11:55am
Got up this morning and made
everyone some blueberry pancakes.
Then got started on lunch
and supper.
Boiled up a big pot of potatoes.
Peeled then cubed.
Took about 1/3rd of the potatoes
and mashed them up with a fork.
In another large pot I fried up
a pound of maple sausage with
a small chopped up onion.
I then added 1 can of chicken broth,
2 packets country gravy and 1 cup of
water.
I then stirred this soupy mix
into the cubed potatoes
and then stirred in the mashed
potatoes.
Optional: add broccoli
and cheese.
2/3rds a bag of potatoes $1.86
1 pound maple sausage $1.49
1 small onion .20 cents
2 packages country gravy mix $1.00
1 can chicken broth .49 cents
Total cost: $5.04
makes about 10 servings
@ .50 cents a serving.

We're sitting here discussing
possible vegetable & fruit shortages
this year with increases in prices.
This is due to the colder weather
in the Southern states & Mexico.
So now's the time to start planning
your garden and stocking up
on seeds if you didn't collect them
last year from your plants.
My garden area is now a parking place
for car(s). I have been talking about
doing container gardening in
5 gallon paint buckets,
this way I won't have to dig up
any of the yard.
Plus buckets you can move anywhere
you want unlike a garden once
planted.
Here's a picture to give you an idea
of what tomato container gardens
look like.
container gardening from flower pots,
flower boxes, pails, hanging baskets and what not.

3:00pm
Went out for a few.
One of the places we visited was called
Buybacks Entertainment
2600 East Dublin Granville Road,
Columbus, OH 43231
(614) 891-1265
I haven't visited this place
before because I thought it was
something we couldn't afford, I was wrong.
It's in Columbus Square Shopping Center.
DVD's were an average price of $3.99.
CD's were $1.00 but
buy 10 and they are only $5.00
or .50 cents each.
They have TONS!!
VHS movies were .49 cents or $1.00.
I think it was buy 2 get 1 free.
We got 2 Nintendo DS
and a Playstation 2
games for $1.99 each.
When you buy 2 you get 1 free.
They have what they call
a bargain section where you can
get things cheap.
More recent movies, games or CD's
do cost more!
This will be someplace I will
shop this year for Christmas
that's for sure!!
We found an Xbox cord in a mark
down box for .50 cents but
the guy gave it to us for free!
-----------------------------
5:30pm
Colored my hair again.
My last color was almost washed out.
It's a non permanent color,
washes out after 28 shampoos.
-----------------------------------
8:50pm
We just got done watching the movie
Unstoppable.
We rented it earlier from Blockbuster.
We wanted to go to the theater last
weekend but couldn't because of
Jonathan's cough.
Then when I checked the listings
this week, Friday was the last
showing for it in the theaters.
I checked the Blockbuster Express
website and it wasn't in one those
machines yet. But I was able to find
it in the actual store to rent.
$3.29 to rent til Tuesday.
This was a really good movie
for anyone looking to rent a movie!!
It kept me on the edge of my seat
the whole time!
A good movie for train enthusiasts
like my son.
My son now no longer wishes
to be a train conductor, LOL!!
Made our living room like a theater
with the lights off and the surround
sound up. Sounded awesome!!

In tomorrow's coupon inserts I read
that there might be a coupon
for a free McDonalds
Fruit & Maple Oatmeal.
