A QUIET WEEKEND
The odds of going to the store for a loaf of bread and coming out with only a loaf of bread are three billion to one. ~Erma Bombeck JUST A LITTLE HUMOUR TO START WITH...WE CAN ALL USE A LITTLE CHUCKLE BUT I CAN SO...RELATE TO THIS QUOTE!!!LIFE HAS BEEN PRETTY SLOW THIS WEEKEND, NOT COMPLAINING JUST A FACT, OR AT LEAST SLOW FOR ME. SATURDAY I SPENT A GOOD PART OF THE DAY STIPPING FOUR COATS OF PAINT OF AN OLD CHAIR. IT IS IN GOOD SHAPE AND HAS SOME NICE SCROLL WORK ON THE BACK. IT WAS A FREEBIE FROM SNUFFLES, A FELLOW DS'ER. I AM GOING TO MAKE A PLANTER OUT OF IT. IT IS NICE AND DRY NOW SO I AM GOING TO SPRAT PAINT IT LAVENDER. I HAVE LAVENDER AND PURPLE WAVE PETUNIAS TO PUT IN IT. I'LL TAKE A PIC AND POST THE FINISHED PRODUCT. THEN I JUST DID SOME LIGHT WEEDING AND LAID IN THE SUN FOR A BIT. WENT TO BED EARLY TO CATCH UP ON SOME OF MY TAPED SHOWS.SUNDAY I SLEPT IN UNTIL 9:00. WOW, THAT IS VERY RARE!!! DROVE MY DAUGHTER TO WORK AND THEN HUBBY AND I WENT TO WALMART. I GOT A FOLDING TABLE TO USE FOR MY SEWING AND CRAFTS. I WILL USE IT IN MY DRESSING ROOM. THEN WE HAD TO GET GROCERIES. YES, WE CAME OUT WITH MORE THAN A LOAF OF BREAD!! IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME AT THE PRICE OF FOOD. WE EAT VERY WELL, FRESH VEGGIES, FRUIT ETC. BUT I WONDER HOW PEOPLE ON LOWER INCOMES WITH TWO AND THREE KIDS CAN AFFORD TO EAT HEALTHY!!WE CAME HOME AND PUT THE GROCERIES AWAY AND I TOOK THE TIME TO PURGE THE FRIDGE. THEN WE WATCH ABOUT HALF OF A LOUSY MOVIE. SO HERE I AM CATCHING UP ON JOURNALS.TOMORROW I HAVE A COUNSELLOR APPOINTMENT. I ENJOY GOING TO HER. WE HAVE GREAT SESSIONS. I ALSO HAVE TO SHOP FOR ONE OF MY CLIENTS. THEN I PLAN ON DOING SOME LIGHT HOUSEWORK WHILE IT IS A RAINY DAY. THEN I HOPE TO DO A FEW HEAD WRAPS.ANYWAY, AS YOU CAN SEE, NOTHING EARTHSHAKING IN MY LIFE AND THAT IS QUITE ALRIGHT BY ME!! NO DRAMA!!HOPE EVRYONE HAS A NICE SUNDAY AND THAT MONDAY BRINGS A BRIGHT BEGINNING TO YOUR WEEK. DEBBIE

I\'m glad your getting some sun. I\'m looking forward to seeing that chair when your done, sounds like it will be great.
Since you do so many projects maybe you can help me. I need to take up some old lenolim (sp) from the floor and it is being a real pain where the glue/paste was thick. I want to strip that stuff all off and then stain and wax the floor.
Poor people can\'t afford to eat healthy even when they are very aware of what that means they can\'t afford the right foods to do so and that is a shame.
I tend to combat shop, make a list and if something isn\'t on my list it had better be the sale of the centuary before I\'ll touch it but then spending most of my life shopping for a small army tends to create good habits but boy do I long for the days when I could fill my van for a couple hundred dollars. Now I\'m lucky to get a couple of bags for that.
