and bought, between the both of us,
about $47 worth of stuff for $4.00.
We used both our $10 coupon cards
plus they had some items marked
down from 30% to 55% which
helped even more to lower the prices!
After that we headed to my doctor's
appointment. I thought they were
doing another pap but they ended up
going in and cutting a pollup
(however you spell it)
off to send to the lab to see
if it was cancerous. More than likely
it is not but it's better to have it
checked out.
Stomach's feeling a little sore
as they didn't use anything to
numb the area they were cutting off.
I hate doctor's offices. Mom went
to the dentist Monday and it took
at least 2 hours, most of the time
spent was waiting. I go today and had
an appointment at 11:00 and didn't get
called back til almost 12:00!!
I spent this afternoon trying to figure
out how to install a surround. My head
is spinning and I got about as far as
hooking speakers up. Why can't anything
be easy to do? I read the directions
but it looked foreign to me. I can do
everything else except electronics, ahhh.
Mom and I managed to stop by a yard sale
today just up the street from here.
Seems a little odd to have one on a Thursday.
I bought:
-New black Haggar courderoy pants, tags still on it
for $60 (wowzer!!!) for .50 cents
-Victoria Secret nightgown .50 cents
-Pink lace leggins .50 cents
-Pair of shorts for Christopher .50 cents
Patiently waiting for tomorrow to get here
to go to the church sale I've been talking
about.

Last night I read the entire book,
Clara's Kitchen. It was interesting
learning about what life was like
during the depression and what they
ate and did to survive. Some of the recipes
seemed a little weird but I guess
if that's all you have, weird is better
than starving. I always wondered who
decided what we should eat with certain
meals. And who decided what foods were
considered breakfast foods. Why do we only
eat them that time of day??? I say eat
what you want, when you want, and with
whatever you want! Food is food!!
And it sure fills your belly no matter
what it may be mixed with or what sides
you serve as long as it tastes good.
YOU set your own ways and don't do something
just because that's what everyone else does!
Be your own person and your own family.
Have your own uniqueness about you instead
of keeping up with the Joneses. If we were
all alike this world would be such a boring place!

Here's a thought for ya.
Yesterday I'm standing in line at the customer
service desk at Walmart. I'm watching people return items
and saw one lady was returning a pack of toilet paper.
That was different!! It was a simple pack of Angel
Soft toilet paper, probably the cheapest you could
buy without buying store brand. I just don't think
I could stand in line of about 10 people to return
TOILET PAPER! Who returns toilet paper???
Another lady, who was heavy set, was returning
a couple of stair steppers. Hmmmm, the New Year's
Resolution not working for her. Walmart is a crazy
place filled with a lot of interesting people.
Ya gotta do something while standing in line
so you start looking around to see what others
are doing, buying or returning.
It makes you wonder about others.
In Aldi's yesterday the man behind us at the checkout
bought, and yes I quickly counted this in my head,
8 DOZEN cans of spinach and about 20 boxes of instant
potatoes. I don't know if he wanted to be like Popeye
or what.
