Good Monday Morning to all...
At least I am thinking it is still morning here. Fell to sleep... (nap) late yesterday afternoon, and woke up about 7~ish... Was awake 'til after 2AM, and then up to bed... I slept until after 7 this morning! (As you well know, this is not anything I am allowed to do on a regular basis)!
The above picture... (and I surely hope it turned out), is of my friend Judy. I shall have to dig much deeper to find one from about 4th grade!!! Oh were we ever cute back then! (NOT)!!
Her nickname is "SASSY" (and yes, it was given to her by her parents; who would surely KNOW whether or not to call her such a name)! hehehe
Yesterdays RARE treat came for me in the form of a rummage sale that I had found through one of my groups here on my 360!!! (Barely able to contain myself, I HAD to go and check her things out)!
I used to have a bumper sticker that stated "I BRAKE FOR RUMMAGE SALES!" Mom and I were always finding a few to go to; but surely none in January! And yes, there were even a few close calls as one or the other of us would spy a yard sale or rummage sign and I had to turn quickly or miss it... (Hey, those drivers behind me? They were warned)! hehehe Mom and I could laugh all day long! We sure had fun!
But back to yesterday. By the time the ladys sale opened (at one in the afternoon), there was already about 2~3 inches of newfallen snow... I left Miss Punk here... safe and warm for her anyway! And I set out through the snow and the WAY slick roads. Not even thinking, (or maybe thinking of Mr. Starbucks), I drove straight to the highway, and was on the acceleration ramp before I realized my stupid mistake! (I had really meant to take the county road into town, and not the danged highway). All was well until I got to my exit. There was quite a wreck at the bottom of that one; the police having just gotten there. (Not sure of what actually had happened, but I shall venture to guess that since none of the roads had been plowed or salted that one of those vehicles simply did not stop at the bottom of the ramp). How do people forget that if the snow is on the roads that they must take it easy... or hit the ditch... (or something else)? Maybe the very same way I forgot to take Velp into town? Didn't look like anyone was injured, save for the two cars involved...
And so, remembering NOT to get on the highway to go home, I did take the county road back to Suamico. However, inbetween Green Bay and Suamico sits a "Piggly~Wiggly" ...Once more, I just HAD to stop in... (And yes, this is where those 'comfort foods' come in)!
First the cut~up melons, 3 or 4 bakers potatoes, and the baby carrots too...
Proceeding onward I realize that since I am at the store, that I haven't eaten at all yet... (BAD, BAD me)!
My cart seemed to know this about me, so directly to the deli sped that noisy~wheeled little thing.
(I am tellin' ya, that wobbly cart was completely OUT OF CONTROL)! Truly.
The 'Chili con Queso' dip beckoned to me.
And then a half pound of their own Homemade Shrimp Salad.
The turkey and gravy were screaming my name!
And an entire rotisseree chicken! "PICK ME!" "PICK ME!"
Of course a fish or two had to cry out as I passed by... (and when they are cute as Little Nemo, how COULD I possibly be so rude as to say 'no' and just walk on by)!?
Then I absolutely had to get some of my Apple Jacks. I believe I had emptied that previous box when one of you were doing the, (ahem), "Red~River~Dance" last week; and I had sympathized with you all week long! (Yes, I always share them with Miss Punk)!
There was also a bag of very ripe bananas that will go for dog treats. I make Banana Biscotti Treats with them. (That danged bag actually threw itself into my cart as it was heading for the deli)...
...Note: I do not particularly care for banana bread, but these 'nanners' would be perfect for that too. Besides, bananas are NOT the greatest for "Blood~Type~A" people. (Which I have).
And so I am very late today... and I STILL have to get out and shovel those 3 or 4 inches that are laying out there waiting for me to move...
...And yes, I remain knee~deep in dishes... The damned maid never did do them yesterday. But she did leave me a note on the table saying that she was quitting because I never buy any munchies... (Yeah, BAD day to be quitting, wouldn't you agree)? HEHEHE....
..."AS IF"
I'd better close, but not before showing you how the river looked yesterday...

Ok time for me to get busy...
But wait, where the heck shall I begin, this place is a veritable disaster area!!!
Hope you are having a wonderful Monday!!!
XOXO
