lol, thats cause there so darn handy lol. :)

in othe news...having a yuck day today, i HATE grocery shopping day...
i buget like crazy, but its so depressing to get home, unload your major grocery haul that costs most of your monthly food budget and for it to look like you got nothing...*sigh*
i realy hope things take off pretty well this year so i can feel more comfortable about expanding the efforts, would be nice to go out and NOT spend a fortune on Nothing...*sigh*

however it was a beautiful weather day...while waiting for my grocery shopping prtner (we car share) i was visualizing some things in my mind and soaking in the sun...ive got so many big ideas...ill get there...

Yes you will, and the food will look like a LOT more when you have a garden full and don't NEED to buy so much from the store :hugs

I'm sure hoping gardens do good this year too since last year was a bust. Budgeting is a real pain in the patootey, but you seem to do very well at it. Since I've been reading your journal, you've been accomplishing goals right and left.

thanks guys.
i just get a tad frustrated when i se money id love to pend on other things hveto go to the grocery bill because milk whent up again ect...
illdefinatly end up going over budget this month for groceries, im AT bidget and ill till need milk and fresh stuff at least once more this month...

and i get a little impatient when all the things i WANT to do take so long to get done LOL!. but ill get there, slowly but surely, ill get there.

got to do some running around today, got some mystery shops to do, and a wallymart stop, nd need to return some cheese that rung up amost 3x higher than it was supposed to yesterday *sigh* i wondeedwhy my grocery bill was more than $10 more than id dded in my head, not only did things ring at the wrong price but the $1.99 cheese rang up at almost $6 and i had 2 packets of it and being i was out with someone else who ws in a bit of a rush i didnt even check my recipt untill i got home and thought "hey wait a min, that seems a little high..." *ugh* going to call them and make sure i can return it, before heading up there dont want to take it with me only to be told no you cant return/exchange it and by the time get home have it be yucky from being in the car all day.
then when i get home i need to do some cleaning, tomorrow will also be cleaning day, as well as "go pick up feed" day since ive got a drs apointment right next door to the co-op. lol.

so yeah.

Don't know about where you live, but around here, if you get charged too much, you get that item free.

Boy would that ever be nice!! They don't do that here, and at some places you're darn lucky to get your money back/exchange!!

Sorry you had a weird day Pinky :hugs

thanks.
called them they said theyd exchange no problem...
so 2 packets of cheese curned into 2 packets of cheese and 10 of the yogurts i wanted! (yeah there was THAT much of a price difference.

i did 3 gas station mystery shops yesterday...assuming they qualify (one of the recipts is NOT the correct recipt....*sigh*) its a nice bit of extra money, BUT i dont think ill be doing any of those again, they take too long, need way too much printing, and are much too involved, my brain just cant handle both the interaction with people AND all the steps involved, they take 30-50 mins to do each depending on how mnay probles there are...ad whenyou get a clerk liketheone yesterday who couldnt figure out how to print the recipt then printed out the wrong recipt (its from the day before so i dont even now HOW he managed that.

but i had to go up there anyway so hopefully itll cover the gas cost at minimum and my trip was free lol.

while at "confused" clerks station i hit on a karma moent (and almost ended up comming home with a large pry mix boy...
i pull in and theres this big pyranese looking dog lay by the door, ooked like he belonged there quite frankly...
go over and the moment i wlk neer him he stands up, these huge puppy dog eyes nd gently wagging tail. an a bleeding hole in his neck...
coat was dry and thilthy and he was itchy (fleas) HUGE paws indicted not done growing yet, but he wasnt the right color to be apure pyr.
according to the clerk "some guys just left it here, i called animal control" (jacksons ACO is a high kill fcility, and a dumped dog is considered an owner surrender, given hiswound hed have bene PTS pretty much the next day :(
i couldnt let that happen, whent back out and anothe guy was stood there on the phone to a friend...
puppy comes over places his head against my thigh and sighs...the hole in his neck felt like either a BB/Pellet or a large abcess, my bet given size and being bleeding and not pussy is on the bb/pellet shot it was sore, he winced when i took a look t it, but not once di he turn, snap, growl or even bat a dang eye lash...
i stopped petitng him and some guys came out of the store and he wandered over and tried to get in thier truck, they looked very confused and he looked very confused...
there was a very definate "wheres my people, why am i here and when are you taking me home" look about this poor boy.
i didnt have any of the numbers for any of the rescue folks i know, but turns out the guy was on the phone to his neighbor who does rescue. at first she saidshe "didnt have room" but about 5 mins later she came by to take a look...she was on the phone to her vet, took her a good 5 mins talking to him but eventually she said "load him up"
poor big guy wasnt sure what was going on, wouldnt jump in the van, so given his personality i simply lifted him in, he didnt struggle or wiggle or panic...ive NEVER known such a laid back dog. and had she not come for him he probably woudl have ended up in MY car (yup dozer would have been thrilled to have a big buddy...cept he was an intact male...*sigh* dozer seems fine with females, but intact males (not sure about neutered males) hes very bi-polar about.

she was taking him striahgt to the vet but i wish id had chance to get her information just to find out how hes doing.
hes going to make someone a very special Pet...such a big ole mush!

anywho....
least he didnt end up at Animal control, who howed up literaly about 5 second after the woman left (i think the reason she was also in a hurry to get outta there, technically without paperwork on n owner surrender the dog is a stray and property of the county and had she still been there when ACO turned up she would have tecnically been supposed to hand him over.

but yeah.

today i need to unload my car, repot some house plants,tidy this place up, go to a drs apointment and pick up feed...so i probably should get finnished up. lol
