I guess I do things a bit different than some here as far as meal planning/shopping. We go to the store, see what is on sale or looks good and plan meals around that. There are a few things we do pick up regularly. We are heading to Walmart first today. Usually we go to Grocery Outlet(both of them) first. Next we will go…

The biggest box of treats goes to my former hubby-He gets a large Priority box packed full. I know he loves them and really looks forward to all of it-I know his favorites- Just wish shipping wasn't so expensive(and it isn't as expensive as what you have to pay to ship to Japan). His dad and his brothers also get boxes of…

Butter for $3 a pound- that is a sale here-runs about $5 a pound or more. Stocked up when they had it marked down at the Asian store. I use a LOT when the holidays come along with all the cracker toffee and caramel corn I make- each batch uses 2 sticks and I make a TON of each along with lots of other candies

make pickled okra!! I love okra any way but love mom's pickled okra so much. She made me a few jars of it after I was up last time. Not a holiday meal for me without some. Sad when I checked the cupboard on Christmas and there were none.

we were without our main fridge working correctly for 3 weeks! We did loose a lot but because I am a very frugal shopper- A lot of our groceries are from Grocery Outlets(we have 5 within 20 minutes of us-two being right here in town). We only buy a few things at Safeway(where dh works), only when marked down or on sale. We…

did you send me a friend request today on FB? That is great, just want to make sure it is you.

I guess I am a part of the very small club that cuts their own hair. Last time I had it cut at a shop was 10 yrs ago. Mine is very long and curly so I put it in a braid, cut the bottom inch or so off and call it good. With it so curly- can't tell if it isn't even. Having it in a braid makes it simple-one cut and done- Did…

Had a great aqua zumba class last night- odd to be getting out of the pool with it almost dark(well past dusk for sure-they turned the lights on around the pool while we were still in class). With that, walking the wetlands and everything thing else- MFP says I burned just over 1000 calories, and I only ate 1100 I will…

Happy birthday Tracey- Hope you get to do something fun. Dh and I spent over two hours cleaning behind and inside of the dryer because after it started making a terrible squeak-first time it did that. Pulled it out and found the vent hose wasn't attached in the back so all that lint was behind it. Got it cleaned, wall…

spent the past few hours sorting all the stuff I had to move in the hall to get the fridge out/in. Tons of stuff for the daycare-puzzles, books, craft supplies,etc. I have three large (banana size boxes) full of stuff to drop off at a friends house who is having a garage sale on Saturday to benifit a local cat rescue group…

the fridge is here BUT- dh was so concerned about the width/depth of the new one that he forgot to check the height- He is now cutting off the trim on the bottom of the cabinets that are over the fridge. He is surprisingly calm about all of it- just got his saws out and trimmed it. Letting the fridge cool down before…

I wish they lasted like they used to too!! There is a small fridge at what was my mother in laws house(now my son and his fiance's place) that FIL bought USED way back in '62. Still running great, never have had a repairman needed with it.Son talked about getting rid of it when he was first moving in but now is glad he has…

I love my tank tops too. Especially when walking or zumba. Arms are not great but I am ok with them. Bras- even at home I wear one- at home they are light cotton and comfy- otherwise it is sports bras- in class- extra support sports bras. If I don't, I tend to get a heat rash under the girls which is very uncomfortable.

Quick update on the fridge- worked great yesterday, got up this morning-ice is melting again then freezing so- called the repair man- they are refunding our total amount we paid because it didn't fix the problem and we went to Lowes and ordered a new one- It is coming tomorrow morning so I have spent this afternoon packing…

thanks for the reminder- checked in- not the number I was hoping for but not giving up. No, the fridge isn't fixed but it is better than it was. The freezer is still working half the time but not the rest- dh thinks now maybe it is the ice maker that isn't working right- makes ice then defrosts/melts then makes more. At…

I love iris but dont have any planted here. My great grandmother raised and hybridized them many years ago then my cousin and his wife moved in and did even more. He has passed away but his wife continues to do it and is also a judge all over the world at iris shows. https://wiki.irises.org/Main/Bio/HybridizerCaddAnnaDavid

dh said way back in January of 2020 that he thought that was the reason he didn't get Covid- he uses nasal spray daily. He said there is also something about taking Metformin that helps too- he does that too. He was the only one that didn't get it when we went up for Christmas. We didn't know that mom and dad both had it…

I was going to send a friend request but no spot to do that and no spot to send you a message.

They have actually known each other even longer than that. They went to school together. She was dating one of his friends but broke up with the other guy so she could date my son. They are all still friends. All of the friends he has(not a lot but enough) are all guys he went to school with since like first grade. All…

spoke too soon- freezer part is not working right again- they will be out tomorrow to work on it again. Glad we didn't go buy a bunch of food yet-was just heading out when dh went to get ice and found the ice melted.

Haven't heard it from my son but saw the post on FB by son's girlfriend that her status has changed to ENGAGED- They got engaged on her birthday(Sunday). We knew it was going to happen but haven't talked to him since then. They are 27 and dating for over 7 yrs. Super sweet girl- His very first girlfriend. Temp today will…

my dh woke up during one of his hip replacement surgeries- I think it was his third(yep, he has had 4 hip replacement surgeries-first two failed after less than 4 yrs). He said he felt them tugging on his leg, he told them he was awake and they put him back out. When he was done he asked the doctor two things- Did the…

Yes, that is HUGE progress for him- he stayed pretty calm for most of the dealings with this company He knows it wasn't the tech's fault. The company didn't tell him when the part came in. Just happy that it was fixed and we don't have to replace the fridge(and all the work that goes with that)

Got home from the show and the tech was waiting for us. He wanted to come earlier but we were still at the show. He is still working on it- hopefully it doesn't take too much longer. DH and I have not eaten any real food all day- just a few snacks and both of us are very hungry- going to pick up food as soon as the guy…

Almost 10pm and the service tech never did call after dh called this morning when the fridge went out completely. The freezer part went out two weeks ago. They came out, ordered the part, said it would be here in 5 days. Dh called to see when they would be putting it in, never heard back. He assured dh that the fridge part…

We are planning our 45th in Oct. Hard to believe we have been out of high school that many years. Most of the time I don't even feel 45.

Thanks for the start of a new month Barbie

The yellow one is called Orange Accordian. I got the plant from a lady who was selling plants for $1 each. I planned to make some pico de gallo today with some of them but- right as I was getting to church(sat less than 5 min. DH messaged me to tell me the fridge went out. The freezer part of it went out two weeks ago but…

not seeing any spot to send a friend request on FB- will send a message and you can send one to me if you would like to. Debbie Napa Valley,CA

Just picked the first real picking of tomatoes- almost all of these are from just 3 plants.
