Wemt grocery shopping yesterday, thought that lasagana would be good tonight, also got the fixin's for sloopy joes, and chowmein.
Bought a photo album, they come now with acid free folders, no pvc's in them. And they're finally reasonably priced.
Found a lamp I want, it's all little tiny pearl like beads, and gets installed into an existing fixture. It's a cascading like, like a waterfalls, and creates "rainbows" of light when the sun hits it and also when it's turned on. Love this.
It was my only extravagant expenditure. A 20 dollar bill.
Today I'm re-couping from walking around that super Wal-Mart for 2 hours. Granted it's slow walking, still........alot at one time.
Have to change the bed linens, only have a few dishes to wash, the trash is already out, and then maybe do some dusting.
For sure I'll bake a pie today, maybe two of them :) one will be easy and the other, a peach, will be a lot of work. The peaches are fresh and need a crust from scratch. The cherry pie will have canned filling and a crust made from a no-bake mix.
I've been reading the blogs over at the old place and man, what a mess there. Am glad I pulled my articles and left. I can say I made the top 10 list and that's all I wanted to do towards the end.
The dingdong witch is back and I want no part of that scene!
Oh, saw a towel at Wal-Mart yesterday and it's so pretty, it's a delicious shade of rose! Not pink like, more like a cherry red, or pinky-red. Sweet. Almost a strawberry color.
My kid just made a batch of microwave popcorn and it smells like a movie theater in here. Speaking of which, my friend C. came over to see if I wanted to go to a movie and dinner yesterday. We ended up in a cafe about 5 miles from here and she had the jumbo shrimp plate and I had the burger plate. Thought it would be just a small burger and chips for $3.50, here it was a huge cheeseburger and fries and the pop for a dollar had re-fills! cheaper and better than McDonald's!
We then headed to the theater and saw the movie ""The Sentinel". Wow! quite the thriller! Mikael Douglas was good as the Secret Service guy, Kim Bassinger was forgettable as the president's wife. The guy that stole the show, imho, was the bad guy that shot up the place. He had a face that would scare the mafia bosses! We had the whole theater to ourselves, so unusal. Usually the theater is full of kids, teens and adults. Middle of the week it's empty. Gotta remember that! and cheap too. Just the darn treats are high priced.
the ice cream cones i got have a chocolate coated rim and are yummy :)

This is a test about love, and actually is how I am about love.
You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time.You tend to give more than take in relationships.You need your space and privacy. You don't like to be smothered.You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change.You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.

It's a gorgeous day here, sunshine, green grass, warming up nice.
Last night as the temperatures had dropped from 72 degrees to less than 42 degrees, in only 24 hours, I made homemade soup and man is it good! It was almost everything i needed to improve the evening.
I started with a chicken base to which I added celery tops and a carrot. Then I used just a touch of salt and fresh ground pepper, and decided since I love carrots that I'd go ballistic on them! added about 6 peeled and chopped carrots. Also used a meat bone for more flavor.
When it was almost done, after pulling the meat off the bone, I tossed in leftover California Blend vegetables, leftover chicken and rice soup, leftover mixed vegetables (frozen), and barley. I think this is one soup that would really sell in a cafe!
I've had it for supper last night and brunch today!
A dear friend sent me an email last night that brightened the night with it's message of love and caring. He'll probably never know how much it was needed. His timing is incredible.
Yesterday afternoon, on our way out to the garage, a new neighbor came over and introduced himself and he noticed me looking at is storage cubboard and now, LOL, it's in my living room! I told him yesterday to let me know what his wife wants for it, and he did when we got home from our trip. So today he brings it over, after asking first, wouldn't let me do the work myself. This is perfect for storing things that take up the precious little space in my tiny bedroom.
Today, well I have housework as usual, and want to spend time outside since we don't have enough of spring and summer to suit this warm weather person!
I am thinking about blogging about all the legal challenges I've undertaken and won, guess it would be a way of preserving what I've accomplished over the years. "They" say you can't beat city hall, believe me, you can. You just need to know how to start going about it! Scary? Naw. However......maybe I "should" have been....
I'm also thinking about blogging about really heavy duty stuff and if my relatives read this, they'd have a heart attack! What's the worst that can happen?
Oh where to start???

Good Morning
The grass is greening up, and already the trees are budding out. It's early morning here and it's still dark outside, looks like the moon is full. The wispy clouds are slowly drifting across the starry sky, giving it almost a Halloween appearance!
Last night I went to bed early as I was so tired out. I think I know what that's about and I can take care of that easily enough.
In about 2 weeks I'll have my next eye exam and also the dentist will start work on a lower partial for me. I'm very excited and happy about getting these teeth! The eye exam will determine if "I'm good to go" , hehehee just like that commercial, or if the left eye now needs to have that lens replaced.
Our home town has lost a couple of young men just this spring. One died due to horse play, him and his buddies were playfully pushing each other around and one guy hit him in the chest and he collapsed and died. Another young man died in a car accident, a middle-aged man was driving the wrong way on the freeway and hit him head-on. It's so wrong to lose our youth, they're our future. We lose a few young people every spring in car accidents, and then a few are lost in the winter to snowmobile tragedies.
I've been thinking about this avian flu thing and wondering how long it will take for it to mutate to humans. I don't know if I can pack in enough supplies between now and then, if it happens, so that I could stay home for 1-6 months. It it does mutate and there's a panedemic, I'd be so vunerable what with being auto-immune because of the RA. I know it wouldn't bother me to be house-bound, just would have to be ready for it.
It's now 6:01 a.m. those are my favorite numbers, that was my number at Morley Bus Company, which was who I worked for out of Forest Lake. That company was sold to National Bus Company, I believe they're out of Canada, and then sold to LaidLaw. John Morley was the origianal owner, along with his brother. When I had my MI in 91, us workers were in the process of starting a union.
My friend Ramona and I would go this tavern 2x a month, on payday, and have a drink then supper, then dance. Pretty soon another driver joined us, soon we gathering to complain about conditions at the company and we decided to form a union.
Eventually word leaked back to the supervisor, who was the boss's top helper, and he was appalled at how many were "out for a good time" on Friday nights......
After I got sick, the guys did get a union in place, and the owner sold the company. I'm glad now that my friend Ramona and I started the ball rolling as it provided the needed kick to get worker's rights established.

Well here it is, half past 1:00 p.m. and I have this wretched head-ache. I keep getting them daily. I hope that the eye exam later this month doesn't reveal that the cause of the headaches is my eyes. Yet that would leave my back the cause.
Had a nice birthday yesterday, my son gave me a hot rod, made by matchbox I think. It's a yellow 1934 coupe and also he gave me a can of Suisse Mocha coffee. He added a favorite candy bar of mine into the mix so I feel pretty darn special. My older sis called to wish me a happy birthday late yesterday afternoon and we talked for quite a while. She's 7 years older than me, loves to quilt, loves Golden Retrievers ( me too :)) and is as steady as they come.
It'll be good to see green grass coming up soon, feels like winter was just here, what with that snow storm 3 weeks ago! I can't hardly wait to get some flowers growing outside, for sure will have a hanging basket on the patio. I'd love to have a rose bush, just have never tried growing one before.
I'm pretty tired of being online, had my computer 5 years now and the excitement has worn thin.
I might just have spring fever, maybe am just anxious over having my teeth pulled this Tuesday, sure am edgy.
I'm ready now for some major life changes, and I've already had enough major changes in the past year and a half. I'm unsure whether to go through with my plans or just keep my feet planted awhile longer til I've ajusted to the new upper denture and am feeling a little better.
