A Little Under the Weather

I don't know how I am ever going to get my sleeping on track. I went to bed fairly early (for me) and dozed off watching TV. Kandi woke me up with a bark about 2:30 am. My arms were asleep, and I sat up on the edge of the bed for a while, then could not get back to sleep. There was a Luau at one, and I really had wanted to go. I was so "out of it" I just couldn't get it together to go. Today my elbow hurts, and I have a terrific headache. I never have headaches, so I don't know what's up with me, maybe just old age. It has been very hot and I have the ceiling fans going, so maybe that's what caused my headache.
 Pidge gave me a heads up about coupons. She says you can buy them on e-bay. I didn't know that! She gets only food coupons. Then fabgrandma.com has found a good one too, check out Deal Taker.com
Facebook has got me hooked! I have been on Facebook and Twitter several years. When I had a web store I could advertise on these sites, and I advertise my e-Bay sales on there now. I am hooked on playing Farmville, there are other games too I enjoy, but seem to go back to that one.  Well, now you know why I don't get things done!

Coupons?

It started last night, looking for grocery coupons. I didn't know there were so many "coupons" places out there! I did find Coupon Mom, as seen on Oprah. I signed up, and I signed up. Gee, they keep asking for my e-mail address. It is a great site, and if you go there, you will see many other good sites, such as free stuff. Of course, you have to sign up! I did find a few coupons for grocery items in my area. I am limited to grocery stores here. We have H.E.B, Kroger, Albertson, Wal Mart. You will find drug store coupons also. Great buys, and "free" stuff at CVS. Yea, I'm in to IT!
Speaking of  tomatoes, mine look like someone took a blow torch to it. When I got to thinking about it, I think they really did. When the big mowers come right by my patio, I think the heat from the exhaust got them.

Hanging pictures


Yesterday was a decorating day. Up the ladder, down the ladder, up the ladder. Trying to hang a few pictures. This one is a needlepoint my daughter,Geri made many years ago. She passed away in 1996, so you know all of her work is precious to me. 
I moped my bathroom floor, gathered my trash for today's pick up. I have a lot more "housework" than I want to do. Sure didn't have this much work in my rig. Today I can barely move. Going up and down the ladder sure messed up my back and hip. They keep telling me I am old, I keep saying, no, I am not!!

Busy day

 even though I did not get to sleep until about 4:00 am, I did get up about ten. The noise from the "mowers" sounded like they were in my bedroom! Seem like there is a lot of gardening going on around here. 

My tomatoes are looking good. The larger one is a "grape" and I planted it in Miracle Grow potting soil, the other one is a Patio and is supposed to do well in a pot. I didn't have enough Miracle Grow to fill the pot, so I topped it off with regular potting soil from the dollar store. Wonder if it will make a difference?
About a week ago I bathed my dog in a medicated dog shampoo and she stinks to high heaven. Couldn't stand it any longer, so I bathed her in Baby Shampoo. I usually use Johnsons' Baby shampoo anyway, but thought I would try the medicated as she was scratching. It did not help the scratching, she doesn't have any fleas or bugs. I use Frontline on her and have never seen any fleas or ticks. After her bath, I needed a bath! We always make a big mess. Then I washed the sheets, so, we are clean! 
I am tired and hungry, think I might have another cinnamon roll!

Here comes summer!

It seemed really hot to me today. Maybe it's the humidity. I went to Albertsons' today. They had some very good cinnamon rolls,four for one dollar, you just know I had to have one! No, no, but I did anyway. Very good sales. Upon return, you must enter the complex through a gate with either a key pad or remote. I always use the remote, but for some reason it wouldn't open the gate. So, I had to back that big truck all the way back around to get turned around to go though the gate with the key pad. That made me have to park at the rear of the complex. That's OK, it is just a little longer walk, but I can see my truck from my front windows.


I am talking to a lady that has a 2002 Roadtrek for sale! I hate to get my hopes up, but maybe just maybe everything will work out. The price is right, and not many miles. She is putting new a/c this week. I really need my truck for a while, so I can get the storage bldg. cleaned out. She is not in a hurry and neither am I. I explained to her I have to sell my truck before I can buy the van. If it doesn't work out, then it wasn't meant to be! Every thing works out for the best.
In today's mail was the travel information on Arkansas, and the Ozark Folk Center  State Park. Still want to go, but I think the only way I can will be with an RV. 
Doesn't hurt to dream, does it?
