I spent more than my $40.00 budget for the week, but I will be out of town this week and I will not be doing any shopping.. I bought lots of cleaning products and washing detergent so I am good for about 6 months.  I don't plan on buying any cleaning products for a while unless they are free or dirt cheap. 

I hope you all have a blessed week

5 Question Friday

The rules...copy and paste the following questions to your blog post, answer them,

Questions for Friday, April 23rd


1. What was the first car you owned?
The first car I owned was a blue Ford Thunderbird- I was 22 years old before I got my first car.  Of course I didn't have my license until I was 21/22




2. What song are you embarrassed to know the lyrics to?
Wow, there are many.  From some of the rap songs that are popular today to all the Barney songs.  Embarrased in two different ways. One is I quess more ashamed that I know the "bad" songs that I hear on the radio sometime.  Not really knowing the words but loving the beat.  Then when I really listen to the song and I hear the words I am embarrased that I liked the song..  Embarrased that I know all the barney songs.  Songs I hear 20 years ago I still know all the words.  My oldest daughter played those videos over and over and over..


3. Have you ever had stitches?
Yes I have had stiches- Let's see, probably 8 times before I was out of middle school.  I was a tomboy and always in to something I should not have been.  My mom was always taking me to the local MD to get sewed up.. This usually happened in the summer months...LOL.  While my mom was working


4. What was your first job?
My first "real" job was Kollege IN.  It was a discount outlet clothing store.  I was the luckiest girl in the 9th grade.  I got a new outfit about every day.. We got a huge discount..  I was certainly the best dressed girl at school..  To this day I still love, love clothes..


5. Who is your favorite Sesame Street character?
Myh favorite character is Ernie...  I just love him..

Blogging

I have not blogged in a while.  I really have not been in the mood.  I always get down in the dumps depressed or whatever you want to call it when there is a season change.  Mama passed away almost two years ago and I still miss her so much.  I have so many questions for her...  I look at how my life is in a turmoil and I wonder what advise she would have given me.  I always wanted her to be so proud of me. 

I know we all have to face death of our loved ones but it seems in the past 5 years I have lost so many people that I love..  I want to pick up the phone and call them all..  My mom, dad, brother, sister, Jason, Scott & Johnny.  I wonder what they would be doing now if they were alive.  We all have to learn how to deal with death.  It is not easy.. It is very hard.  I do love to talk about my loved ones... That is how I deal with it and how I keep there memories...  Some people had rather not talk about it, but I am an open person and I don't like to carry things by myself.  I like to call on others to help me carry my burdens and my hurts and my concerns.

I have still been couponing and have gotten some fabulous deals.  I just havn't blogged about them..  Heading to Publix and I know I will get some good buys..  I may feel like blogging about it later. 

I hope each one of you who is reading this has a very blessed day...
