So, I've been drinking Pepsi, ever since the "Pepsi Challenge". (Does that give away my age??) Anyway, it's been over 30 years. Never had any problems. Well, back on February 29, Stockman's had a wonderful pop sale! It was 3 cases for less than $5 per case. So, we bought 3 cases of Wild Cherry Pepsi for me, and 3 cases of Mountain Dew for hubby. One of the cases of Pepsi was absolutely horrible!!!! I have never tasted anything so nasty!!! It was not drinkable, at all--as it was very bitter. At first, I thought it was me, but hubby tried it, too, and said it was not palatable. So, I wrote the company, explaining the situation, and even added that it was almost bad enough to make me switch to Coke. LOL
They contacted me back, and said they were sorry for the problem, and they would send me a coupon to make it right.
DID THEY EVER!!!! Actually, they sent me 4 coupons for a free 12 pack of Pepsi products!!! They MORE than made up for my loss of 24 cans!! Still a Pepsi lover!! And, now, even more committed.
On the downside of another company. Because of the size of our family, if I buy canned veggies, I have to buy at least 2. Well, I bought 2 cans of spinach. One can was perfectly fine, and the other? Well, it was almost all water!! Maybe 2 Tablespoons of spinach. At $1 per can, that was not a good deal! I contacted the company, and all they did was send me a coupon for up to $1.99 off ONE item.

Whirling days!
Here we are in the middle of the very busy week of dramas. Two more nights of the dramas, and then on Easter Sunday, one more drama, and I will be done. Woo hoo!!
What a busy week! On Monday night, I was making Snickerdoodles for the Living Last Supper play. In the evening, Rick asked what we were going to do that night, and I said that we would probably be making cookies all night long, because I didn't have a convection oven. He got this sweet grin on his face, and said, "I can't keep it a secret any longer! I bought you a convection oven, and it will be here later this week!" WOW!!!!! How exciting!!
My washing machine broke 1 week ago. We went to a store, and was overwhelmed at all the different types/models. I was in overload, so we came home, and started up some research. We finally decided on a Samsung front load. We ordered it, and it won't be in until April 18th! (which is better than a different store, as they couldn't get it in until May 5th). So, how do I do laundry?? Very slowly now! Thankfully, the church has a washer and dryer. So, when hubby goes up to the church in the morning, he takes a load or two with him, and washes them there, and brings them home at lunch time, and I dry them. Then, after lunch, he takes another load or two. My Mom and Dad have also volunteered the use of their washer, too (plus, I would get a visit in, as an added bonus!). But, this week has been so busy.
Rachel's car broke down this week. She is in school (only has 1 more week left). It is in Eau Claire. Well, on Wednesday, on her way home, she broke down on the freeway. Towing and "repairs" cost over $200. Then, on Thursday, she was on her way home again, and it broke down again. So much for the repairs! Today, we will be dealing with getting her car towed, so she can get it fixed. So, hubby has been taking her to school, and leaving at 5 AM.
Yesterday, I took Andrew to the doctor, as his ears have been giving him some problems. They put him on a strong antibiotic, as well as Prednisone. If it's not cleared up in 10-14 days, they will talk about putting in tubes, again (he had tubes in his ears when he was really little).
Why is it, when you are in a hurry, you just get more and more behind? We were on a limited time schedule, as I had to be back for the Living Last Supper drama. Everywhere we went, we were put behind. The doc was 45 minutes late. Pharmacy didn't get the prescriptions filled in time (in fact, I was standing in line for prescriptions at a little after 5, and told them I had to be at a play by 6, and I live a half hour away.) I have a bit of set up before the drama actually begins, and needed to be to the church by 6.
My set up includes--getting water and ice in each of the 5 pitchers on the table for the men, as well as all their cups. I also have to get water and ice for the music team. I put a chunk of bread on each of the disciples' plates, as well as putting celery and baby carrots in big bowls for the guys to munch on. I also have to get the knife out of the locked office, and check the Easter Lily's, as if one recently opened, I have to pull the stamens out of the plants, as I have 2 in my family who are very allergic to the Lily pollen. And, most importantly, we gather to pray for the dramas.
So far, we have had 2 salvations, each night. We have 2 nights left, and we figure there will be bigger crowds tonight and tomorrow night. So far, a little over 100 people were in attendance, each night.
You know what irks me??? Someone giving an unwed mother a gift for her baby girl, that says something like, "Daddy's little girl." Get real!
