Hello to all who are interested and reading. This morning I took a look at my Tuesday Television stats noticing they were the lowest in the list of posts so I will try something a little different and more up to date. Thanks for taking part of my little experimenting.

Getting A Deal Makes My World Go Round

I am well satisfied with my day today. My friend came to pick me up then we headed the wrong way. I had suggested a place changing my mind forgetting to tell her. I tell her, we turn around heading for Dunkin Donuts. I took note that the coffee doesn't try to burn your lip off anymore. We sat up on the chairs in front of the store where we could see outside. After an hour and a half, we were as caught up as we were going to be and she returned me home. What a lovely time we had.

My landlord had his truck pulled up at the time filling up a big puddle with the dirt he had piled up in the back of his truck. As I walked by him I quipped, "Taking away my ice skating rink I see" to which he replied, "I thought we could take up mud wrestling".

In going back out to the Family Dollar I made my big score. I have needed new bras in like forever but just never really get to buying any. Or if I did buy one it wouldn't fit correctly so to the "it feels weird" pile with everything else I'm supposed to donate.

So I'm in the store looking at this and that deciding not to torture myself too long I go to the checkout. Over at the other register, I spot half off sign for undergarments. Oh boy! As I going through each item one by one this ringing sound goes off. Evidently I was setting off the alarm from those tags they attach to everything now which the clerk told me with my telling him I thought the ringing was in my head and someone was talking about me, loudly! >insert laugh here<

I come to the very last bra, lo and behold, it looks like this may be the one. No price tag of course as I look at the clerk and tell him this. He sells it to me for .50 cents! I was so happy over that Grandpa Rose said I was glowing.

I firmly believe that karma has a lot to do with it. Reaping what you sow, what goes around comes around, etc. Be nice to people as much as you can and maybe you can buy a bra for .50 cents too!

Whats the best deal you have ever got?

100 Exquisite Adjectives by Mark Nichol

I love learning new words or being reintroduced to one. I ran across a list of them and will add a word a day.

Word#41 Incendiary: inflammatory, spontaneously combustible, hot

In a sentence: Because Dad had come home in one of his incendiary moods, we kids hid in our rooms to avoid causing him to blow up.

How To Make Simple As Doing Dishes #FixThePlus *

I was doing dishes. That's when I do my best musings. I'm eyeing the dish drainer wondering for the millionth time how does a dish drainer get  so dirty from clean dishes and water?

I was doing dishes as fast as I could before my back pain settled in.
Wash wash wash...rinse rinse rinse.
I'm almost at the end of the dishes. All I have left to do are the silverware which to me is a pain in my tush.

Usually, I throw them in the dish drainer willy nilly and forget about dishes having to rush to my seat with the back pain monster right behind me but not today! Today I have a plan!

            I'll make a silverware holder.

Now that little invisible voice who loves to "voice" her opinion in my head speaks up trying to shame me by asking, "why now stupid,you've lived here three years" to which I reply, "don't judge me voice".

An idea was forming in my head. I watch a lot of YouTube projects and read about homemade projects that you don't have to spend money on so I think to myself, I got a 2-liter bottle of Root beer in the fridge! Yes, I love love love recycling.

I take out the bottle and notice I have to drink the rest of the Root beer before I can use the bottle so ~gulp gulp gulp~yes I know, I could have poured it down the drain but I'm cheap and besides...its Root beer.

Argggg brain freeze I think to myself, but the bottle is almost empty. A couple more gulps and its done. After a nice rinse, I can now begin.
The first "silverware drainer" I made I did it with the hole down. 

For the drainage. That wasn't a very good idea because straws, knifes and anything narrow enough to stick through would fall out. Hmmmmmm.
So one day I finally had enough and proudly threw away my homemade silverware drainer. Proud because I had made it and prouder I actually threw something away I'm such a hoarder.

Project #2 is now starting to form in my mind as what I consider an ingenious mind for all things homemade and crafty, I go downstairs and dig through the big black plastic bag full of returnables for another plastic 2-liter bottle. I find one, I'm on a roll now and return back upstairs and promptly find my scissors. 

I cut off half the bottle like a pro stabbing the bottom for drainage and there it will sit until it gets dirty although I'm resigned to never knowing why or how that happens, until I need a new one. 

What do you do to save money?
