Went to the store yesterday to buy some groceries. After getting some veggies and putting them into the shopping cart I remembered that I only got Spanish onions but forgot the sweet (Vidalia) onions. I went back to the onions...

I finished reading four books I borrowed from the library. This makes my total 14/75 books for the year. It says I am 7 books behind schedule. Wonder why. Perhaps I read 21 books by this time last year.
Will see if I can go to...

I went to Whole Foods Market on Saturday and one of the things I bought were jewel yams. Looking at the receipt after checking out I noticed that they were scanned at $2.69 per pound instead of $2.49 per pound. To make sure I...

Today is the solar eclipse. Hubby tried to get those special glasses but everywhere he went they were either out of them or never had them in the first place.
He said you can’t look at it without those glasses or it can ruin...

I went shopping today to my local Russian store. When I was checking out I noticed that the jumbo eggs I usually get scanned at $4.19 instead of $3.99. I told the cashier this and after scanning the rest of the items he went back...

Initially I thought of putting my loose change into a piggy bank or a glass jar but then decided it’s best to put them into coin wrappers. My bank doesn’t have a coin counting machine and I can’t just bring a jar of loose coins to...

I was at a funeral Sunday. The lady that passed away was 69 years old. She died on the day of her brother’s birthday. This will surely make his future birthday celebrations bittersweet.
While there, I learned that her father, who...

Last Thanksgiving, my mom and I went to an AT&T store to upgrade our phones. My mom told the guy that she wanted the best deal for our family plan; that is one with the lowest monthly payment.
Instead of just an upgrade, I think...

I didn’t want to sit home today but it is raining and it’s supposed to get windy. I guess that means I won’t be going anywhere. I’ll get soaked if I venture out.
I’d do a jigsaw puzzle but renovations are going on and...

On my way to the dentist yesterday I stopped by the library to return a book I had borrowed and picked up two books. I didn’t really have time to browse much so picked up two books I stumbled upon. One was a book by an Icelandic...

Going for my dental cleaning today. I was originally supposed to go in January but the hygienist scheduled it for a day when the office was closed so it had to be postponed. And today was the available date.
I am not looking...

Goodreads says that I am seven books behind schedule. I hope I can catch up. I am going to try and see if there are any interesting books in the library that are under 200 pages. Won't take as much time to read those as it would...

It may seem weird but I actually enjoy checking out items at the store myself. I am able to keep track of any errors and address them before I actually pay. And I bag things the way I want to. Plus, it can save me time, though...

I was in one supermarket and decided to look at Sugar in the Raw sugar as we were very low on it. The two-pound package was $4.39. I didn’t get it because we usually buy the four-pound package and this store didn’t have it.
When...

Our house renovation started some time in July of 2023. It is now March 2024 and things are still a long ways to go. I can’t wait for it all to be over. Don’t like living in this mess.
We redid the kitchen and the living room...

Yesterday was hubby’s birthday. In the evening, we went to his mother’s house to celebrate. She ordered Georgian food. The kebabs were dry and overcooked, but other things were pretty good. It was a good time though I wish we had...

I started out the year great. Read six books in January. Then things changed. I read only one book in February and haven’t started any books this month yet. Gotta get back into reading. I will see if I can pick up a book or two at...

I decided to have a pinto beans omelet for breakfast, along with a small salad on the side. Since I am wearing a violet t-shirt today I put on an apron just in case. I didn't want to stain it.
Except I did. While cutting a grape...

We are repainting most of the house and I have to pick the colors. Right now my focus is on the living room and the stairs that lead to the living room and up to the 3rd floor. It's hard for me to figure out which colors to choose...

I remember when I used to work for one company many years ago our birthday was a holiday.
If it was your birthday you had the day off.
Wouldn't it be great if all companies did that?
If it's your birthday you shouldn't be...
