Good News Sunday post updated with pics

Rate: 11 Flag

Having to wrack my brain for good news Sunday. 

 Valentines is near and Romance is not even a concept to consider. I can't even imagine that I ever was free to think about much less get involved with stuff like that.

But, I'm a turn lemons into a lemonade (with acai berry and a hint of green tea) kind of person,  and so I did have this Good News Sunday thought-

"The chocolate will be 50 percent off the day after Valentines, and then 75 percent off if I'm patient and wait a week. Then,  "At the 99 cent store I can get a whole heart for a quarter if I just wait."

 Sunday is not nearly over but I think that my good news is pretty good.

 

It's now afternoon Sunday, and the good news is that I spotted the typo in the title.

Hmmm. What else? It's superbowl sunday and though I truly know not a thing about who is even competing, it's a perfect opportunity to have pizza and eat chips with a spinach  dip.  Or , is it jalapeno poppers

 jalapeno poppers

and potato skins with bacon?

This Valentine season makes me lonely.

Chew bagel, lox, poppy, & do`Tae Kwon Do.

JD- If you knew how aware I was of Easter, and the anticipation of more discounted candy, you might cry.

I hear you. It's all about the chocolate for me, too. Yippee for discounted chocolate!

Because I am a romantic, I will sending all those who commented here a valentine's heart on March 3rd and cadbury easter eggs in late June. Please, don't be surprised when this occurs.

Discounted chocolate at the 99 Cent Store? We must take our good news in small doses I suppose. It's better than anything I could come up with, and I've been wracking my head for days for something Good Newsy but not too sardonic.

Chocolate is always good! That's when I will get mine too...

Lunchlady has given me an idea: Let's all buy our candy when it's discounted and then all these silly holidays will lose money and go away.

You don't need to know anything other than to cheer for the Saints. Those look like jalapeno poppers from Arby's.
BTW, Holy Internet Connectivity, Catwoman, but I had spinach dip earlier today. Freaky. R

Okay... now you mentioned chocolate and bacon in the same post. Will you marry me? Choc-o-bacon!

Er...those look like deep fried suppositories. But whatever makes you happy! Yayay!

Sorry, Joan! Not that I wouldn't eat them, from either end. I mean, fried food is fried food.

Oh my, they do look like fried suppositories. I purposely chose the ugliest poppers pic off the internet btw.

C.K Dexter Haven,
Missed your comment yesterday. Sure, I'll marry you.

As much as I love Bell, I am not asking her to marry me. She is funnier than me and quicker to comment than me. She probably knows that sentence is not grammatically correct. Too much resentment there for a good marriage.

Good to know,Joan, when I start proposing etc.

See, I truly have no clue about punctuation or grammar, really. I mean I don't say that I be grammatically challenged, but I am. I went to schools where the teachers kept postponing classes in punctuation and grammer and I managed to get a B.A without learning why and how and where a comma should go much less the other more complicated colons and semi colons. I think that is why I'm doomed to never feel secure when I write anything. I know that I can learn but I actually haven't yet . I just can't seem to learn this stuff. So, Bell has run for the hills(, ; ?) and Joan H. and me have been exposed and should marry stat.

fernsy, you are still making me laugh. We are digging out of the snow, so soon I will be back at work and the laughter will stop. *wiping tears*
I love when people use the word "stat."
Joan H.
February 08, 2010 02:14 PM
Joan, I've arranged for an even worse storm to head your way so dry those tears stat.

Your illiterate new spouse,.; ?

Colons, semicolons, fried suppositories and marriage proposals? I knew I got ripped off with that speed-reading course. (r)

I was following feed.
I thought I was first.
I better hit the sack.
That's hit the hay.
With no battle axe.

Missed Joan H's comment somehow:

How did I do it? Clearly, that's confidential. But, I can say that I went into high gear when I heard about you and the enormous shoes etc.
I hope you are enjoying the snow day I created for you.

Yes! You saved my sexless Valentine's Day! Chocolate half off!
The holiday I was dreading I am now looking forward to - well, at least to the day after. Rated!

fernsy, put that voodoo away now, girl. I have snow days coming out the ying yang. It's a blizzard. Or else write some stuff for me to read. Your choice.
