How I Spent My Labor Day Weekend....

Like any one cares....Well, it was eventful... or so I think so! Saturday, we went shopping (my favorite past time) except we went to Menard's, and Home Depot, but you know, I can always find something there...Haha Mr. Wonderful... you thought you were going to take me to some place where I couldn't spend money?


We stopped in Great Escape... what a store! I love it! Oh, there goes the money in the check book! (sorry honey)


Off to the Cellular place because MY cell phone doesn't work out here in Flamingo Haven! Of course they tried to sell me a NEW phone that cost twice as much, but I don't want to give up my old phone and have to re-enter all my contacts and lose my saved information. Looks like I'll be stuck with the land line at home, and only use my cell phone when I leave.


Then, we went to the Farmer's Market...where have all the zucchini's gone? I walked up and down looking for zucchini's, and no one had zucchini's! Am I too late? What's up with that? So, we got some sweet corn, plums, avocado's, and peaches. Nothing like getting some home grown produce along with the fruit flies! I don't think they charged extra for those either :)


I was going to dedicate a whole paragraph or maybe I should say vent about people who shop with food stamps, and carry Louis Vuitton, Prada, or Burberry purses, and then I thought, oh...just let it go! I just don't get it! Do they take them to the welfare office with them? I know there are knock off designer bags, but those are expensive too! Then I watch them get into their Lexus or Caddie, and I wonder, do they make a fake Lexus? And where can I get one?


So much for Saturday...Sunday I decided to pull weeds in what I think is suppose to be a garden. It looked nice to me, a lot of greenery (weeds) with my fake flowers in-between. Now it's cleared out, and all that's left is some dirt, and a couple of fake flowers. Mr. Wonderful was going to the hardware store again...you know the one where you save more money at... to get some peg board (it's a guy thing) so I said, Hey honey, you want to pick me up some perennials? Of course he came back with the big question mark on his face... what's a perennial? Never mind...by the time I explain it, snow will be on the ground.


I took some pictures, but if I don't want to see myself in divorce court in the near future, I better not post them. I did take new pictures of the burgers Mr. Wonderful grilled on the Weber this weekend...they actually looked like burgers, and not hockey pucks! And I might add... they were delish!


We had good intentions of making it into Peoria for the Labor Day parade on Monday, but Mr. Wonderful decided he was going to mow the lawn. Hey, I wasn't going to stop him from doing that! Finally the lawn is mowed and it looks great! Better yet...I don't have to do it! Yippee!


I didn't talk to my Mom over the long weekend, but thought about the last conversation we had on Friday. She told me she wanted to get "spanked." Hmmm I thought to myself, why would anyone want to get spanked unless in her old age she's getting kinky! She said she has lost weight, and needs something to hold in her stomach. So what does that have to do with spankings Mom? Do spankings burn calories, and tighten up tummy muscles? (no wonder I was thin as a kid!) She said they sell them on QVC (her favorite shopping place)...Oh, you mean Spanx's, like those spandex thingies...Now I know what you mean! Duh! What was I thinking? How many Spanx do you want Mom? hehe


We drank lots of beer because hey, what's a three day weekend without three hangovers? Every morning I woke up feeling a little sluggish, okay, well a lot sluggish, my mouth felt like I had stuffed cotton balls in it, and the coffee tasted like I got the water from the toilet. Mr. Wonderful said he didn't get hangovers... That's because you're still drunk honey!


It was a great weekend... we couldn't have asked for better weather, and it was packed with a lot of fun and laughter. To think this marks the end of summer, and now I have to put all my white shoes away until Memorial Day! Who made up that rule? It couldn't have been Pat Boone because I think he wore his all year long.

And before I forget...A BIG pink thank-you to MannMaids for going over to the other house mowing the lawn, and cleaning up the yard! It looks awesome! BoomDone! And I didn't have to do it! I'll drink to that~
