Not doing too bad for my day off. (bless those days off) I went to the store on the way from dropping John off this morning. They had heads of cauliflour so huge, they were bigger than my head. Not to say that my head is big. Nevermind, we won't follow that tangent.
They had heads of cauliflour so big.
(how big were they?)
So big that they would take up the whole vegetable drawer.
Not funny I'm sure, but it amused me. Plus, they were called 'jacket cauliflour' which reminded me of 'jacket potatoes', which is baked potatoes here.
don't ask, just try to follow, even I can't keep up with my own brain.
I was there to pick up tyson chicken leg quarters because they were on sale for 49 cents per pound. I bought fifteen pounds. John will be up to his ears in chicken. But the penny pincher in me is appeased. Temporarily.
I really must be a changed person to walk into lowes, and walk out with nothing. I didn't buy anything from the hardware store. I went in there, got my prices for some plyboard, and got out. I am going to make some desks (eventually, as everything is) for our office so that the computers go in the corners and we use the space more wisely. I had to get dimensions of the plywood so that I could figure out how to have them cut the board :)
We're talking January or so. I've other things to finish before I do that.
I have made a sizeable dent in the unpacking of things. Main goal this weekend is to do the laundry/ go through the clothes, and get up to Columbus to raid the storage unit, at least once. Packing my wee hatchback completey full, and give myself more to unpack. Joy of all joys.
Let this be a lesson. Do not be a packrat, and do not buy things you don't need. Trust me, it's really not worth it in the end.
But the lesson has been learned, if you will count the many times i've gone into stores and not bought anything off my list. I know that this is a continuing exercise, but if I can do this. I can do anything.
Enough rambling.
