ONCE AGAIN I PRESENT SATURDAY SEVEN!

1. Hubby and I went surf fishing to feed the fish at the beach today! I guess you get the idea that maybe we were not really catching any of those fish. Nope - got a little sunburn and wind burn. Also trying to improve my cast, I waded out just a tiny bit too far just as a wave broke - and pretty much ended up really cold and wet from the hips down. The air wasn't that cold but the water sure was! We did have a great time and watched the sand pipers running their tiny little legs off trying to avoid the waves! Those things are so quick.



2. A few years ago the Winn Dixie chain closed all the stores that were very close to us. We were left with very little choice unless we wanted to drive quite a distance . . . it was Publix or nothing. Don't get me wrong. Publix is great for a lot of reasons - but can be a little high priced unless they are having some killer specials. We recently got an Aldi a block away from Publix! Oh boy! A new bargain store (we thought). Oops! Very little choice - very few bargains - bring a quarter to use a shopping cart and bring your own bags. It won't make it in this area for long unless they lower prices - they are higher than Publix (and it's all off-brand!). But on the way home from fishing we came through Titusville and I got to shop in Winn Dixie!! Woo-Hoo! Sure doesn't take much to entertain me, does it!?



3. Anybody out in blogland shop at WOOT! like me? One of my favorite places, though I admit I don't buy much - I do enjoy reading their product descriptions . . . and will pay lots of attention to Woot-offs just in case a Random Bag of Carp comes up . . finally got one in October! Not to shabby . . . ended up with 4 working Sansas and a great camera bag for $8!



4. Left the two rat terriers home while we were gone for six hours today. They are used to hubby being home almost all the time - and surprised us by doing a little re-arranging while we were gone. They took all the pillows from the big chair-and-a-half and the couch and arranged them in the living room floor. Tugged them pretty much into a group and were laying on them in front of the TV that we left on for them! Gotta love 'em!



5. Tomorrow is laundry day . . . UGH. Why couldn't the dogs do the laundry instead of laying around watching TV all afternoon?

6. If you haven't been over to 'my charming kids' yet to enter her raffle - go take a peek. Just click on the big raffle icon at the top of my sidebar . . . I know you'll love her - - - and the raffle is making $$$ for three very worthy causes. They have already collected over $10,000! What a great thing she's doing.

7. I'm trying to watch football while doing this. I do LOVE football in the rain or snow. This one is USF and WVU in the snow. Not much snow - but those poor guys are sliding all over the place! I think when they invented those domes they made a huge mistake! Football in rain and snow is kind of like NASCAR at Bristol! The way the sport was meant to be!

Okay, that's it for this Saturday Seven! Leave me a comment - or question - I'm starting to feel like I'm talking to myself . . . not sure what a shrink would say about that!

  1. I like your posts and your sense of humor. I am glad I found your blog. :~) And as far as #3 ~ it could have been written in Chinese and I wouldn't have been much more confused. :~) What is a WOOT?

    Merry Christmas,

  2. Hi Jo!

    Thanks for coming over and explaining that. :~) I didn't get that "random bag of carp" either. LOL! It makes much more sense now.

    Happy Tuesday!
