Sad news

Hi everyone, I am back from the retirement party. One lady that was supposed to come to the party didn't get to because she got a call today that her son was found dead in his apartment. He lived in New York, I think. His parents live here in Norwood. He graduated from Norwood. I am not sure how old he was but he was an adult. I know he was older then my girls. I would guess he was probably around 40. No one at the party knew what happened. All they knew is that someone found him dead. Please pray for the Clayborn family. He was their only child. They are just beside themselves. I will let you know if I hear anything else.

Debby Lots Bargains

Yes, thats right, I got good bargains. I am so proud of myself. I would post pictures of them if I knew how. All the way home from the store, I kept thinking I can't wait to post tonight to let you all know about my bargains. My children nicknamed the store Big Lots, Debby Lots after me because I use to practically live there. I haven't been there for a while but it brought back memories of why I use to go so often. They had a buy out from Eckerd Pharmacy. I didn't think I would benefit from the closeout but I did. I thought there wasn't anything I would need from a pharmacy. I went there to buy a few prizes for a retirement party I am going to tomorrow night. Well, I hit the jackpot baby!!!!! Now keep in mind that 80% of the people going to this party are over the age of 60. I got a facial hair remover, stop laughing, they will love it, for $1.20. It is a 3 piece set, a small battery operated razor, a small brush, and small pouch to keep it in. They only had 1 or I would have gotten another one. A cute, small, pink, photo book, which holds 100 photo's, for a grandma for 80 cents. I got a med reminder with a carrying case that is really cool, you program it to beep when your medicine is due, for $1.10. All these things were 90% off!!! I got a really nice brown, wooden, 4x6 frame for 80 cents. I got a couple other frames for 60 cents each and 1 other one for 40 cents. Has anyone ever smelled the mens cologne, Antonio Banderas? I got a 3 piece set in a clear plastic zippered container. It looks very nice, I paid $2.17 for it. We have 1 man attending the party tomorrow so just in case he wins a prize I got that. In case it doesn't smell good I am giving it to someone I won't have to smell. It was originally $21.69. I got a really nice blush brush, (all old ladies wear lots of blush) for 60 cents. I also got Stoked girls perfume with a cute bracelet, for a grandma to give to her granddaughter, (and then again I don't have to smell it) Don't you think I did well?? I am so happy I got such great deals. I
got myself a pack of Kodak Ultra Premium Photo Paper, 25 sheets, for $2.00. You know, for all those pictures I print out, haha. Well, it was a great deal!!!!! I may use it some day. I got a few more things too. I was so excited to let you all know about my deals. If you have a Debby Lots, or it may be called Big Lots in your area, check it out and see if they bought out Eckerd Pharmacy. You never know, they may have something wonderful like a facial hair remover, haha. Don't laugh, you will be seeking one someday in the not so far off future. Then you will wish you had bought one.

I think I earned the right to play Mahjong Safari now. I am worn out, shopping does that to me!!!! Have a great evening.

I'm All Ears!!!!!

The ear is much better, thanks for the prayers!!! I am still putting the drops in my ear and will continue for a few more days. Thank God I had those on hand. I think I am going to be all right. Woo Hoo!!

I had a great time at David's party, when I wasn't moaning. The couch was real comfy. Isn't that a tv show? The big comfy couch? Maybe I could star on it. I liked David's girlfriend, she is cute too.

One more day with the curtain climbing, rug rats!!! The last day of school is tomorrow! Now that's what I'm talkin about. Oh yeah!!!! Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, oh oh oh Freedom. Aretha eat your heart out!!

The price we pay for beauty.

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!! ha ha

Hi girls, last night was not the greatest night in the world for me. I was dying my hair, I know that must shock some of you but NO, this beautiful blonde is not natural. Haha. Anyway, this has never happened to me before and I am have been dying my hair for about 11 years. A big glob of the dye went onto my left ear. For those of you that don't know me that well, I have a lot of trouble with my left ear. I get ear infections very easily. I had tubes put in both my ears around 10 years ago, yes just like little kids get, and the left ear still has a hole in it from the tube. The hole never closed and that causes me big problems. The doctor doesn't even want me to get water in it. I can just imagine what the dye could do. The moment the dye hit my eardrum I started to scream. The pain was unbelievable!! That kind of pain probably lasted for about a minute or two. The pain eased up but was still there. I had an earache. I decided to try to get the dye out if I could. I knew I shouldn't leave it in there. I couldn't find a Q tip, so I rolled up a tissue and stuck it down my ear to help soak up some of the dye. When I did that I must have pushed some more dye back down into my ear because I felt another glob go in and the pain started again. I was deside myself. Finally it eased up again and I have had a "normal" if you want to call it that, earache since. I found some antibiotic ear drops that the doctor prescribed me for the last ear infection a few months ago. I have been putting those drops in hoping that it will prevent another ear infection. The pain is still there but not like it was at first.
Maybe God is trying to tell me it is time to stop coloring my hair. I hope not because I like blonde opposed to the mousey brown I had that has now turned to subborn, pukey grey. I wasn't born a naturally beautiful person so I have to work at it. ha ha

We only have 4 more working days at school then the summer program starts. I am excited abut that. The students have been out of control for a while now because school is almost over. It happens every year. They are loud and unruly, even more then usual.
Please pray for my ear. Thank-you.

I did it!!!! I know what I was doing wrong, I mean, this crazy computer is working correctly now. Anyway, I left some of you messages but not Sonya. I tried but it wouldn't let me. Maybe the limit is 17, I don't know. You had 17 comments on two different posts and I couldn't leave a comment at all, I did try though. I am going to watch TV now until I fall asleep so, see my girls and my boys tomorrow. Love you all!!! Char wants my email address so, if you are reading this Charity, it is: GrammySweet@cinci.rr.com. Invite me in baby!!!! I would love to talk.

Ok people, I am not the crazy one here, well maybe I am, BUT I can't leave a comment on most of your blogs. It isn't me, I have tried to leave one on most of your's and it won't go through. Each of your blogs say that it won't accept anonymous comments. I haven't tried Crys's today but I have gotten to leave a comment on hers before. HELP!!! Is there a way of taking that anonymous thing off? I have tried to leave a comment on Lura's, Amanda"s Sonya"s Cheryl's and Ryan's blog and can't. Oh, I get it all typed out but then it won't go through. All those words are wasted. I am getting frustrated here !!! You all are missing my many words of wisdom that I could be giving you to help you live a memorable, helpful, very informatable life. Unless you all want Crys to be the only one to to be blessed with my wonderful advise and comments please help me. At least Crystal knows the value of my wisdom. Help me people!!!

If it is me, which we all know it couldn't possibly be, (ha ha) let me know what I am doing wrong.

I need remedial blogging for dumbies.

Amanda, I feel so stupid, I tried to leave a comment on your blog but never did see where to leave a comment. So, I'm leaving it on mine and hope you read it. I left a message on Crystal's but not yours. I was feeling kinda proud of myself for being able to get to the blogs and knowing how to post on my own blog. Then I get to yours and can't figure out how or where to leave a comment, I guess I'm not catching on as well as I thought.
Well, I just wanted to say, God bless your pea picken heart. I got totally exhausted just reading your blog, I need a rest. I don't know how you do it. God picked the right couple to have those 4 children, of course He makes NO mistakes. I don't know many women that would deal with things as well as you do. Actually, I don't know any. You seem to have all your hair and you aren't locked away some where. I am in awe. I think I would have moved far away by now and left no forwarding address. You are a REAL woman. I want to be like you when I grow up!!!. Debby

Addicted to Majong

Hi fellow bloggers, do any of you go to Pogo and play the games? Oh my gosh, I am addicted to Majong Safari !! I had to make myself get off the game. I just finished the safari so I made myseld get off . I like other games at Pogo also.
Anyone watch Dancing with the Stars? Who do you think is going to win? I am rooting for Kristi Yamagouchi. I'm sure I spelled that wrong but I think you know who I mean. (I need hooked on phonics.) I can't wait to see who wins. It is on tonight and tomorrow night. Go Kristi, go Kristi, go Kristi, dance your little heart out. I stopped watching reality tv shows but I really like that one. That is the only one I like.

Guess what? I got a Wii. I am so excited about it. I haven't hooked it up yet but I can't wait to use it. Once I get it hooked up I want to get other games for it. I love to play Wii. Kevin found it at Best Buy and called Sonya in the middle of church service yesterday to get in touch with me. He didn't know my cell phone number or my cell phone would have rung during church service yesterday. I about died when he called during church. I thought Cheryl had died or something. It scared me to death. But it all turned out great, after I pushed my heart back into my chest and it started beating normally that is. I got a Wii out of it, it was worth the near heart attack. I will be so good at bowling that no one will ever beat me again. Tennis, bowling, golf, baseball and boxing came with it. I am great at boxing!!!!!

Hi everyone, how are you doing? I got the cutest candy for my grandsons. A lady at my work found this candy at a store and brought it into work. I knew my boys would love it so I had her get me three packs. It is lightening bugs gummy candy. It comes with tongs, (tweezers) to pick up each bug. They light up! I thought that was the cutest thing ever. Isn't that cool?? I gave Ryan his bugs a little while ago and he loved picking them up, not eating them, he doesn't like the taste. But he is weird when it comes to eating. I can't wait to give Sammy and Sawyer theirs. I can't wait to see their faces when the bugs light up. SHHHH Don't tell the boys but it is the tweezers that light up not the bugs. Well, I thought I would tell you about the cute bugs I found.

I need blogger 101 classes!!!

I don't know if this blog thing is for me. Hopefully I will figure it out soon without having to call someone to help me everytime. I got all of your comments finally. Cheryl had to walk me through it but I did get to read them. I hope all of you are doing well.
I just got a good look at the picture I have on my blog. Ouch that baby is terrible. Do I look that bad? I guess I do, it is a picture of me. Can you say PLASTIC SURGERY?
Well I am going to go. I am going to get caught up with all of your blogs. I want to read all the things I have been missing.

Maybe this isn't so bad afterall, I can do this. I am going to go read about all of you now.

I'm a blogger!!!!!

Hi girls, I have my own blog now. Happy Mother's Day to you mothers!!! I'm new at this and I am not sure what to say. I had a great day thanks to my girls and their families. I am full thanks to them also. They fed me!

It is hard to teach me this new stuff you know. You can't teach an old dog new tricks! I'm not a techy! I still watched movies on a VCR and I can't even program it to tape something.

I'll try to write or should I say Blog soon. Keep checking back girls. I am going to try to read all your blogs soon. I have to go to bed now. I am 50 you know.
