Ring! a ding, ding, ding


She said "I want a ring" 
He said "Take your phone off silent" 


FAKE Puns today because I 👂 you all laugh at my funny puns.... 

Overheard at the Jewelery counter. "It's a beautiful ring, she will definitely pause a moment before saying NO"



 CHEAP posts, they hurt my ears.
My new creations, brought me to tears.
Top of To-Do list was Re-do the earrings I made last week
I showed you my new wedding band in a prior post, the black and silver ring is a favorite and is about 20 years old 
Every day, Amazon tagged me with rings I had looked at, emails, Facebook, beating me down.
They KNEW I looked long and hard at rings with stones.
Every ring I ever stared at kept appearing magically.
Facebook was covered in silver rings.

Fake Stuff is IN right now, or so I am told.
So Being completely bold,
I said YES and
Now I own a Fake Sapphire Birthstone.
Amazon Won...I love it.

Saturday DRAMA

Above is a internet photos of a Florida Palmetto Bug. Some call it American cockroach. In Florida they can get up to 2 or 3 inches and they FLY. for all details  Click HERE  or Not (most of the time they prefer outdoors) 

The thing to keep in mind is I do NOT touch them and prefer to let Bob the Bug Man swat them for me. Because they FLY. 

Saturday AM, while Bob was vacuuming, (keep in mind he is deaf as a post even when not vac) I was sweeping the bathroom floor and Out came a 3 inch Palmetto bug. I raced past the deaf Bob into kitchen and the swat (later found hanging with the bedroom swat)was missing in action. Afraid the bug would be gone, I go back with the broom in hand. I can tell you they will not die if you swat, stab or swish with a broom. But on one of the panic fueled stabs, he clung to the broom, I raced past the deaf and maybe blind, Bob and out on to the pool deck.

There I managed to beat him to death with the side of the broom because I had more room to swing than in our tiny bathroom.

When Bob turned the vac off, I told him the above story and said, didn't you notice me running back and forth stepping over the cord, in panic mode? WHAT? was his answer.

With wild hand motions I explained the roach was 3 inches long yada yada blah blah
Later that morning after my Walmart trip while I put supplies in the cabinet, he took Jake out and came back in and said that giant palmetto bug you killed is not even an inch and a half.

I said how do you know? he said come look. there it was, upside down, dead as dead could be and I said he was bigger before I killed him, he must have shrunk when he died.
I don't think Bob heard me over the loud laughing coming from his bearded face....

What She Did


I closed my blog for the week end, I did not post and I did not comment on others posts. Sorry if I ruined your super bowl game viewing by turning off my comments. 😁

#1 accomplishment was writing all the easy, peasy healthy recipes I have printed off the internet onto  the spiral thingy index cards, to avoid being buried in a landslide of papers each time I opened the cabinet that I stuffed them in.
#2 accomplishment was writing this Monday post.

Thursday at our TOPS meeting , All 26 of us brought items from home we no longer wanted, laid them out on tables, with a  paper under each item. We all had a number, mine was 25, and we would write our bid for the item. When the leader called time up, we each went to what we bid on and if we were highest bidder, we picked it up and paid for it. 6 items for 7 dollars.
( Christmas earrings, barbells, index card keeper, 5 sided grater, 2 blouses)

P.S. out of about 70 items, there were only TWO fights because 2 people picked up the items and purchased them even though they were not the highest bidder
Yes, I am serious! one gave in and let the highest bidder have it, the other refused and said but I really want these books. They were worn out paperbacks.

the animal print below is a dressy blouse, made from that slinky material that hides all faults. I had to attend a funeral on Friday and had decided not to go because I did not want to go shopping for a blouse that fit. There it was, my size and perfect. An expensive blouse for ONE DOLLAR...

During the funeral, Out of the corner of my eye, I could see all the covert looks at my blouse and could tell they were stunned by how well I looked in it. heh heh heh I think some of them may have noticed I had on custom made by MadSnapper earrings that matched....🤣
