Come on Harbor Freight! LOL!

I love those emails! My birthday is in December so double love them!

September.......pumpkin spice is taking over the world already. Not that I care mind you. I’m sick of the hot weather and even sicker of my summer clothes. College football starts today in these parts and my beloved Razorbacks are destined for failure again this season. Except for baseball, track&field and sometimes gymnastics it’s heartbreaking to be a Hog sports fan. Still, I carry on “woo pig sooie-ing. LOL

I hear ya! I would love to have it done but I'm petrified of the actual procedure. My sister had it done 10 years ago and has never looked back but I can't seem to work up enough nerve, even though my vision is HORRIBLE. She says she remembers seeing a bright red light then everything went black and I'm like "ok, that'll do. I'm good". LOL Plus I don't have an extra couple of $grand laying around to spend.

I did the same at Target for the holiday toy donation boxes. Need to check out Walmart too I guess. The high school that I attended had one building aptly named Building 1 that was not air conditioned. Back in the 80's in that school district there was a "no shorts allowed" policy for the classroom.....PE being the exception. I live in the South. Yep...….I died during the beginning of school because we started in August. We got out in late May unless we had to make up snow days.

So, I decided to upgrade my iPhone today at Sam's with their One-day sale gift card offer. Let me tell you what, there is no way on god's green earth you could get me to upgrade on Black Friday or on their one-day sale they have in mid-November. Talk about an extreme exercise in patience. The couple in front of me to make an appointment wanted two phones, one for each kid. Unfortunately for everyone in line, my Sam's did not have the color and configuration one kid wanted. They freaking nearly argued with the girl making the appointments, like it was her fault they didn't have a Silver in the 8+. Dude, it's a phone. Either you're in or you're out. They took at least 20 minutes to figure out what they wanted to do and make the stupid appointent. My turn comes up and I'm hoping they have the 8 64 GB in gold. If not I wasn't going to upgrade and out the door I would go peacefully. Yay for me....they did and only one! So, i stupidly make my appointment for 9 AM, right after the previous problem-causing couple. BIG MISTAKE! I return at 0840 AM to get in line and of course that couple was there, still undecided on what configurations of stupid phones to get for their stupid kids (not meant to offend but to vent LOL). Sam's only had two people doing the phone upgrades and one making the appointments and taking the phone orders which in reality should have been enough because the mobile area wasn't overly crowded. That poor poor soul who had to deal with this couple deserves overtime pay todayl The wife kept trying to find the phone they wanted online on her phone and trying to upgrade on her phone and all kinds of nonsense. The husband kept wandering off talking on his phone. They kept haggling over the fact that the 256 GB costs more than the 64 GB. Naturally Sam's had the 256 GB in silver, which they didn't wasn't to seem to pay extra for. Meanwhile I'm in line with the other guy who is moving along with no issues. In fact he finished the customer in process when I returned, did another customer and did most of my upgrade all the while this couple is still not bailing or getting whatever d**n phones Sam's has. I swear to god it was amazing at the nonsense. The husband finally said they would come back at 2 pm when they were scheduled for their tire appointment. I don't know if they left with only one phone or two. Honest to god when I heard him say that I laughed out loud......couldn't help it. Got a few looks from other customers too. I probably could have gotten a better gift card deal if I had waited until the newer phones come out but I don't ever get the newest when they are released, I'm always a model behind and I don't mind. I'm happy to have the $200 gift card and a new phone and I didn't cause my guy any trouble at all. Those of you who upgrade on or around BF, especially for your kiddos.....much kudos to you.

Lord, do I ever remember those days of marching in the sweltering heat of the South. We used to do our practices early in the morning and it was still awful. Good times! LOL

Happy August! Today is weeding the flower bed day since the temps have dropped below (just barely) 90 degrees. Must take advantage since its gonna be a hot week again nexgt week.

I’ve already decided I’m not renewing my Prime. I never get Sunday deliveries by the USPS when Amazon guarantees the item will arrive by then. Not that anything I ordered 4is imperative to have on Sunday but it’s the principle. If the USPS refuses to deliver for them on Sunday in my area then don’t guarantee it will arrive on Sunday. And too bad you weren’t able to get the Instant Pot. That was a heck of a deal IMO. I love mine, use it nearly everyday for something. Everything is not meant to be cooked in them but it sure makes a mean pot roast and ribs.

Darn! I would have liked that too!

LOL! I had the same problem! Their "glitch" was hilariously reminiscent of the Black Friday website glitches we suffer through every year! But I managed to get a few things during the day. Got the Echo Spot in the wee hours of the morning before the glitch even happened since I have to get up before the chickens to go to work. That was my main thing so all the rest were not important but nice to get anyway.

Right?!?! I’m so glad they started early with the Amazon devices. I ordere the Echo Spot before 6 AM CST so I’m good even though I’m watching a few lightening deals. Can’t see anything but cute doggies! LMBO

Hoping for a great price cut on the Echo Spot! If not I’ll wait until BF frenzy.

Bah ha ha!!!! Sweat running down my face, down my neck all the way to my back and further down ...… yeah, Over it too. I'm sure we are due another round of Excessive Heat Warnings in the next few weeks here in AR. The older I get the crankier and more uptight I get during the high heat of summer here. I cannot deal with it anymore.

I have no comment on the fact that I may or may not have perused the current designs.....

I’m ready to start thinking about gifts and things for myself. Although this year I absolutely cannot go off the rails with BF shopping like I did last year! And yeah, I tell myself that every year. NO MORE KOHL’S FUZZY THROWS! LOL

Happy 5th of July. I worked a 4th 12 hour shift in a row yesterday so I’ll be celebrating today. Grilled burgers and hot dogs and ice cream for dessert. LOL. I’m so glad the Excessive Heat warnings have dissipated from the time being but I know the monsters will return soon. Ugh. I can’t deal with the heat anymore.

I will have to second this! It’s so gross here today. June 1 already. Not sure how that happened.

Well that does stink.

I love spending all day at the movie theater, Only problem is that they have such comfy chairs nowadays I tend to fall asleep!!! LOL

Same here. Our severe weather season has been very slow to arrive although we did have a round a few weeks ago with a confirmed tornado touchdown in the northwest corner of the state. I think that’s the only confirmed touchdown so far and I’m hoping it stays that way. What you get in Oklahoma usually heads in my direction. Still suffering from the pollen in Arkansas.

Happy May. I do believe spring is here to stay. Pollen headaches are killing me. LOL

Not sure I will keep my Prime. If the non-prime free shipping threshold stays at $25 I think I will be ok without Prime. So many times my packages are turned over to USPS which means at minimum 1 day beyond the 2-day shipping you’re supposed to get. I don’t watch enough of the Prime videos to miss that. Thought I would but so far I haven’t.

Me too!

Yay! Thanks!
