** Easter Eve **

Wow, it is only 2:30 and I feel like I have been out and about all day long! This morning I woke up and went to weigh in...I am now down 40lbs!!!!!!!! I then headed down to Zumba in downtown Daytona Beach for an ass whooping from Quanita! LOVED IT!!!! I figured since I was out and it was only 11:15 I would head out down to the lighthouse. I haven't been down there for a few months. Today is a beautiful, sunny, florida day and everyone is at the lighthouse today. I guess because it is spring break for some schools. I climbed the 200+ steps twice to get an extra workout in. I definately did the workout thing today! Wheeew! After all of this I was destin to head home, but nope I had to go grocery shopping. I went coupon crazy this week and clipped crazy coupons. I shopped at Winn Dixie, Publix, & Walmart this morning and ended up saving around $50 and only spending $45-$55 overall. I love bringing in coupons when I am buying a BOGO item and it brings it down to less tha a dollar; the sales lady just looks at me and smiles. Today was a good day, I filled my Karma tank for the week. There was a sweet older lady in our line at the store and she was paying by a check and she couldn't find her drivers lisence. Apparently at Winn Dixie if you don't have your card your can't make a purchase even if you are in your mid 80's and look as innocent as can be. She dug in her purse for 15 minutes trying to find it. I felt bad for her having to look for it and it was probably on her counter at home or at the bottom of her purse. (Ladies you know how easy it is to lose something small in your bag!) The manager pulled her out of the line to keep it moving so she could look for her ID and not hold up the line of 4 people. The next 2 of us checked out and I then went over to her and she still had not found it. I figured it is Easter and she probably is running last minute errands or getting ready for family, so I offered to pay for her groceries so she wouldn't have to keep looking. I know some older people feel like a burden or embarassed when something like this happens, so I figured I would help her out so she doesn't have to worry about it. She thanked me and INSISTED on writing me a check for the amount I charged for her. She was a sweetheart, she said she hadn't had something so kind happen to her in a long time. The clerk looked at me like I was crazy for paying for her groceries....My philosophy is: one day if I am ever in her situation I would hope that someone would do the same for me. I headed home after that and now I am ready for lunch! Have a HAPPY EASTER!!! **Suzan**
