Some pink and white tulips.

After nine years of heavy use, my PC monitor has finally refused to turn on. I new this day was coming because it had gotten to the point that it took 30 minutes to come on in the morning. :( So today, I purchased a refurbished model of the same brand with a 1 year warranty. This will hopefully provide me with adequate time to save up for a new one.

Rest in peace my monitor, you have served me well!

P.S. I will leave you plugged in just in case you decide to provide me with a few more days of service until the other monitor arrives. ;)

That was supposed to say "I knew" instead of new. :seeingstars:

Brisa
 

It's only 6:45 am....I'll let you know later :)

Nothing yet but I do plan to go out and get tortillias- or things for making tortillas, and some coconut water.

The other day..

I got things for the house

Curtains and blinds for my new bedroom

Risers for both beds

A very pretty pillow...and it turned out it was on sale for $1!

Bigggg bag of dog food...it feels like im going,to the store every time I turn around

Storage bags; my old ones ripped

Body wash

Dish towel with an elephant on it. I can't resist anything with an elephant. ..

Oops paint from Home Depot. Probably going to be for my daughter since im nearly done painting every room in my house (!!!!!)

Got my right ear repierced
Mouth wash
New toothbrush
A gallon of red diamond sweet tea

Girl Scout Cookies - 3 Thin Mints, 3 Samoas and 2 Tagalongs - and that is going to be it for this year!

Triple-A batteries (for my wrist blood pressure cuff).

Two pitchers of pop. Two, I don't know what they were sets of Transformer like action figure kind of robotic creature looking things that may or might not have been actual Transformer toys, and two Pokemon posters for my grandson's birthday. My oldest son who knows a lot better than I do, what boys turning four these days like, picked it all out and then we split the bill and made the loot from the two of us. Afterwards I bought myself a huge iced latte, no flavors or whipped cream, made with low fat milk because I blew my diet, by having too much Canadian Bacon and Pineapple Pizza, as well as regular, rather than sugar-free root beer at the birthday party. Being a grandparent is so fun! :) Though tomorrow on the scale maybe not so much. :( Even if I don't gain an ounce I'm regretting the pizza because it is definitely on my do not consume until slim list and well I partook. I'm glad it's not Lent. I'd probably feel double guilty what for my food choices today, and I'm not even Catholic.

Sadly, a local Sears store is going out of business. I stopped by and bought a red coat originally $140 for a little over $5!

a bunch of postcards!

So did I!~~~~~

while I did rehome my riding mare, I kept my miniature pony for my grand daughter's. I was told by the barn manager where I board him, he broke his halter. What an imp! So I had to run out and buy a new one. He is solid white, and I bought him a turquoise halter. He will look stunning in it..until he rolls the first time in the ankle deep mud! LOL.

Tomorrow my eldest grand daughter and my husband and I are going out to the barn to give Violet a ride on Tull the pony (as in Jethro Tull). Its her first ride of the season and I cant wait!

I bought a book that someone recommended to me over 20 years ago, and I never got around to it. I have never forgotten the recommendation, though. Amazing how the same life lessons keep coming up over and over again . . .
