September 14, 2009 By Cherie Lowe

Greetings fair Lords and Ladies . . . so it’s been awhile since I’ve caught you up on all of the news that is news around the Queendom.  I thought I’d take a few minutes this morning to fill you in before we attack the new bargains and deals of the week and talk about how you can save money and live a little more thriftily.

  • For those of you wondering about my achin’ back, the news is that there’s really no new news.  It’s certainly not 100% better, it’s not really worse, and those weirdo little fibroid things are still there under the surface.  Gross, I know.  So I spend my fair share of time hobbling around the house and moaning and groaning (and um, occasionally shouting an inappropriate expletive when a shooting pain hits).  It looks like the 5K in October is pretty much out of the question at this point unless we see a miracle of Biblical proportions.  *meh*.  It’s been more than a little hard to keep my head in the game when I’ve felt so crappy.  But I continue to play through the pain and hopefully by the end of the month, I’ll be singing a different tune.
  • Things are going well at Indy’s Queen of Free.  Thanks to all of you who’ve been out to visit my second home.  The balance of keeping house in two places is beginning to get a bit easier.  I wanted to request again that you be my eyes and ears if you live in or near the city of Indianapolis.  If you hear of a smashing free event or happening, please bring it to my attention by e-mailing me at thequeenoffree (at) gmail (dot) com  I would be most grateful!
  • Tonight, I’ll be giving away 3 Discover Indy Coupon Booklets yay!  Stay tuned for winners’ announcements around 8:30 PM tonight!
  • Speaking of winners, I still haven’t heard from Lady abcmomof3 and Lady Heidi who both won one day passes to Sam’s Club last week.  Please contact me by 10 AM tomorrow morning (9/15) or I’ll have to select someone else.  🙂  
  • I’ve got a Monday Meals Menu Plan all ready to post this AM, just for you.
And now, I should go and find out what that rattling in the living room is.  I have an unsettling feeling the Youngest Princess is up to something.  She’s always up to something, but I have a feeling this is a big something which begs the question why do I continue typing instead of getting up and seeing what’s she doing?  Can we say avoidance/denial?  Hmmm . . . anyone else out there like that?  You’d rather sit and hear the noises than actually get up and deal with them?  Or put another way, you’d rather put on your crown and close your eyes? Because you know when you see what has transpired, it might require more action than you really want to put forth and if you can be in the dark a little bit longer, then it’s ok.  No?  Ok maybe that’s just me.  Or maybe that’s just Monday.  Ahhh, and now little “PigPen” (it’s really unfair to continue to call her that since bath time has gotten MUCH better in the last couple of weeks) has come in and found me.  Regardless, it’s time to pay the piper and deal with the little person (I mean nurture, encourage, care for, and love upon my beautiful daughter.  Seriously, I do.).  Have a great Monday.

    Sorry you still aren’t 100% yet. Love the picture! Hope the youngest princess didn’t make too big of a mess. 🙂 Take care.

    Thanks so much Lady Jackie! It was only a few books off the bookshelf so luckily it didn’t take too much time to clean up!
