What a Friday....








Well, I'm Late getting this one done!! Shoot, it's almost Saturday! Hubby said this morning that he didn't want to wait until next week to go to the chiropractor....he wanted to go today if they'd take him. They did...and I Swear, you could have heard that bone, that had been out for Heaven knows How long, pop back into place all the way to Austin!! He said he felt an instant relief, but looked a little green around the gills.....(I am NOT smiling). Can I say...just once..."I told you so"????.....WHAT???....Alright....I'll be good. I've always said, if you can't find a good Doc the first or even the third time around, Keep looking!!! This one's good. It took me three different tries to find him, but I kept looking.
Anyway, after I wave goodbye to Hubby, off I go to the grocery. Pull into the parking spot and can't get my keys out of the ignition....Super....Can't go into the store with my keys still in the car, so out I back and head to the dealership. Tell them the problem, tell them I need a rental...the rental place guy is there within ten minutes, carries me back to the rental shop...to rent a car. All I want is a set of wheels....Nope, Do Not want the caddie. No mam, there Aren't any mini vans...no mam...no pintos either. All they have is the same car Crystal drives...exact. Geez, I did Not want a larger car than my Jeep. I Love my Jeep...Oh well, off I go to the grocery, and get the shopping done. $235.00 dollars later.....(fainting and passing out) out of the store I stumble. Ridiculous!!!!! Meat literally Moo'ed and cackled at me as I passed by the coolers!!! What?? Did I purchase the Whole animal??? Do the eggs come with a stamped Guarantee??? Ringed in Silver and gold?? Talk about Grocery shock!!! I'm weak at this point and the Only thing that will help, and Did, was a mocha latte......Yeppidy...works every time. So tomorrow, if some of you venture forth to stock up the pantries....beware. There's a cow or chicken calling Your name....loudly!!! Happy shopping!

So glad Hubby feels better. I could have told him too, but no I'm a good girl just like you!

Sticker shock is everywhere, I tell ya. First I had the damn (okay, sweet) plumber bill $200.00; the next Monday, car in the shop $289.00, yesterday car back in the shop $243.00. And, groceries, forgetaboutit, you're right about that. Other than that, it's a great life if we have good health! ((HUGS))

Groceries are going up faster than you can eat them here. I kept telling Rob the prices were changing fast and he wouldn't believe me till he saw it on the news. At least it's not my fault now.

I am scared to go to the store today. I'm taking hubby with me so he will know how much things cost! I swear with it being just the two of us, it'd probably be cheaper to just eat out!

Stay warm today!

Gotta love the picture and hate the shopping.

Dawn said...

I am glad that hubby's back is better. Did you get your jeep back? I loathe at shopping. I take Roy with me. LOL

With the economy, I don't think we will see things anywhere get lower anytime soon. I hate that thought.

*HUGS*

Good news that your husband is OK.
well here in Venezuela we spend,per week, more than 400000 Bolivars (phew yes expensive) and due to the lack of some items we have to go to other shops and we spend 100000 to 150000, if we add the cost of other servises it is more than a million to live in this country...

Donna said...

Good to hear that your hubby feel better. And shopping is not always easy. In Norway it is expensive, too.
Thank you for your sweet comment some days ago. I have been away from home again, so I haven't answered my blogfriends before now.
Have a blessed Sunday, and take care!

Donna said...

Lille- Hope you are enjoying yourself with your time off! Have a happy Day!!hughugs

Brenda said...

It hurts my feelings AND my pocketbook so much when I go to the grocery (or to buy gas for my truck) that I'm thinking that in the future I should have a glass of wine, or two, before venturing forth to go do those two little chores.

Signed, slowly going broke here in Arkansas.
