Miss Lori and TJ Maxx want you to save some money and save the children while back to school shopping
August 31, 2011 By Leave a Comment
This is my last week of Summer. It’s also the first week I have even allowed myself to think about my kids’ going back to school. It chokes me up just writing about it. I am so sad to see my kids transition out of Summer, because I won’t get to see them as much with their busy school year calendars. But I am most upset that back to school means back to school shopping. Something at the top of my HATE list. AHHHHH! [Read more...]

Miss Lori honors all who serve this Memorial Day
May 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I live as though I have no choice, in a time when choices abound.
I stay steady upon my course, while others move around.
I watch over people closely for they know not always what they need.
I do before I am asked. Anticipate, then exceed.
I swear my oath to freedom, make sacrifice my life,
so we all can live in peace, not ridiculed by strife.
I stand up, not with a gun to my head.
I stand up, proud with duty instead.
For if it’s got to be did, it’s got to be done.
No place to hide. No time to run.
I serve at the will of the people,
and consider this hallowed ground.
For it’s by the people, for the people,
that I am duty bound. [Read more...]

Miss Lori and her kids say the Chevy Tahoe Hybrid is a good fit
March 4, 2011 By 1 Comment
When we go to a store to buy something we want to try it on for size first. We’ll put on a pair of shoes and walk around the display a bit. We’ll try on a shirt and preen in front of a mirror. All to determine if the item we’re interested in is the right fit for us. But when we go to a dealership to buy a car is driving a car around the lot enough to know if that car fits us, and our life? The answer is no, not really. [Read more...]
Miss Lori gets high city gas mileage and a low carbon footrpint in the Chevy Tahoe Hybrid
February 26, 2011 By 2 Comments
Going into this week I knew what a Chevy was. I knew what a Tahoe was. But I wasn’t exactly sure what a Hybrid was. And I most definitely was not sure how a hybrid would work. So, I pulled out the manual and educated myself. With just a few pages of reading I realized that my Chevy Tahoe Hybrid was equipped to show me what I needed to know, in real time. [Read more...]

It is the beginning of the month a particularly tough time for those of us Living with NonCents. Too many bills, and not enough money to go around.
