I've looked at the weather forecasts online, at my trusty graphical outlooks and it looks like tomorrow it'll be in the 30's when we run. Not quite as cold as Freezescale, but the weather will call for double gloves, and a warm running hat.
I went and ran a few miles to stretch my legs on the trail. it was muuuuu-ddy. wow. The dogs didn't care. They ran happily and sniffed, pee'd and splashed around.
Then I decided to go back to the grocery store for a big load.
(I went a couple of nights ago, but got discouraged from the crowds and kept it to under 10 items so I can whoosh on out through the
What's the story there anyway? About a month ago, the lady infront of me in the express lane had 17 items. Yes, I counted them. Granted she had 12 different items, but still, it added up to 17. (and even 12 is more than 10). I'm sure she could hear my thoughts as I beamed my sonar full of hatred at the back of her head, while she acted like us behind her didn't exist. Should I calm the hell down, or should people not stand in line with 17 items in a 10 item express lane??? What's the protocol?
So I'm at the grocery store for a serious "stock up session". Here are my observations from my outing:
- I guess he was drunk because he didn't notice the fancy 'temporary' cherry tomato display that he completely knocked over when he took a turn in the vegetable section too sharply by the entrance. He knocked all the tomatoes over, comedy movie style! It was hilarious!
- Why are cherries only $2.99 in January, but $5.99 in June when they are in season?
(I bought a pound)
- -Marathon bread and "7 Grain" bread is awesome! Not just because I'm a runner, but it's so good, I had to get me one of each!
- What has happenned to shredded mozarella packs? Why is there not regular shredded mozarella. They have Low Moisture, Low Moisture Fat Free, Fat Free, Fancy Low Moisture, Fine Shredded Low Moisture, Fine Shredded Fat Free Low Moisture etc. but they don't carry just plain old nice thickly shredded regular mozzarella. ("Hey, Mr. H.E.Butt, we're all not lard asses who want fat free or low moisture shredded muuuzarelle!")
- Is it bad to abruptly pull a 180 when you spot the wife of someone you used to work with several years ago, and you don't feel like talking to them??? I don't think so, so I did, and got away with it too!
- The decidedly overweight (75lb+) wife says to the husband (100lb+) overweight while looking for Pasta sauce: "Which one should we get? There's three cheese over there, and... umm, this one sounds good, Roasted Pepper and Basil" then she looks over to the right and delivers the money line as she points at the shelf: "yuck, definitely none of that organic crap". She was holding a giant jar of creamy alfredo sauce in her hand when I last saw her. *Priceless!* (personally, I got the Roasted pepper and Basil, by the way)
- I know I'm about to stir up some banter on this one, so I need to preface with: "I'm just not a big Icecream guy": Do we really need a 50feet long x 4 level cooler section worth of icecream choices?
- By the way, if you're into thin thin pizza crusts, the thin crust California Pizza Kitchen pizzas in the yellow boxes are great! I bought a couple in November, and got 3 more today. They rock, as far as super thin crust frozen pizzas go!
- Hey Mr. Grump in the grey F-350 who desperately wanted the empty spot next to my car... "Don't hate me... you could clearly see I was loading stuff through my back seat and not trunk because i have a cooler full of cold beer and a suitcase in it. It's not a big deal taking the spot that's 2 cars further up. I promise!" (man, that guy walked by me with his wife as I took my cart back to the cart drop off thing, and he was giving me some SERIOUS stink eye.)
Anyway, those are my grocery store observations.
