            <description><![CDATA[The Helpless Housewife, Ruth Haesemeyer, right, loves the holidays –except for the five to ten pounds she takes away from them. But registered and licensed dietitian Susan Zeff says there are ways to take the fat but not the flavor out of favorite Thanksgiving dishes. Visit Susan’s kitchen with the Helpless Housewife in a new video episode, coming Nov. 20.   <a href='http://neighborsgo.com/index.php?page_id=1000&site_page_id=301&sblog_id=270&post_id=17545'>(more)</a>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[My car is dead. It was quick and painless –I drove it to the
shop, they told me not to drive it home. 

So my husband Matt says he wants to get me a car. He says he
wants it to be exciting for me –like Christmas. 

I told him what car would be Christmas for me. 

He said he didn’t mean that kind of Christmas –more one
where I was satisfied and happy. 

I’m pretty sure that’s Thanksgiving.***P.S. Any tips on buying/agreeing on a car? <a href='http://neighborsgo.com/index.php?page_id=1000&site_page_id=301&sblog_id=270&post_id=16150'>(more)</a>]]></description>

It causes plants to shrivel as I walk through the nursery
section at Wal-Mart. It brought about the untimely end of two deserving,
low-maintenance houseplants. It is my black thumb of death, and it is a big
part of why I haven’t joined first lady Michelle Obama and a host of others by
planting a vegetable garden this year. 

Thankfully, Denton County Master Gardener Al Kirchhoff has
two very green thumbs and was willing to offer me some tips about starting a
successful vegetable garden.

            <description><![CDATA[The Helpless Housewife has misplaced her planner. She will return with updated events soon. 
My husband and I are on a strict, spend-as-little-as-possible budget for a while. This means no frivolous shopping. No eating out. No fun – so I thought.But I’ve been poking around on neighborsgo.com, and I’ve found lots of events that are both fun and free – and even our tiny budget has room for that.So here’s a list of a few free, upcoming events. If you know of others, post them here! I’ll update this every Friday.  <a href='http://neighborsgo.com/index.php?page_id=1000&site_page_id=301&sblog_id=270&post_id=13977'>(more)</a>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[As I’ve said before, my idea of budgeting is to buy shoes on
sale. I’m clueless about saving money –a problem that
grows as the economy shrinks. That’s why I was thrilled to learn ways to save on
groceries from the area-based Sisters of Savings, Cheryl Jackson and Lynette Shofner.

I’ve tried to make it work. It should. I love
accessories, vintage clothes, and looking just a tad unusual. Hats can be or do
all these things. But it never works out. <a href='http://neighborsgo.com/index.php?page_id=1000&site_page_id=301&sblog_id=270&post_id=13580'>(more)</a>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I’ve been a Helpless Housewife for a year and a half. I’ve burnt
at least one item from most food groups, grown dust bunnies the size of real
bunnies, and killed two houseplants. 



But in amongst the spilling, the shattering and the
not-cleaning, I’ve learned a few things.  <a href='http://neighborsgo.com/index.php?page_id=1000&site_page_id=301&sblog_id=270&post_id=13436'>(more)</a>]]></description>
