Ya know, that YAWN thing?

When one person yawns, the other person catches it. (contagious)
I even yawn after seeing someone on t.v. do it.


Well, it doesn't work on cats.

I tried it.


Not sure if it works on dogs ....
Can someone test that one out for us?


*Just more stuff that you don't NEED to know but it's always GOOD to know....

Anyone ever purchased from Umi Shoes?
They have some pretty trendy shoes for the kiddos.
The quality is superb.
I am not just blowing smoke up your . . . ..
Well, I'm NOT!

We own 3 pairs of Umi Shoes and each pair are still in amazing shape even after being on the feet of my WILD and CRAZY tykes.

No toes hanging out
No soles flippin' and a flappin'

They definitely get the "H" household's stamp of approval.

You can view some of their NEW Spring line via this video.

Post 1,000 feels . . . .
Well, it feels like post 999.
I've seen other bloggers hit milestones.
So, this is like a big deal or something.

I was going to give one of you $1000.00 since this is my 1000th post .
Because you all know how rich blogging has made me. I mean people are throwing money at me these days just to post.
BUT
I figured that was kind of HO HUM.
My readers don't need more money to blow.
Then it dawned on me.
GIVE THEM SOMETHING FROM THE HEART....
or my pantry/freezer

1000 things from Linda's heart
which really means stuff that I found in my freezer/pantry

Cheerios!

A real friend cares about your cholesterol....just sayin'
There's about 300 little "o's" left in the box.



BUT
THOSE ARE YOUR 300 little "o"s now!

Next, I give you 12 TACO SHELLS



These are my favorite.
or ya know... whatever was on sale at the time

25 little pumpkins
Uh, Pumpkins are like the newest thing this Valentine's season.
Really-They are!
I wouldn't give you anything that's been in my cabinet since October.
or would I?



Moving right along . . .
3 cans of BEANS!



There are like 100 beans in each can.
I COUNTED THEM.
ok, not really
So, that's 300 beans right there folks.
Beans Beans good for your heart . . .

24 Waffles
Well, actually there are only 22 in there but these are some GOOD waffles, y'all.



AND
Last but certainly not least . . .
7 Cookies
We can't have a 1000th post without COOKIES!



Now let's do the math.
Total # of items is around 6 hundred and something.

So, I will just toss in another bag of beans.
That should bring us to 1000 (give or take a few).



That's what I'm giving to one lucky person....
not really
BECAUSE THIS IS MY 1000th post!!!!


Just visit each one of my 1000 posts and leave me a comment.

Dear Kohl's, (Store # 719)

I think your employees need a "Loss Prevention" type lecture.
I do.

Ya see,
We came into your store (Store #719 in Southaven, MS) last Thursday night for a little shopping.

Hunky Hubby needed some new tennis shoes and a few shirts.
We also got one of those beard trimmer thingys.
*OVER PRICED but we still bought it.
OOOH and kitchen hand towels....Valentine's ones with cute cats on them.
OH, and they also had I LOVE MEW on them.
That's the real reason we got them.
Our cats name is Mew.
Perfect, huh?

ANYWAY, after browsing . . .

We decided to pay and go home.

I took the kids outside in that little waiting area while hunky hubby paid.

They like to press the handicapped button and open the doors for everyone.
They also like to run back and forth (one seat to another) while I shout at them.

It's quite annoying but it's better than having them stand at the register to wave and make faces at the security camera.
IT IS.

Ok, back to the story...
I have a point, I promise.

Hunky Hubby (my husband) finally paid and came into the little waiting area.
He looked down at the receipt with an odd look on his face.
Then he said, I don't think she charged me for the shoes.
He handed me the receipt and sure enough the shoes were not on there.
He said "I'm gonna go back and tell her."

(as I knew he would)
I said "Ok, we will wait."

We waited....
and waited....
and ....

Ok, it wasn't really THAT long but for dramatic affects I must add that.

I kept looking in there and could see the Hunky One looking over the receipt and shaking his head at the lady.
He did this twice maybe three times.

FINALLY, he got it taken care of and we were off again.

When we got in the car he told me what happened when he tried to tell the lady about the mishap.

She asked him over and over again "Are you SURE I didn't charge you for them?"
It was kind of like "WINK WINK....nudge nudge....ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO TELL ME??"
Of course, my husband said "NO. You did not charge me."

She then acted as if he was crazy for coming back in there to let him know.

&
She said this

"Well, this would have made SOMEONE'S DAY."

My husband replied with "Yeah, but God would've known."

Would it make your day when inventory time came around, Kohl's??
Didn't think so



Things that make ya go hmmm.....


JUST SAYIN'
Ya may need to break out those STEALING is a NO NO videos!!!
