Betty Be Blogging!
I still enjoy a good old fashioned bowel of cereal now and then. My goodness there are so many varieties of cereal these days, it is just blows my mind. But then we have a huge variety of just about everything in the grocery stores now a days. Frosted Mini Wheats are my all time favorite. They have a good amount of sugar on them (good thing, or else I wouldn’t be eating them) but everything else is good healthy ingredients.
Most nights I fall asleep with the TV on. I usually wake up in the middle of the night and can’t go back to sleep without the darn TV on. One of my favorite channels is The Comedy Channel. The show “Josh.O” just cracks me up and he is easy on the eyes as well. His big smile is great!
Sometimes he goes a bit too far my taste, but of course if and when that happens all I have to do is change the channel and find some thing else to entertain or bore me back to sleep.
A few months ago I was hearing of all the nasty germs that were found on the bottom of purses. I have been trying to keep up with keeping my purse’s bottom side a bit cleaner and not putting on the kitchen counter or dining room table. Now the big news is about how dirty our flip flops are and how they are finding all types of gross germs on them. Guess I’ll have to start paying better attention to my flip flops now, sigh………………..
As much as I hate germs I just don’t think I could put my flip flops in the dishwasher along with a load of dishes, that’s just wrong!
Spent so much time looking at the fresh fish counter that someone from the grocery store’s fish department actually came over and started talking to me. He asked if I was looking for anything special, and I told him I was looking for tilapia.
He pointed out the section of frozen fish that was displayed in a freezer section right next to the fresh fish counter. There a big bag of tilapia in the freezer, on sale for only $4.99 and he told me that the frozen was a better price than the fresh.
When I wrinkled up my nose at the idea of frozen instead of fresh, he explained that the fishermen catch the tilapia out on the water in big nets, and then they clean and flash freeze the fish right on board the boat. So, the frozen are actually fresher than the fresh ones that are taken back to port, cleaned on land and then put on a truck and driven for a couple of days to the stores. Isn’t that ironic? But it does make sense!
I have found that before purchasing certain merchandise and items online, that it is a good idea to go to Best online coupons.com and see what type of promotions are available. There is money to be saved for online shoppers, such as myself, with discount codes, free shipping, clearance outlets and coupons just waiting to be taken advantage of.
Right now there is a good amount of Women’s Clearance Apparel available, with shoes being my main interest this time of year. I really like the new styles of sandals that are all the rage, the Gladiator look is very popular and I have several summer outfits that I think will really look hot with a nice silver pair. PayLess and Finish Line are two of my favorite places to purchase shoes and right now they have several online promotions that have caught my attention.
I think I need to look into getting a shoe rack for my closet. I have so many shoes that I didn’t save the boxes for and now they are spilling out every time I open the door, and we can’t be having that happen over and over again. I’ve seen a commercial for a product that stores your shoes under the bed, that would be cool, but then I’d have to do something with all the stuff that is all ready under there along with a lot of dust bunnies!
Oh goodie, the weatherman is promising us more snow is on the way. I was really hoping for a mild winter this year, but it hasn’t been working out that way at all. This will be the 4th major snow storm this winter and we still possibly have 2 more months to go. Oh what I would give for it to be spring all ready.
More and more people are turning to home schooling their children for various reasons these days. I know several good folks that are taking their time to make sure that their kids get the right education that meets their requirements and satisfaction, it isn’t always about religion any more. I know back in my day the only people that were home schooled were being kept out of public schools for religious reasons and most people just didn’t understand that concept.
And now there is the Internet available for people to use to help home schoolers with all kinds of subjects and courses. I ran into co worker today that was busy printing out some adding fractions worksheets that she found online to give to her sister who is homeschooling her three kids. I didn’t give her any grief for using the copier, it’s to help with these kids education and who could possibly have an issue with that.
I have always enjoyed working with my hands. I grew up with several brothers and I found myself hanging around them and my dad a lot in the drive way and the garage watching them, learning from them and helping them work on various vehicles through out the years. I really think that I would have made a good mechanic or learned how to do paint and body work but things just didn’t work out that way, but I still enjoy hanging around and helping them when I can.
My one oldest brother is totally into and so very proud of his 2005 Ford Mustang and is looking at various body kits online that he plans on purchasing with his tax refund money. My first car was a 1967 Ford Mustang so I’ve always had a soft spot for the Mustang and I can’t wait to see which of the bodykits he decides on and I so plan on being there when he starts the work on it as soon as it is delivered. I’m sure my other brothers will be close by when the time comes and there will be a lot of hustle and bustle going on in the garage when the time comes. It sounds like a great way to spend a few days with family doing something that we all enjoy and will be proud of when all is said and done.
We got almost 6 inches of snow yesterday. It snowed all day and most of the evening. Most places are closed, people are staying inside and another storm is heading our way for next week end, arg……..I’m so sick of this winter weather, I’m so ready for spring. We haven’t had a decent weekend since before Thanksgiving and here it is almost February. Hopefully one more month and we will be done with it!
It is so easy to clip the Box Tops for Education coupons that are being put on more and more food items, I even found some on the package of toilet paper that I just recently purchased. Schools are desperate for funding, and this is a really easy way to raise money for our important education systems all over.
I think schools can earn 10 cents per label and that adds up quickly with the more people that participate. If you don’t have kids attending a school you can still clip them and give them to a friend, family member, neighbor, co worker or just drop them off at your local school that is convenient for you, it’s all good, and some teachers give extra credit for each label donated, it’s all good!
