Ah! I erased, somehow, this post. I hate to start over.
When I was in third or fourth grade, my heart's desire was a pair of majorette boots, white with a tassel. Lots of little girls wore them just because. Mama finally got me a pair and I tromped around in school in majorette boots. Lots of little girls were right with me. It must have been a horrible noise. We wore them in the schoolyard, too, running, swinging.
Do you remember this shoe trend? Did you own a pair of majorette boots even though you were not wearing them as a majorette.
Yesterday destroyed me, physically and emotionally. So, nothing got done today.
Oh, my friend who takes trash to road and brings it back to the house has overstepped his bounds. I have a life decision to make and he wants to order me around. He badgers me when he is here. I told him I wanted someone to wash my dishes, to pay them. He volunteered to wash the dishes and harassed me "to decide, Now! listen to me, what are you going to do?" He offered other alteratives like I did not know anything. The 4-hour harangue made me determine to find other help, even if I have to pay for the help. He never charges me to do anything...just little chores neither Tommy nor I can do.
Since that kind of emotional harassment distresses me to the point I am lifeless and depressed for several days, I made new arrangements to get the garbage can to the road. It turns out that the city will get a garbage man to come get the garbage from the back yard and bring the empty can almost to the same place. I will have to move the empty can about 15 feet. I can do that.
There are still dishes!!!
I found Idahoan mashed potatoes on sale, the single serving plastic container. I bought two @$0.49 each. For lunch the other day, I made one in the microwave and only ate about one-third of it because of the carbs. Then, I had the rest of the squash and onions. I suppose the potatoes will be for tomorrow and maybe the next day. This will be $0.33 for each helping. It is probably not all that healthy, but beats other things I could eat. This is my first time trying this product.
At this same store, there were good prices on Enfamil and Folger's Coffee. Since I don't consume either, I had to move along.
Do you ever see great prices on things you don't use and wish you had a reason to buy and save money? Silly, I know. Today, I have eaten very low carb--rotisserie chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, milk, boiled egg with Miracle Whip and called it egg salad. Oh, I had M&Ms.
Tell me about your majorette boots. Maybe your mother had them. Surely some of you had them.
