Rest in Peace Wayne 04/08/50 - 02/24/10

One of my best friends in the entire world passed away, Wednesday, February 24, 2010. I will miss him dearly. Maybe I am being a little selfish here, but I keep thinking about this. Who am I going to call when I am in the car line waiting for Isabella, or when I am driving down the road lonely and wanting to talk to someone. I am definitely a phone talker in the car. Wayne is always the first person I think about when I pick up the phone in the car to call someone. I guess this is because we talked every morning on my way to work for so many years. It has become such a habit for him to be the first one to call when I have good news, bad news or to just talk about my day. He called me a lot too, up until these past couple of weeks. I knew something was wrong when I couldn't get him to answer the phone or to return my calls, but at least I could talk to his voicemail until Wednesday. Wayne, I love you and miss you so much already! I hope you are in a much better place and are looking down on all of us right now saying everything is OK for you and will be OK for us soon enough. I can't have too many guardian angels, no one can. I would love if you were one of mine.

Food World has not had the best sales since they sold out, but I like shopping there because they have a lot of reduced items. For example, yesterday I went.

I bought:

A pack of Dole Shredded Lettuce (I LOVE shredded lettuce) for $0.99

A pack of those yummy soft sugar cookies with the icing and sprinkles for $2.00 (These were not out of date, they were in Mardi Gras colors, so they were reduced.)

Two Pork Tenderloins for around $4.00 each

A bag of bananas for $0.94

A tray of red potatoes for $1.04

A large package of Luncheon Meat for $1.00

All of the above was reduced. I promise you, in this house, it will all get used before it goes bad! Publix doesn't reduce food. I know they give their bakery items to the church, but what about the other items? I questioned them one time about their meat. I asked when their mark down days were. They said they never marked their meat down. OK, so what do they do with it then? Throw it away? That is absurd! I have ALWAYS purchased meat on mark down and have never had any problems. If it doesn't look good, I don't buy it. What I do buy, I either use within one day or freeze it the day I buy it.

Taste Buds

Did you know that your taste buds "dance around"? OK, I DID know that, BUT I just had to smile when my just turned seven year old, Isabella, told me that yesterday. It sounded so grown up to hear out of her mouth! She wanted me to try some Golden Puffs cereal which I really do not like. She said, "Mom, you need to try it again, you know your taste buds dance around and you never know, you might like it now!" Little does she know, that I will now use that statement on her now! LOL
