You laugh out loud at the cartoons in a book called Einstein Simplified - Cartoons on Science.
Worse yet - you know what just about every one is referring to!
Got to be my favorite find of the day. Thanks to Half Price Books and their bargains PLUS 15% off coupons. The halfway insane duo was on the road again making sure we used our coupons!!
Tip for now - buy a $25 gift card at HPB before Mother's Day and get a $5 gift certficate good in June. No limit on how many you can get. Make your dollars go farther!

Shopping at 110 and 120
Ann and I did one of our trips today. I know... you're probably wondering when DON'T we do one of our trips? Once in awhile....
After all the snow and frozen stuff and stuck cars and all that junk, it was a BEAUTIFUL day to go. Bright sun, snow melting, clean roads. Wow! And we found treasures! Always makes the best kind of day. :)
At some point Ann was talking about leaving things for her kids "after she is gone". I said "Wait! Someone on the support group said she thinks with my attitude I will live to be 110 and that means YOU have to be 120!" And we'll still be shopping then. We'll be driving 20 miles an hour all the way to Indy. Saying "Where are we going? What exit do we take? What's that stores name?" It will have to become a two day trip because it will take us so long to get there and around we won't be able to make it to 6 stores in one day! We took turns "reminiscing" about the good ol days when we could go in one day. And when Goodwill still sold things for under $1.00. (I think those are already good ol days....) We were cracking each other up with our stories of our future! Oh what fun we will have! All I've got to say is WATCH OUT for the two LOLs on a shopping trip!
By the way... Goodwill now has 99 cent Sundays where the half price color of the week clothes and shoes are 99 cents on Sunday. Kind of a neat idea! I got some stuff last Sunday. I'll see how it goes...

Guess what? I'm retired!!!
YAY!!!! It is here! Early but didn't seem early enough. Made some snap decisions - I snapped and made a decision.... Decided it was time to quit pushing my body by trying to go to work everyday. It means I'll be using retirement money sooner and I'll be selling a heck of a lot more ebay but... I would rather have my health for as long as I can!
So here I am! Day one as an official retiree. Wow!
