Grillin....

Mmmmm, what a wonderful dinner tonight! I was almost finished with my grocery shopping and I was looking up at the aisle signs when I saw the word "charcoal" and decided it would be a great night to grill out. So, I got some freshly seasoned ground beef patties in the meat department, some corn on the cob from the produce department, along with some fresh fruit and called dh to let him know that HE was cooking tonight! LOL....the burgers were great, and the strawberries were wonderful! They were huge and red and shiny....yum! I also got some nectarines. I just can't resist those. I like them better than peaches. I also got oranges and bananas....not to mention all the veggies. I tell ya, my cart was more than half full when I left produce and that is at the front of the store!

I ended up going to Walgreens for the prescription, then Wal Mart for my cleaning supplies (and I stayed true to my list....go ME!). I did buy All detergent this time because they have a new "rain" scent....and on the front is a little frog. All you can see are his eyeballs peeking out from under water and it says "Mmmm, good weather for a frog!" (or something close to that....I'm too lazy to go look at the bottle right now). I also got the All brand of fabric refresher. I don't like Febreeze but I love the All scents. It smells so good! Wee one loved the frogs on the bottles.

I went to Big Lots after that, in search of a cheap gnome for my yard but, alas, they have none. *Sigh. My little guy is lonely out there....he needs a friend! LOL. Then, finally, I ended up at the grocery store. I had such a full basket! After packing it all up I had a basket and the bagger did too....I always feel weird having them put the groceries in my car. And now they are doing this thing where as soon as you get in line, they unload the cart for you! Is that just a southern thing? Because back home in Indiana, we had a store where you put your stuff on the belt, and bagged it too! I never know if I should help or just stand there and let them do it. I tried to help today and dropped a package of hot dogs....I just let the guy finish after that.

I didn't do too bad in the money department either. In total I spent under $280 at all the stores. Woo-freakin-hoo! We must not be eating as much because I haven't been doing my normal 2 times a month grocery shopping. I've been averaging one big shop and a small shop. Hmmmm, why then is it that my butt is not any smaller????

I am hoping that my show isn't a rerun tonight. I hate when that happens. You get all ready to settle in and watch your favorite tv program....then bam, during the first three seconds you recognize it is a rerun. I have to sew too. I suppose tomorrow after cleaning I'll start that. The girls have a freakin early release day too....crap. It's not that I don't want them home....but it shortens my day....and it's also a babysitting day. Oh, and Betsy told me that since her bus overcrowding situation has caused them to be late to school for three days in a row, they are changing the schedule. So now instead of driving her to the bus stop at 6:30....the bus will be arriving at 6:15! She tells me this and then says, "That sucks. It means that (and this is where I thought she was going to acknowledge the fact that I have to get up earlier to take her) I will probably have to get up at 5!" So now I have to readjust my schedule once again. Of course, that will mean I can have a bit more morning time on the computer. Hey, that just might work out alright! LOL....

Alrighty....I'm outta here. Nighty night!
