~Stockin' the Fridge~

Penny came today and went to the store for me and got

some meat and a few dinners for in the freezer..I am so

pleased with it... When its the first and I get my food

stamps I just hope they have my shrimp on sale.. I was

going to have Penny get a bag of them, they had them

on sale, buy 1 get 1 free, but theyre 12.oo a bag and I

could get some meat and stuff with that and it would go

longer..I have to take all that into consideration, specially

this time since I had some extra stuff I had to pay which

wasn't a lot but more than I expected, and I had to trade..

Im grateful that I can..some months..well lets just say it

aint easy...

But I did get a nice surprise today.. I got my gas bill and

it went down to less than 13.oo ..if that's what its going to

cost me to have a water heater something is drastically

wrong I think.. Donnie saw the water heater and he said

its older than mud.. I saw a house that blew up once because

of a hot water heater that was bad....well ya..guess it would

blow up only once hey? :-D anyway..the house was gone..

I know the temperature of the hot water is extremely hot and

I did have Donnie check it for me, he said he turned it down,

and that it was REALLY an old one..that worries me.

I read a news article about a young woman that lived in a

mobile home..had 2 kids I think.. she smelled gas and called

the gas company, she took the kids outside..and went back

INSIDE to get her cigarettes and lighter.. as she was coming

out the door cigarette in her mouth she hit that lighter and that

place blew up..didn't kill her but sure taught her a lesson..Call

about a gas leak then light up a lighter right there? I guess

she figgured maybe she was safe being in the doorway ..not

thinking that the gas was going out that door right along with

her..I know that had to hurt.. I don't think she got badly hurt, just

thrown across the yard..the neighbors were there said that

woman was standing in the doorway one minute then BOOM!

she was flying across the yard like she was shot out of a

cannon.. Its funny now..but at the time I bet those kids were

scared to death!!! :-D I think I would have either quit smoking

or not had gas in my house.. :-) Some people..just don't think..

Penny put a small roast in the crock pot..it smells so good in

here..we put some package gravy for thickening and then a

can of beef stock..don't you KNOW that will be some GOOD

GRAVY.. Im gonna make some French fries.. I know how

good that will be and I think my stomach does too..its letting

me know Im in need of food.. I want to make a pot of beans

for over the week end..and I may have company next week

for a few days so I want to make sure I have food and soda

and snacks here too. Its going to be very nice to have company

and I look forward to it..

Penny took my camera and went down to the basement to take

some photos of what is down there and where it is ..she took

7 photos and I have to say it is a tad messy and stuff all over..

there is a TV down there and I have NO idea where it even

came from or ever seen it before.. there is stuff all over and I

need to get down there..I hate not being able to see down

there and cant clean it up... We have lots to do before now

and next week..I want it to look nice and neat , which it does,

but still needs some extra.. I have some round mirrors I want

to put on the wall around the big one over the couch..I think

some double sided sticky tape might hold them..they arent

very heavy... that mirror just is THERE..and Its not right it needs

more by it or something..and I think these little mirrors, about

6 inches across, would look kinda cute up there.. ...

Ive been staying at this puter too long at night and my tail bone

is letting me know..Ive been getting up early again thanks to the

boy..4:30 every morning..so I get up..I need to get up early that's

ok..but I need to go to bed earlier..which last nite I didn't log off

till after 10..I was trying to get my Inbox cleaned out and make

sure I had replied to my mail..I LOVE to get mail.. but my hips

and tail bone the past couple days let me know to get off of it.

I got a new cushion for my manual chair..they of course sent

the wrong size..so now it has to be exchanged..I need it and

I think that may be part of this sitting problem..

I did have Penny get me 2 tickets for the Lottery..now..everyone

has to cross their fingers and say"Lois HAS to win the lottery"

I think I would croak if I actually won.. I know EXACTLY what I

would do..get me a house, on the water..and just sit there and

enjoy no more worries that's what I would do..well maybe take

a trip to Europe..I would love to go to England, Germany, Norway,

Sweden, Switzerland..Portugal..Paris.. I would like to go, take

a travelling companion with me..yup..color me gone...I could

handle that.. I played these tickets..so I hope I win Im going to

play these two sets of numbers..until I do.. cost 1.oo to win

probly over a million I don't know what its up to .. bunches..

Well time for some of that roast and fries.and Im starved..then

TV time..maybe tomorrow I will have my new cushion.. I hope

so.. I was going to call Deborah about the power chair but I

decided to wait ..see what happens..to be honest Im tired of

dealing with it.. I wanna tell them where they can push that

chair..sideways too... butt.. well im rolling off into the sunset,

"Nitey Nite"

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and thanks!!!

Always, Lois ****
