MENOPAUSE MONDAY..........And Some "Amazing Bargains"

Most of us are in the same boat.....suffering from "Menopause Mondays".......

those of you who haven't hit this milestone yet......well....you really have something to look forward to...

I've been e-mailing my friend Cheri lately and discussing this phenomenon and although she thinks she's suffering from Alzheimer's I'm a bit more optimistic and I'm just suffering the weirdness of the big "M"...

Yesterday while making room in the fridge for the grocery order I came across a little container....right up front....I open...I inspect....I'm so confused......It's not gone moldy...that means that it's something I have made recently.....not that I keep things in the fridge so long that they turn into a science experiment......Well.....maybe on occasion....No...... this was new.....I couldn't for the life of me identify it......Nothing.....I had nothing.....A true senior moment....gee, I wonder what it tastes like......I don't want to know that badly.....it went right down the disposal...

Then the mail came.....see the above envelope....The Food Network Magazine.....it's a brand new publication and I'm a magazine junkie........ In the second issue I ordered up a subscription for me and daughter.....that was the February/March issue....

See what that envelope says...."Renewal Confirmation enclosed"......Come on Food Network give me a little Menopause Relief......Don't make me think it's time to renew my subscription when you haven't even sent me my first issue of the first subscription yet......

I'm easily confused when I suffer from hot flashes....

Then to make Monday worse.......you might remember that awhile back in the middle of the night the "BooDog".....decided to run in the Kentucky Derby.....and I was the Jockey....after hearing something moving in our bushes he took off with me holding the other end of the leash.....I know....the Boss said "Why didn't you let go".....when you know your going down you tend to hold on to anything....in a split second I was halfway over the finial end of our banister....Finial embedded in right rib.....Thank goodness it wasn't some sort of wrought-iron...Anyhoo, a few days pass and my toes start to hurt.....I mentioned to husband that my toe felt broke.....He said....."it can't be.....you would have said something the night you fell.....it's probably the gout".....Nobody wants the gout.....it just sounds gross.....So I hobble around for weeks and weeks.....He makes me stop drinking my beloved "Iced tea-with lemon-and lots and lots of ice"....for fear that the acid in the tea is what gave me the dreaded "G" word......

I wake up this Menopause Monday....covers from the bed thrown all over the floor.....I swear it had to be over 100 degrees in the bedroom last night.....and I'm just feeling generally crappy....I call the Doc and get an appointment for 12:30.....I want to get the finger checked out from the staph infection and while there I mentioned the painful toes....

He sends me for an X-Ray thinking it's a bit of arthritis.......

I go home.....an hour later I get a call......

Broken Toe.....
Does this crazy thing called Menopause really cause you to forget major things like breaking your toe.....Like the Boss said I made no mention for days after falling that the toes hurt....

No recollection of hitting.....banging....or stubbing the foot.....

Maybe Cheri is right.......a little touch of Alzheimer's setting in......

And now for our
"Amazing Bargains"

If you don't know what the Amazing Bargains are read the last post......

Here is the coveted green bookcase......back together in one piece....

Doesn't the milk glass look pretty against the green...

$119.00........regular $600.00

milk glass collection from the daughter and the husband....


A Spode platter from Williams Sonoma.....
Marked $110.00..........on sale 30 bucks!!



Crocs had a Grand Opening and I scored these adorable Crocs for Miss B.....
$4.99 a pair.

See this wacky little cabinet.....the Boss loves these wacky little cabinets...It's solid wood and went together like a puzzle.....The long piece on top was purchased at a different time.....They are all meant to sit on top of things.....but that doesn't matter to the husband...he always finds some crap to display on them.....not the pictures of the daughter or the dog....all the other crap.....
This was also $100.

A previous purchase.....a solid wood file cabinet....this beauty was only $39.00

and as you can see on top more "Military" stuff.....

And just incase your wondering the Boss is a World War Two Junkie.....

he collects and sells on E-Bay Military miniatures such as these little "men"

and buildings and tanks and such.....Yes, Ladies....there is a huge market for this

"Crap".....

I do have to admit I really am found of this replica of the church from

St. Mere Aglise in France.....this is the church on D-Day where the soldiers landed and some got stuck up on the church steeple....It's a famous moment in history....

I helped paint the church to look more realistic......

So ofcourse a little parachute guy had to be hung from the steeple......

So the Boss may love to shop and you all may think this is a fabulous husband trait but he plays with toy soldiers......So it's a wash.......................
