Desert Deals Diva –> Desert Chica Ramblings

May 17, 2012 · 2 comments

Hello everyone!!

I am excited to announce that my blog name is switching to Desert Chica Ramblings.

As some of you know I started a 2nd blog last year, Chica Ramblings and I really enjoyed writing over there. However managing two blogs didn’t make sense for me so I decided to combine them together.

Desert Deals Diva + Chica Ramblings = Desert Chica Ramblings

Desert Chica Ramblings will still located here at www.desertdealsdiva.com for now but I will be moving it over to www.desertchicaramblings at some point. Don’t worry, I’ll let you know when I do.

If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you. Truly!

And please keep in mind that the design set up is still in progress… so don’t mind the dust! Smile

Things I would like to Delete.

May 15, 2012 · 2 comments

Better late than never.

This week’s Listicle is all about things I would like to delete.

1. The calories in cupcakes. I could eat one with every meal!

2. 15-20 lbs that I really don’t need. See #1.

3. The chemicals in Diet Coke. I would feel less guilty about my addiction.

4. My sweet tooth, it would take care of #1, #2 and #3!

5. Buddy’s pee and snot. It’s so gross I wish I could make it evaporate!

6. Stupid malware and computer viruses. I am so happy my blog is fixed but why do people waste their time creating such nastiness?

7. Cancer and every other serious illness that has affected my family.

8. My mortgage and student loan payments.

9. 50% of my little guys’ toys. Guilt Free.

10. Ingrown toe nails.

What would love to delete?
