I have written some – and have published none

I was stunned -and somewhat amused- by the number of posts I started writing but never published on my blog. Some of them are just thoughts, ramblings, speculations, dreams, and wishes, while others are biased and opinionated pieces in the making.

The Running Slippers

The other day a shoe ran by me -it had a puppy attached. The sliding glass door was open, it all happened so quickly. Still trying to wake up, I wasn’t fast enough, or perhaps I took my time, after all, it wasn’t my shoe.

That Shrinking Feeling

“It was two for $5” and he proudly handed me the small bags, each filled with 8 oz of shredded cheddar cheese. “Did they come with a magnifier?” I joked because lately, I don’t know what else to do. What sounded like a good deal, wasn’t a good deal at all. Instead of the old 16 oz packages, we have now two miniature cheese packets in our fridge. The price stayed the same, just the quantity was reduced by 50%.

Slow Blogging – Or just another useless blogging advice?

There is a new trend in the blogging scene. So it’s not that new, it’s been around for so long that it’s even been reported in the media. But I have the feeling lately more and more bloggers are joining the movement and are blogging about it as well. What am I talking about? Slow Blogging! 

100 Money Stretcher – #2 Be the Valued Customer

“Thank you for being a valued customer.” Haven’t we all heard this line a hundred times? They say we are VALUED but the truth is we often pay more than the new customers, who get the bait deals we see offered online or on TV. Valued customer? What does that even mean?

Milk & Marriage

My husband disappointed me quite a bit throughout our marriage, especially during our first years as husband and wife. He was not the mindreader I needed him to be. He, just like me, had envisioned how married life would be, and as so often, some of our dreams were shattered by reality.

Blogging Suicide or Honesty?

Just in case you don’t know me. Let me introduce myself. I am Bridget, the scribbler of The Happy Quitter, and for sure the only blogger out there who asks people to unfollow my blog. Yep! I did that already a few times throughout the years, and this week I did it again.

Morning Laugh with Robin Williams

Every morning before I start my day, I try to chuckle or smile for a few minutes. I get a cup of coffee or a smoothie, I go to my desk and I search Youtube videos. Laughter is the best treatment to deal with the harsh reality of our everyday lives and all the negativity around us. Laughter makes life easier!

Leave the Lamb Alone

I wanted to surprise my husband with a special dinner and when I searched for the recipe I had in mind, I thought about all the cooking blogs I follow. Sure enough, I would find what I was looking for.

January! First Months of Change and Purpose?

January, the first month of the year is already gone, and it was an eventful one. Have I accomplished anything on my list of 12 Months of Change and Purpose? Yes, I have, not always by choice, but by luck.
