There are greamlins in the stores that put odd things in your cart....

That happens to you guys too??? I know it happens to me !!!

Happens to me more than you would think...I usually notice it at the check out counter.
Now I'm wondering if they pay someone to do it.....

well personally I thought perhaps "somebody" put it in my cart thinking it was their cart---but now you have me wondering....Think of the money that would make a store....

I think we have uncovered a conspiracy here......

Ladies, it doesn' take TOO much idiocy to buy things you didn't mean to buy --- it just takes a little!

I needed a new set of dry measuring cups AND a new set of spoons. I found the dry measuring cups right away at a fairly good price and tossed them in my cart. Then I went on the hunt for the spoons. They were ridiculously priced and I couldn't believe it -- all that $ for some plastic spoons?! As it turned out, the least expensive set was by Paula Dean and had these ugly roosters at the top of each handle and the bowl of the spoon was basket shaped. Yuck. But I needed them, so I bought them.

Got all the way back to my town, unpacked the bags took out my new dry measuring cups to clip the plastic tie off of them. Guess what?

There was an entire set of spoons nested in with the cups! I hadn't noticed they were there and so bought the set I didn't like and didn't even need. They refunded me today, YAY!

By the way, Cindy, it makes me nervous when you say you got tough news from the doctor! What is going on?

all prayers always

Well Mary- El that makes perfect sense to me... probably why I have 3 sets of measuring spoons right now in my drawer...LOL!
The storm never happened tonit .. at least not so far... so far so good.. really do not want a repeat of last night- that was the worst storm I can remember... never heard such loud and continuous thunder,and the lighting was just as continous, looked like daylight out there ...

Well off to get ready for bed.. will have boys all day tomorrow .. they have Jon working late so will feed them dinner too ... thinking oven fried chicken... ... some steamed veggies with cheese sauce for the boys.. and roasted red taters... may even make dessert...
well off to the pillow... nite all
Nana

I think Cindy is right----

and Cindy, I second what Merme says----& want to say we are here for ya if ya want or need....

merme---good for you, glad you found that you had bought a combined measuring set------great on getting the refund!!! YAY

Nana---glad things are working out so well---good for you!! sweet dreams !!!

me too, what Merme says....

But I never end up with something so useful as measuring spoons, it is usually chocolate that hops into my cart

glad the stoms didn't hit, Nana. Your guys had enough yesterday, saw the news on the piles of hail Denver had!!

Sleep tight all

Sweet dreams all. You are allowed to share some rain to my desert but I can live without the hail and tornadoes.

Yes, I agree with what Tina said--you can share yoiur rain but not that scary stuff..

G'nite everyone sweet dreams....

A very busy week is over. Next week looks to be just as busy. I will enjoy this weekend. In the warm months I only do laundry when it is cool so as not to heat my house up with the dryer. So late or very early. I did some this morning and will do more early tomorrow. Then it is stripping beds.

Late evening all, I had a dentist appointment today. Fillings and a root canal...need I say more?

oh my, I am so sorry--is that why you are up so late????

Good afternoon all.

Yes Carol, I was up all night...even the inside of my mouth is bruised.

Pouring rain here today...I need to read back and catch up. Missed yesterdays posts.

Oh my so sorry dear---Kisses to you

I am off to clean a few areas of my house and then start preparing some food for the family supper tonight.

This feeding 6 people is getting expensive--- but worth it, I do g et to see my kids this way after all.

I am sorry, Sunny. I hope it heals quickly.
Laundry for the day is done. That is about it for me.

well...I had a post here and was gonna edit it and I deleted it instead....guess because I'm just used to deleting posts...

Lock your poofing finger up, Cindy.

It's kinda a habit...
When Bill poofs spammers that have posted it messes the topic up, so to fix it I post in the topic (just a letter) then when it posts I delete the post, and it fixes the topic back.

Just talked to Rachel...Jeremy was outside building their Saturday fire on the patio. That sounds kinda nice...it's a beautiful night in Kentucky.

A fire sounds good. Smoke those skeeters out of the area.

yep that would be nice,----to have a fire AND get rid of the mosquitoes---

had a nice evening---I got to see my girls and go to the homecoming--

going to sleep soon--nite-nite

I'm heading to bed, too.
Nighty night.......

Good morning...

I used to love gathering around an outside fire with family as a child...nice memories.

UGH, having trouble with my lap top, just typed in my day yesterday, then my computer glitched, it had to "recover the tab" and my post was gone!

Anyway, had a busy day yesterday, got up early to help with Bountiful Baskets, then went to town (town being 40 miles away) for a meeting. Afterwards I went looking for a new soaker hose, couldn't find one like the ones I already have, but did find some Lupines. I've always wanted some so splurged! They are thick in the pots and was wondering if I should separate them a little when I plant them?? After all the running around by the time I got home yesterday evening I felt like wilted lettuce! Sat in my chair and watched TV till it was late enough to go to bed!

So Sorry about your root canal, Sunflowers, those are just awful.

We used to go camping all the time as a child and I was in Girl Scouts and we used to sit around the campfire and sing songs. When my mom passed that is what we did for her "funeral" Sat around a campfire, sang songs and shared fond memories, it was actuall quite wonderful!

Time to get my day started, have a Wonderful Sunday

Good morning. Pretty windy outdoors. I am thinking other than watering that indoor work will get done today.
That does sound like a wonderful way to remember your mother, Bobbi. And similar to what we did when my mother passed away. Only we did it in a local park.

I've laid in the chair since Thursday....now the week-end rest time is over and doctor appts start again tomorrow at 11am.

.....oh my I will be thinking of you..take care..

Safe travels, Cindy.
Good night all. I'm a pumpkin.

Good morning all...very foggy here.

The week end seemed to fly by. Lots of work to do this week..I have a shed that needs scraping and painting. I wish I had the extra money to just put siding on it .

Good morning. It is to be a very warm week. I am getting so picky in my old age. Do not like it too hot or too cold. I am very grateful that our nights are still cool for sleeping.

Good morning !! I am going to do some baking and then do some bookwork for my MIL---

it is supposed to warm up here this week too---oh joy---NOT.

Keep safe, Carol. It has been a very weird weather year.

Storm/Rain is over----we got about 9/10 of an inch--
temp. is a nice 70*F outside.

Sounds like the south east is washing away. Keep safe all.

what did you end up doing with the lupines? Take a picture.

Got half the shed painted..ran out of paint.

Nice to see you Sheri.

I tried to get as much of my needed running around as I could today. Tomorrow it is an oil change for my van. Want to keep my mph at optimum. I have done nothing outdoors except water.
Now I am counting the minutes until my hair is dry enough to lay it on my pillow. And to put my kid to bed.

I hope your hair drys soon Tina--night night.
