HEY!!!

Ok sorry I didn't post alot yesterday!! I had to break down and go to the Dr.....
my ear was killing me....DOUBLE EAR infections...again...anymore they will look into tubes....I thought kids only got those....maybe I am young!!!! Then why am I having to color my hair, have crow's feet (I prefer the term LAUGH LINES!!!!)

It is a NEW MONTH!!! YEAH, and where did the time go.......do you realize we only have 10 months until Christmas!! I'm joking.....or am I....
I have been putting aside those free/ cheap items in a box in our closet for gifts....I will pull things out as needed for baby showers, housewarmings, get wells, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Birthday's and yes CHRISTMAS.......
So if you are at the point you think you do not need anymore _______________....(toothpaste, deodorant ...) THINK AGAIN.....If you can turn that item into a gift basket.......or donate it........and it is free or cheap.....GO FOR IT!!!
Becca's birthday is coming up the end of the month....I am done with her "goody bag"
she has makeup tools, makeup brushes, mascara, eyeshadow, body wash, lipstick, razors.....It is her "Spa" bag....I will also take her to get a simple manicure...($10.00).We did this for part of her Christmas present....SHE LOVED IT!!!
She has also decided she wants to go to the HOMESCHOOL PROM!!! It is going to be at the Arrowhead Country Club.....so we are planning on looking for a dress.....REPEAT PERFORMANCE will be our first (AND I HOPE ONLY STOP!!) She is excited....and so am I...Brian went every year and had a BLAST....Becca is more shy and reserved....so I don't know......And something about having a GIRL go is WAY DIFFERENT than a boy....


ANYWAY....this has nothing to do with deals does it.....but I am in the mood to talk and no one to talk to.......
I HEART PUBLIX
has the new Publix list up for the sneak peek ad starting tomorrow!!!!!! It is another good one...... I am going to STOCK UP on strawberries....they are going to be 3 packs for $5.00 or $1.66 a pack! and with the weather the way it has been I am scared no one is going to be having any (we usually go pick up in Clanton...)
So I will just get these and freeze....It is REALLY easy....and come June and we want berries...I can just pull out a bag!!!
Take your berries....cut off the stem, and if you want to slice them do it now...those we got last week WERE HUGE!!!! Becca found 1 strawberry that I kid you not, was as big as her hand! So I will slice them....lay flat on a cookie sheet...pop in freezer....flash freeze them....and then once frozen (later that same day....bag them up!!!) We do blueberries and blackberries when in season this way also.....like I said usually we "PICK our own" (it is fun, and we love doing it as a family) The first time we ever wentto pick blueberries Becca was 3 and Carol Beth was 4....they had a ball...the man gave them their own little buckets...they ran through the fields....we picked and could see them playing, the owners wife was helping them..and we could hear hear talking to them and she would just laugh....when we got ready to go....here come the girls PURPLE FROM HEAD TO TOE!!!!! THE man BUSTED out laughing when he asked to see their buckets.....NOT A BERRY in either one!!!!The lady told him they should have weighed the girls on our way in and then on our way out....so they would know how much to charge!!! I apolozied a thousand times over....then the lady laughed and said that she had gotten so much pleasure out of seeing them enjoy the berries so much she could not bring herself to stop them.....(she had been joking about the weighing part) they took a picture of the girls and put up at the "PAY HERE" shed!! We have gone there basically every year since.........SOMETIMES THE GIRLS STILL COME OUT KIND OF PURPLE!!! NOTHING like that first year though....
