Blogger Advice
I have recently discovered the need to e-mail some of my posts to the Frugal Bookworm. This is a test post to see how the formatting will look and how well the process works. With e-mail posting, I'll be able to post more often, especially from my phone! Stay tuned for more changes coming to the Frugal Bookworm!
Updated: I tried to enter html into my post, but it didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can use html with e-mailing my posts? Thanks!
10 Events that Should Be Included in the Olympics
I had originally written this post for a "10 on a Tuesday" blog. With our recent family chaos, however, I didn't get to post it. Here it is, delayed almost two weeks, but I hope you enjoy it!
Ten Events that Should be in the Olympics:
- Slip n’ Slide (see who has the best time on a slip n’ slide)
- Belly Flop (have the judges score people making belly flops in the pool)
- Guitar Hero (definitely requires finger dexterity)
- Wii Fit (if you’ve tried the balance games, you know why it should be an Olympic sport!)
- The Psycho Bunny game (ask my dog for more details)
- The Black Friday Mad Dash (you know what I mean!)
- Coupon Cutting Dash (who can cut out all the Sunday coupons the fastest)
- The Office Chair Spin-a-Thon (who can spin the most & the fastest without puking)
- The Pooper Scooper/ Pee Cleaner Award (again, ask my dog for details…after last week, I am so tired of cleaning up pee!)
- The Massage-a-Thon (an award for the best masseur…I volunteer to be a judge!)

The 30-Day Declutter Challenge


Thanks to the wisdom of my friend Niki at Free 2 Be Frugal, I found the 30 -Day Declutter Challenge at My Simpler Life. With the recent chaos at our house, I haven't been able to hit the group running (or rather, decluttering) from day one. I did make a list of thirty projects, however, and I'm going to commit to having those thirty projects done by the end of the month. This means I'll have to tackle ten projects a week for the rest of the month! I've only got four done, so I've got six more to do before I post my first entry this week! Yikes! I'd better go get to it! I hope you'll join me this Friday as I reveal how I did!
Coupons & Contests: Wet Ones
From the desk of the Frugal Bookworm...
In my e-mail today, I got an e-mail from Wet Ones. They're having a photo contest with a grand prize of $500 for gas and a portable GPS system! They want you to show them how to "Go Places. Cleaner." They also have a new coupon for $0.75 off Wet Ones. If you hit your back button, you can print twice!
