SOMWaD: The Nightmare is OVER (The Supply List Part 2)

It's Sunday afternoon.  We have dropped our son off for one last week at sleep away camp; along with millions of others.  (This is clearly the last week of any kind of schedule summer activity; after this the college students go back to school and that's that.)  I know he's going to have another great week.  And I know I am going to have a great week because I have made a major accomplishment today:  I have found the elusive  5-Star Flex 5-Subject College Ruled Refillable Notebook by Mead. (The cheering and applause may now commence.)

It was brilliantly displayed in this week's Staples circular.  On sale for only $10; down from the suggested price of $11.99.  (That's $10.70 with tax.)  They were right in the front of the store in a lovely display.  It was the final item on the list. (The French/English dictionary is optional so I'm holding off on that.)  I have to admit, I was tempted to buy more than one, just in case.  I debated over what color to buy (since folders and the  5-Star Flex 5-Subject College Ruled Refillable Notebook by Mead need to be the same color).  I held back and only bought one.

I came home and ticked the item off my list.  I found a coordinating folder and the 5 tabs (which  have yet to be labeled, so while my shopping may be done, my getting everything together and in order is still a task that needs to be completed prior to September 3rd).  As I went through everything, making sure that all was in order, I swear I heard the angels sing.  (Or maybe it was just the peach schnapps that I poured into my Peach Fanta Zero from the Coke Freestyle machine at the Wawa we stopped at on our drive home from the camp drop off.  This reminds me, I need to buy more Peach Schnapps.)

As I have been reminded, the official supply list has yet to be sent out.  (Along with the official teacher list.)  I COULD be way off base with supplies.  I COULD need more.  (Although in anticipation I purchased, when they were on MAJOR sale, additional folders, 3 subject notebook, 5 subject tabs and even a couple of one subject notebooks.  I went through old "art" supplies that had been lurking in a bin in a dark corner of my dining room yesterday and am comforted in the fact that I will NEVER need crayons, pencils, colored pencils, pens, or colored pens again.  So why the hell did I buy them AGAIN when I made my supply list?)  However, I am feeling pretty confident at the moment.  (Than again that could be the Peach Schnapps talking again.)


My nightmare is over.  The supplies have been purchased.  Hallelujah!!  (And AMEN!!)

Not Guilty

The last time I blogged (https://bfthsboringblog.blogspot.com/2023/06/where-do-i-go.html ), this song from "Hair" was going through my head.  Today the above tune, written by George Harrison in 1968, but not officially appearing until George's 1979 solo album "George Harrison" (wonder how he came up with that title) has been running around in my head.  "Not guilty For getting in your way While you're trying to steal the day. Not guilty And I'm not here for the rest, I'm not trying to steal your vest. I am not trying to be smart, I only want what I can get. I'm really sorry for your aging head. But like you heard me said: Not guilty." Doesn't really apply to me...or maybe it does. When I last wrote it was a question of where do I go?  The answer was with my boys on a 5 day/4 night vacation to the Poconos.  (You probably know where if you've read my blog over the years.)  And we had a good time all things considered.  (Read the pr

Please Don't Ask Me...

 ...about the house.  (For clarity:  I am talking about the house that my parents lived in at the Jersey Shore.)  I realize that you mean well.  (Or at least most of you do...if you've read  https://bfthsboringblog.blogspot.com/2023/07/not-guilty.html  you know who I mean.) My mom died a year ago Sunday.  My dad died last Saturday.  I am NOT focused on the house right now.  I am working on organizing a memorial down at the shore later this month.  (Which is turning out to be a lot more complicated than I thought it would be and SHOULD be.)  I am thinking about the graveside service that is scheduled for tomorrow morning.  I planning for the people that might come back to our house afterwards.  (Have no idea how many; so I've ordered some food and have some beverages and think I have enough.  I probably have too much, but that's how I roll.)  I am fielding phone calls and messages from friends and relatives, which I appreciate (if you're reading this Amanda, Linda, Pat

Lowe's LIES

Image
Note:   before you start reading this blog post go back and read my  previous post . It will give you some important information about the BS that I have been dealing with when it comes to getting a new refrigerator and  Lowe's .  First off, let me say if you are my friend or if you are my enemy (I don't have any do I?), if I know you or if I don't know you, let me give you this advice.  NEVER  order an appliance from  Lowe's . Let me say that again  NEVER EVER  ever order an appliance from  Lowe's .  After the debacle that  Lowe's  created on Friday the 16th of June, I reordered the same refrigerator to be delivered to the shore address on Saturday June 17th. I was told that the refrigerator that they could not deliver because they had the wrong town had to be returned and I would be credited. As of this writing that hasn't happened; as of this writing there are two refrigerators with processing charges on my credit card.  However I am ever hopeful an
