Grandma is alive and doing laundry in Arizona!

This is one of my tank tops, as you can see George has picked up where Grandma left off! I have to say it is definitely white and there are no spots!

Winter fashions in Arizona

We do dress for winter out here, even if we don't need to.... notice the winter boots and that is a winter scarf around her neck.

There was a lady in Walgreen's a few weeks ago that I didn't think of taking her picture till we had left. She was dressed in a tank top with a sleeveless hooded vest with fur trim, short shorts and muckluck boots with fur lining.

Brrrrrrrrr !!!!!!!!

Dang, it's only the beginning of December and I had to turn the heat on to take the chill off. Last year I didn't have to turn it on till February and then it was only for a week! Sure hope this cold spell isn't a sign of things to come, I did not move out here for this! The only thing we are missing is snow, although Monday on my way to work my car dashboard had a snowflake next to the temperature reading.

Thanksgiving shopping

Stood outside Walgreen's this morning waiting for it to open, along with about 20 other people. Got 9 bottles of Arm & Hammer laundry detergent for $17.97 (a savings of $44,93), 4 tubes of crest toothpaste free (actually made 75cents on each), 6 packages of ponytail holders free, 6 packages of batteries for $7.98 (savings of $15.98) 2 razors for 99cents each (savings of $15.92) and 1 box of hair color for $1 (savings of 7.99).

 I wanted to put 2 potted christmas trees on the front porch so got buy 1 get 1 free pre-lighted trees. So almost ready to start decorating outside.

Was surprised to see that most of the people waiting to get in were actually there for the buy 1 get 1 free toy selection.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

5 minutes and $400

Doctor looked at my wrist, had me try to bend it a particular way, then said you have De Quervain's Tendinitis. Gave me a shot and said it will be better in 3 days. I'm suppose to go back in 3 weeks for a follow up. I asked him if I could sit in the office for a little while to feel like I got my money's worth.

Ok, so the mercedes wouldn't start for the last time and unlucky for it we just happened to be in the parking lot of a new car dealer....so.... say hi to my new car!!

it's a 2012 volkswagon jetta and it is  now parked in our garage.

I don't know if the mercedes started or not, I didn't hand over the key until we were ready to leave the dealership just in case. We told them we wanted a new car with nothing out of our pocket and we didn't want to spend over a set amount on payments and they made it work. In fact we have a check coming back to us from the buy out of the mercedes.
