As Promised

Alrighty, I’m back.  Hey there!  Did you miss me?  Probably not.  Anyway, in continuation of this morning’s post, here is the update on my name change, the Eye Candy, and a special announcement from yours truly.

Name Change Update:

First and foremost, thank you to everyone for making the switch from CheapButNotEasy.net to The CheapChick.com.  You are so kind to follow me around the Interwebs, as I roam about like a gypsy.  Also, if you haven’t had the chance yet, please update my link on your site to:

www.thecheapchick.com.

Thank you!  You are truly made of awesome.

Secondly, what to do about the remnants of Cheap But Not Easy?  I took a poll, and some folks want me to keep CBNE as a tagline, and some want me to dump it completely.  The advertising major in me thinks I should have one solid brand name, with one proven tagline.  Therefore, in keeping with my education (thank you, Drake University School of Journalism and Mass Communication), I am changing the overall web site name to:

The Cheap Chick, Your Frugal Living Expert.

Which means good-bye to Cheap But Not Easy.  You have served me well, and I will miss you.

If you are linked to my site on your site by Cheap But Not Easy, please feel free to keep that name or switch to The Cheap Chick – your choice.  My most awesome web developer and I will be changing the above header and graphic sometime after Memorial Day weekend.  So, as of June, it will be all Cheap Chick all the time.

Eye Candy Monday:

For those of you who visit with me from time to time, you know that Monday = Hot Men.  So, with no further ado, I give you:

Marton Csokas.  Who is hot, starred in Xena and LotR, is hot, hails from New Zealand, and in case you missed it?  Is hot.

SEE?

Told you so – he is HOT.  Look him up on IMDb.com.  You won’t be disappointed.

Last, But Not Least:

Some visitors to The Cheap Chick Empire have taken a particular interest in my dating life.  Probably because I write about it and how disastrous it is.  In fact, it has been so calamitous in the past, a few of you have asked if you can fix me up with someone you know – brother, uncle, best friend, boss, guy you met in Spin class, etc.  Because clearly, I do a pretty bad job of picking out men for myself.

However, in recent weeks I have been hanging out with a lovely young man who has asked to remain anonymous (No, not to protect his innocence – HAH.  He just doesn’t want me blogging about him).  And seeing as how I actually like this guy, I’ve honored his request – up until now, that is.  Which is why all I’m going to say on the matter is this; yes, there is a Cheap Dude, and yes, I am currently off the market.  But thank you for your kind attentions.  You are the embodiment of thoughtfulness, you are.
