I am laughing at y'alls posts about food gifts.
This Mother's Day my son sent me a box of those delicious chocolate-covered strawberries that are all the rage. Quite elaborate and expensive I must say. Thankfully there were only 12 berries covered in all sorts of chocolates. My son's gf made the comment of ... i bet you loved and hated the gift. I did eat several over four days. However I closed my eyes, held my nose and ditch the rest.
Yes to Choice #1 LadyM...see you have mastered the garbage can cover-up routine just like me.
Harriet... I have one of those white boards, but it is larger than Harmony's. I write my exercise routine on it...weight size, exercise, reps and sets and use it to keep me on track....the fitness group that I belong to has our routine written on a large white board with what we will be doing that day. I picked up that trick because it is easy to use and easy to adjust.
Kathryn... because I am staying away from any sodas, diet or otherwise I make sure to carry my True Lime black cherry limeade naturally flavored water stick with me. They're made from real limes and stevia. I can added it to water where ever I am.
Success.... I did find my other bathing suit when I returned to Macy's AND it was on sale so I bought it for half-price. However it was a costly trip for me. While there I ended up buying a pair of shorts and two knit dresses. I wear tons of dresses in the summer time because I find they are much cooler. The trick is finding one that don't make me look like I'm dressing up for a party. I think the dresses originally cost $59. I tried on several and chose the one I liked the best. But when I went to pay for it,and because I was using my Macy's card discount and it was on sale, it ended up costing $17.
I started to head out the door to my car when I thought...you fool, for that price you could wash your car in it and it wouldn't matter. So I went back and bought a second one. LOL Didn't have success with the sandals, but found a cute navy blue striped canvas purse on sale for $14. It was just the right size and had my name on it, so I bought it. It will pack well when I travel which is an added plus. So this morning while I was working outside, I sprayed it with Scott Guard so it will repel dirt.
Last year I bought a pair of cheapo sneakers at Wally world for $5 bucks. I wanted something I could work around the house in. I need a wide and tall toe box and they fit. I came home, put my foot arches in them, and then sprayed them with Scott Guard. The sneakers wore great and when I washed them, came out very clean. However after a year it was time to retire them...so I promptly bought a new pair the other day and proceeded to do the same thing. I spray many things with Scott Guard and because I keep many things for a long time, the Scott Guard really helps in keeping them looking good.
