    Smile Somedays just don't go how you planned but that isn't ways bad

    Today didn't go as I had planned.

    Today was my grocery shopping day. I had my list I was already for fast efficient get in get it done shopping.

    Until I realized I had forgotten the grocery bags. Had to turn around and head home.

    At home I realized that I had a coupon for free lottery tickets. So I head to that store going a different route then normal due to snowed streets.

    On the way I found a sign for a "garage" sale. That definitively isn't normal here for this time of year. Ended up being a big church sale. The good church sale of the year.

    So I stopped in. Found a beautiful dress for Little Miss More grown up looking like she wants but not to grown up looking that I don't like it. cost 75 cents. If it doesn't fit right it will make great material for a doll dress.

    So I buy it and head to the store to get my free lottery ticket. At the store, I realize they are having their massive meat sale. I was waiting for that to happen I had just ran out of meat from the last one. So I stocked up on meat at a great price.

    I notice that they also have ice melt salt for $2.96 a bag. I wasn't sureif that was a good price so I skipped it. Later I found out every other store in town is out of the normal salt and are wanting $8 plus dollars for specialty salts. I finish my shopping and head back to the other store and find they still have a few left which was good because we had just run out of the old bag and more snow is coming our way soon they say. So I get a bag.

    Not how I planned the day to go but it was nice to see how the day unraveled Quite nice I think. Wonder how those lottery tickets will pan out?

    I'd say you've hit a personal lottery, no matter if the tickets win
