Hey, hey, hey!

I won the UK lottery, the Irish lottery and one in Africa somewhere. And I didn't even enter them. So, when are they gonna pay up? I think the deal is that I'm supposed to send them a chunk of money, a "processing fee" or some such thing. Yeah right. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

We're going to take my bike tire to the bike shop and see if they'll fix it. But I have to wait until the pound cake that I remade comes out of the oven. I made one the other day and only had wheat flour so that's what I used. It came out really sticky and yucky. So, earlier today I bought some white flour and did it over. It looks a lot better, I think it will turn out OK. I need to quit substituting things in recipes. I almost always end up throwing things away because they turn out bad. Taking short cuts usually doesn't work out for me. I like to cook but I'm not a really good cook. I can cook good enough to keep from going hungry anyway.

Tried out the Pantene shampoo and conditioner today. It's OK, not something that I would buy a big bottle of though.

I need a new mixer, the one I have has two speeds, slow and slower. I could have bought one with the money Uncle Sam gave us but I bought other stuff instead. I was planning on using this one until it quits altogether. That's probably what I'll do, use this one until it dies and then get a new one. I guess I'm not a good consumer. You're supposed to buy the latest whatever as soon as it comes out. But, I like to wear things out, to get my money's worth out of things. My sewing machine is over 20 years old and DH thinks I should get a new one. But, I love the old one and I'm going to use it until it croaks. Then I'll get a new one.

Bought a new purse the other day and now I can't find anything in it. Have to get used to it.

Photo of the day, another family photo taken in the 1930's. This is from my mom's side, she's in it along with Aunt Helen, Uncle Bud and Uncle Donald. They are all little children here.
