, which really don’t have anything to do with singing opera, or using soap while singing opera for that matter, on her television.

But first thing in the morning, at about 2pm, she had a cup of tea.

So, it was quite a shock to Jenny when she went to get a tea bag from her tea bag holding thing and there weren’t any left.

“Auuuuggghhh!” said Jenny. “Where are all my tea bags?” (more…)
