SHOP GIRL

Oh the joy of being alone! Husband went back up to the cabin to pick up some work tools. I told him to take his time there was no hurry for him to come home. Yippe yi ya! I have some free time. I can’t begin to express how much I enjoy “ME TIME”. Husband runs the roost in the house but when he is gone I’m like a chicken with my head cut off–have you every seen a chicken run around without a head? I have and it is imprinted in my mind forever. So I rushed around and threw on some clothes and decided it was time to do some shopping. The new Costco just opened up!!! A SUPER COSTCO. This is a major event in my town. The towns people allowed for a Costco. They refused Walmart a few years ago–didn’t want that ugly building in our neighborhood. But of course, Costco is different -more upscale for our demographics here in the harbor.

After white-knuckling it through the new ROUNDABOUT I ended up at the brand new Costco and it appeared to me right away that every one and their third cousin had the same grand idea as a did to check out the new digs in town. I circled the large parking area three or four times looking for a place to park. Heres the thing, where I live, EVERYONE IS FREINDLY AND POLITE so it seemed out of character for someone to honk their horn in anger. “Must be an out of towner” I grumbled to myself.

To experience a brand new Costco is like a taste of heaven not to mention a super COSTCO. GRAND OPEINING–double delight. It’s a good thing I hadn’t eaten my breakfast and lunch because there was oodles of samples–even wine tasting–NO LIE!!! I was really enjoying the Almond Roca which if you don’t know is made in Tacoma, Washington. I asked for another sample because I was so hungry the food demonstrator told me each customer is allowed 20 servings. I only took two, but I was wondering and wanted to ask the lady if anyone actually took advantage of this 20 serving rule. I kept quiet and chomped on the delightful Roca.

Here is a picture of the loot that I bought at Coscto. I was a good shopper and stayed in control of my spending. This is what I had in my hands and contemplated on buying but decided I wanted to eat for the next couple of weeks and put the items back on the shelf: Ipod home system #39.00, Printer ink jumbo pack $42.00, Acoustic Guitar for beginners CD -software program $49.00, External hard drive, Digital Picture frame $129.00, a large pack of gel pens $12.00,

Here is a picture of what I did buy:

My next pit stop was heading over to the brand new BORDERS!!! I was so terribly excited. I watched it being build for the last 10 months and couldn’t wait to get inside and smell. You see I love the smell of books and to smell the new books in a brand spanking new store is like an orgasm x 10 for me.

I’m satisfied for the next 6 months, poor husband will figure out that this new bookstore could cause problems for us in the bedroom or couch or well you know what I mean….anyways, I had a v good time and checked out all the books I wanted to buy The Secret, Pray,Love Eat, The new Danielle Steele. I’m about 20 books behind on her–she must have a ghost writer there is no way someone can write so many books and to add they all end up on the best sellers list and there so many writers who can’t even put out there first book.

Chit!! This new Borders has an entire paper/office product full of journals, pens, gadgets, Ipod covers, book lights I could go on and on but I won’t because I’m hyperventilating as I’m writing this here entry. I’m still in a euphoric state of mind. Here is a picture of what I did end up buying.

After Borders–Gawd I get excited even typing that out–I went to Safeway boring old Safeway and bought the weekly groceries. I.HATE. GROCERY.SHOPPING. The only excited thing going on there was buy one get one free offers. I now have two boxes of Satsuma oranges which will most likely rot in the fridge.

It’s 6pm right now and husband is still gone, and I’m loving this alone time. Just finished watching GEORGIA RULES starring Lindsey Lohan–she is such a skank in this movie. She sure does have a gazillon freckles all over her body. I’m V comfortable wearing my new,luxurious 99% nylon, 2% spandex pullover and my new gray velorish sweat pants and my blue Dearform slippers.

I have some New York steak marinating and baked potoatoes wrapped in foil ready for the oven and corn on the cob ready to boil –just waiting now.

See ya for day 4 of nojomo

Side notes: Microsoft word 2007 doesn’t doesn’t recognize the word IPOD–This is realy making me laugh…ha ha ha-

I’m listening to the new Kenny Chesney WHO I’AM poets and pirates

I’m drinking my favorite Canoe Ridge Merlot I bought at Costco for $11 — it cost $18 at Safeway.

I’m such a good shopper.
