Hello! After lurking through countless frugal living blogs I have decided to join in and make my voice heard. I am a great admirer of the numerous mommy blogs out there for their dedication to living within their means and managing a household creatively with minimal funds. The only problem is that I am not a mommy, not a suburban housewife, not a homeschooler, and am in recovery from being a Baptist most of my life. I am married, living in the inner-city in a renovated church, with two dogs, two cats, a wonderful husband, a 50/hour per week job, a real estate business that is on the skids, and a new Zoloft prescription which will hopefully help me keep it all together. I am dedicated to squeezing every nickel I can while keeping my business afloat and making it to work on time. Sadly, I love good food, decent wine, travel, cable, the Sunday New York Times, going out with friends, shoes and really nice purses which makes the frugality tough. I am blessed with a good marriage, decent health, wonderful friends and family, and a chunk of extra weight so that I'll be the last to starve when the bad times really kick in. Enjoy and please join in as I go on this blog journey.
