REMEMBER THE CLEAN FRIDGE
Thou shalt not leave an open bottle of low sodium soy sauce on the shelf of the frig door.

ZOOM ZOOM SICK SICK
The Honda is down. I repeat, the Honda is down. The transmission is gone. Now, it is parked by the side of the road on our street. The Hubbie was driving and made it home that far. Of course, I had just taken it to the car wash, had the works to get it looking spiffy. Will it rain? Yes, tonight. Life is a smile sometimes, don't you think?
It will be a flashback for us. Only one car now so I am shuttling The Hubbie to work and back until the zoom zoom can be towed, repaired and returned. I consider myself spoiled having my own wheels all these years. Something like this makes me appreciate having wheels all the more.
Last night was a late night so I'm taking a morning nap. I spent way too long tweaking a video of the GRAND baby and adding it to my Facebook page.
So, it's Monday already. A beautiful, cool, gray day in Dixie. Time for some zzzzs. Being 'retired' is cool.

CANCER FREE SPECIAL WEEK
Today is a special week for me. Usually it's about the kids or The Hubbie but this week is about me, me, me.
In our little town, it is cancer awareness week. The annual walk for life is this week. Both of my/our sons, my/our dil and GRAND baby will be here to walk the survivor walk with me. It is for survivors, caretakers, and those that are in the battle now. It's always a very emotional time for me, yes, I'm looking forward to this year for sure.
This year, 2010, marks my 35th year since being diagnosed with cancer. I had a miscarriage in 1975, resulting in the placenta embedding into the side of the womb and developing a hormone producing tumor. I was given a 50/50 chance to survive. I was offered a total hysterectomy or we could 'try' chemo. Long story short, I started crying, wanted more babies I told my Oncologist, we went with the chemo.
Now, 35 years later, two more children (my first son was barely 4 at the time) born healthy, now adults, I am still breathing, still alive. It is nothing that I have done, nothing that sets me apart from others with the dreaded disease.
The simple reason is, my life is not up. I believe that the day of death is written down, predetermined, just as the day of birth is written down, predetermined.
God still has a reason for my being here and I am thankful everyday that I am.
Yes, I am celebrating this week, celebrating 35 years being cancer free.

BUYING CHEAP
Sometimes, buying cheap is just a waste of money.
I am a penny pincher from way back, with The Hubbie in the ministry for 30 years, it was a requirement. Now, cutting back, working toward retirement it is deja vu (I looked this up on dictionary.com. Spellcheck did not recognize it. Gotcha.)
I love Dollar General stores but I bought this dishwasher detergent tablet and it was a total waste of money. Sure, it was cheap, very cheap. The results were terrible. The tablet left a heavy white residue on all of my dishes. Gag. I finally had to throw them away, the tablets, not the dishes. I even tried to wash the dishes twice, hoping a second time would work, nope. The dishes looked dirtier than when they went into washer. I had to wash them by hand, horrible, I know.
So, buy cheap, if it does the job. If not, it's just a waste of money. Buy the name brand that works. In the long run, you will save even if the name brand product costs a bit more. The dishes will not have to be washed a second time, saving time, electricity, water and the price of the cheap tablet.
Live and learn.
