6-4-10

These are the things I got made up by 10AM
this morning. Been busy, busy, busy.

Got a chicken thrown in the crock for supper also
on top of everything else.

Freezing everything I can so it will stay
colder in the cooler when traveling.
Hotel has a microwave to warm things up.

Will have one cooler of food and one
cooler of pop.
Kroger has Pepsi 24 packs on sale for $3.99.
Or 24 packs of Big K for $3.99.

10:30AM

At the moment working on:

and macaroni & cheese.

11AM

Ya know what, since I am ahead somewhat
with getting everything ready, I think
I'll take me, the boys and grandma out
to a few yard sales to get out of the
house for a few.
Then come home and finish the last two
items (cookies and mac & cheese).
Then start laundry and packing clothes
later on this afternoon.

Tonight me and Tony will probably
start cutting up the scrap metal
to take over to the recycling place
Saturday morning.

So ta ta for now. Need the kids to
burn off some energy so I can
get things done later on.

1:30PM

Just back from yard sales.
I bought me 5 rings @ a buck a piece.
I know these are from Khol's as I
have one identical to the one I purchased
at this yard sale. They look brand new
with no scratches.
Ring #1
Goes for $12 new.
Ring #2
Goes for $28.00 new.
Ring #3
Goes for $22.00 new.
Couldn't find the other 2 on Khol's website.



At a church sale I found a rolling bag that
I will use on vacation for clothes and
toiletries. Paid $1.50.
This will help with my back that's for sure.




2 to 3:00PM

WHEAT SHELLS AND CHEESE
velveeta cheese with cream and butter.



BLACK RASPBERRY THUMBPRINT COOKIES

Looks like thunderstorms are starting to
form in central Ohio. Looking North
and it's dark up that way.
Praying for some nice weather during vacation.
Supposed to be high 70's and no rain
all 3 days. We'll see as the weather man
has been wrong.

4-5:00PM

I bought a swim suit and it was too big
on me. So I spent the last hour taking
it in on the sides and back. I took off
a total of 8 inches! I think it was a
size 18 and I needed a size 10 to 12.
I really liked the suit and hated to piss it
away so tried my hand at altering it.
It didn't turn out too bad. At least
now it's not hanging off me in places, lol.
It's a 2 piece suit. The bottom looks like
a skirt.

6:15PM

I'm gonna be sooo ready for bed tonight!

Just finished supper...
chicken, rice, stuffing, corn.

Starting to cut up scrap metal.
Me and Tony like to play a guessing game
as to how much the metal is worth before
taking it in. We both guessed $80 so
will see tomorrow morning.
We scrap brass, aluminum and copper.

Still need to mow grass
and go to Kroger to get some pop.
