I bought the large bag of chopped " safe to eat " Romaine at FreshCo, mainly cuz DH loves his Caesar salads. I ate some today and so far am ok....for now. Also what is up with fresh cauliflower? I saw it was $3.50 or something and then in next weeks flyers they have it for $1.88. I just buy the frozen bags of unblemished florets for $1.99 and I never have to worry about it going bad before I get to it.

oh yes! I always forget that you have the g'kids. We are still in that zone of just us and the last 2 hangers on living at home....lol.
I discovered a great cheat today! That special card Sobeys sent me, scan it 4 times spend $40.00 ea time, get 40 AM ea time, then a25 Am bonus on the 4th. So I had already done 2 shops on Blue Mon. no biggie BUT today I loaded $40.00 on a Sobeys GC, scanned that special card and GOT the 40 AM! So I loaded another Sobeys GC with $40.00 and this time I paid with the first GC I just bought!! ha ha ha

You are very welcome!!!

same for us. The kids had given us a variety of restaurant GC's and we still have a Red Lobster and The Keg left, plus 2 LCBO cards. DH still has 2 of his large Xmas bottles ( one Amaretto and one Crown Royal ) that are still over half full because he says he has very little craving for them. Funny how that happens?
When he gets in from work he says that the last thing he'd want to do is drink, so they sit untouched. ha ha

The part that is just so cute is the way their little brains connect things. She's quite smart. I had a dream of a day today!! I got an 8 x10 photo of Kevin Pillar autographed in person!! ( also got a Rona employee to snap a pic of me with him!! ) He was doing a 1 hour signing at Rona's in Scarborough today and I was so lucky after waiting in line for 1 1/2 hrs I got my turn! They did not let many in past me because his hour was already up and they were warning the remaining people in line that they had to cut it off.

you said it sister!! 39 and counting as they say! I put a losing 649 ticket in my DH card and wrote inside the card
" Seems I picked a loser! "....then under that I said " uh....I meant the 649 ticket " then under that I put " The only time I picked a winner was you!! "
DD laughed as he opened the card, grabbed the ticket and said " OH!! I got a lottery ticket! "
DD goes " read the card! " ha ha ha We are truly awful.

Hi! Sorry, just saw your message now! Glad you were able to get that deal on shoppers beauty boutique I love that lipgloss lol. Hope you are doing well too and enjoying your grandchildren My little guys have just turned 4 and 3, well 3 at the end of August. Crazy how time flies, but they are definitely keeping me busy!

I just love this give and take system we take part in....the things I am able to purge find a good home in someone else's life and vice versa. The place I go to also gives a discount card for donations which I think encourages people not to just dump things in the land fill. I only had to go out 2 times today, had my fill of sunshine from just that...lol.

a very Happy but belated 59th birthday wish to your hubby!!

oooohhhh nice!! Free swim...the best kind. especially in this dogged heat. We are anxiously awaiting DD's return from her w/e with her g/f's. I hate making myself worry, but when she does not pick up when I have called her cell a few times now......the panic starts!

oh truly that was a tragic thing to have happened. Our Saturday was kinda meh? My DS has managed to catch " something " His throat hurts to swallow and sounds like a nasty cold as well. Both DH and him are way bigger babies, our DD catches these types of things many times but still plows through her job, etc. He just looks like a lost puppy, I dare not ask him to do anything or he'll faint I am sure....lol
They call these " Man colds " I think.

it was Gordon Ramsey! I just remembered the name on our digital toasters....lol I cannot stand the guy, never watched any of his stupid screaming tantrums on his cooking shows ( once I viewed a clip ). There is a setting that can toast bagels on the cut side without cooking the outside side.
Also with my gluten free bread everything takes extra time to brown, I have to set it at #4 just to get an average brown colour.

you had a busy morning...ugh...... my sympathies to cleaning 3 (THREE! ) toilets though. You're a saint!

I look forward to seeing the movie on DVD when I can watch at home. I don't have to explain the book title to Mom so the plan is to have the house to myself to watch it (unless of course my laptop is repaired next month, then I can watch it where I like).

now THAT is the kind of thing I would line up for!! Fresh produce for free is the best. Congrats to you for getting in on that!!
I had a red faced moment at Metro this a.m. I walked into bakery area and asked the gal if there were any Father's Day cupcakes or 1/2 sized cakes I could get , she goes " well we might have some next week " and I said " why next week ? " It's because Father's Day is next week!! ha ha
Then we both laughed and I said " I'll see ya next week! " Just before that I had spent time and money at the Dollar store getting cards and gag gifts for DH thin king I was so late picking him anything up.....now I am a whole week ahead!

Thanks so much coupon girl for rep !! Have yourself wonderful weekend and take good care yourself sweetie and Thanks again

when we used to have a cottage ( B.K. " before kids " ) I did them all the time up there.

honestly...with my weight being so " fluid " these past 2 years I need a few different ( aka larger ) sizes of tops and pants on hand. My worst nightmare is having to go somewhere fancy...all my nice clothes do not fit anymore. Oh well, I've been back on my healthier eating plan now since April 2nd....there was no sense starting it on April Fools day now was there? ...lol
It's been slow going ( the weight loss I mean) but since every day I am slow moving in retirement I cannot expect a miracle.
Enjoy the long weekend!!

Thank you, I will ask the shoppers by my fathers’ house the age, that way he can get in on the savings.

Thanks for your help re: Top T Tried to rep you but got that spread it around message. Re: your hubby's socks - I heard the blue original Dawn is good for stains! Have a great day!

I have that plastic Cdn Tire card but only shop there maybe 2 times a yr. and I really laughed at what I earned on my purchases, it is a joke. My DS on the other hand lives right across the street from one and shops more frequently so he may find it workable.

yeah, those bosc pears I call them dirty brown pears but my son just loves those ones. lol

oh thanks so much!! I am another year older......but jury is out on if " wiser " was a part of it. ha ha

soup was what did the trick for us too. I did make a homemade one from the turkey carcass but then we also bought Swiss Chalet chix soup, that is so delicious! Enjoy your snuggle time with Sebastian!!

oh man! I am so grateful it did not hit me until very late on the 25th. Our dinner guest had left and I fell into bed, stayed there all through the 26th and 27th. Just a terrible version of a nasty cold with a side of bronchitis....lol. On the 28th I dragged myself to the Clinic, got antibiotics and a puffer.
Much much better now. Funny how I still sound sick though, the last of the phlegm rattling around in my chest.
But I am healed, have no headache, no fever, nothing. The minute I felt like cooking again I knew it was gone....lol
Hope you are feeling better as well.

Honestly, some times a day is too long... but I am getting by each day, hard as it may be. It's going to be a very long haul, and it's difficult to accept that I will never be even close to as I was before...

Take care!

ha ha a dancing on demand baby? I would pay to see that. The best age eh ? Hope you soaked in all of his love on your visit on Saturday. Things are slowly getting back to semi-normal here BUT there is still plenty left to construct, patch, paint, clean or something. It often feels overwhelming, that is when I head out the door or I crash in the recliner to rest my brain. Have a great week !!
