July 1, 2009: 10 Things I Purchased Today

1. Miracle Grow plant food (for my very dry plants...hoping to raise them from the dead).

2. Bunch of Bananas ( usually eat one every day for breakfast).

3. A loaf of 9-Grain bread (makes good toast...but then, peanut-butter can hide anything.

4. 10 boxes of Crayola thin markers (why not get an early start on my teacher's debt for the 2009-2010 school year?)

5. Berkaline Helio recliner (because I deserve it!....and have wanted it for 2 years!)

6. Twin pack of Dove "Fresh Scent" deoderant (Only sweet smells when I lift my arms, thank you very much!)

7. Bottle of canola oil (because I plan to bake some brownies sometime this summer.)

8. $31.00 is unleaded gas (well...it could have been worse...I still had 3/4's of a tank of gas and was only "topping off")

9. Ink cartridge for my photo printer (scrapbooking is getting so dang expensive!)

10. Damn good plate of food at "Famous Dave's Barbeque" YUM!!! Pulled pork, corn on the cob, slaw, fries, and cornbread muffin. (Thanks for joining me Roni!)

10 Things On My Desk That Begin With "S"

1) Silver Sharpie pen (last used by Keith Anderson, I think)

2) Sugarland's "Love On The Inside" CD (Love that song: "It Happens"!)

3) Super Plus tampon (actually, there are three)

4) Steralized gloves (a whole box--sort of "borrowed" from the hospice house so my students can pick up trash for detention--tee-hee!)

5) Stack of plain white paper (for printing this as soon as I am done).

6) Spiral notebook (used for journaling for scrapbooking)

7) Several empty picture frames

8) Spices (seriously....I have a jar of crushed red pepper....why? I have no clue)

9) Speakers

10) Scissors (red-handled and super sharp)

Ten Things I Did Today

1) Woke up at 6:15 (Grrr! No alarm clock, either!)

2) Watered my flowers (and watched gallons of it run right down into the gopher hole--damn forest rats!)

3) Finally watched the series finale of "Prison Break" ---(Spoiler Alert! Michael died???!!)

4) Cleaned under my bed (and found 7 missing pairs of flip-flops).

5) Ate Italian sausage with chicken Rice-a-Roni for lunch (leftovers).

6) Found the missing receipt for the $200 hammock I bought a couple weeks ago (decisions, decisions--do I return it or keep it?) 7) Played with my dog for awhile (I think only I found it amusing to put her in that pillowcase....)

8) Suffered through a 4 hour headache (maybe it was the Italian sausage?)

9) Got slightly sunburned while finishing up "The Man Must Marry" by Janet Chapman (hopefully I won't peel this time...)

10) Drank 3 Mt. Dews and 4 bottle of water, today.
