So I went grocery shopping. I love it. Like I know I have said in the past that I really like grocery shopping, but just something this evening was great. Maybe it is because I know when I put everything away I will hopefully have a somewhat full fridge and full cabinets. yay! Anyways, I don't really know that I saved $31.85 or that I bought a lot of things "on sale" that are just over-priced to begin with. I really wanted some tuna but I was not going to pay 72 cents to $1 on a can of it. What happened to the days when it was 50 cents a can? Anywho. I was also fascinated at how long my receipt was and I remember thinking, while it was printing out, I need to list everything I bought on here. I am sure a lot of you won't like what I bought, as in eewww, but meh. OH!!!! Before I start listing I think I saw the news anchor from WLFI, not Gina or that red head, but the other blonde lady that seems nice. I saw her by the deli counter and then kept seeing her throughout my shopping and she was checking out in the lane next to me. I am like 97.99% sure it was her. But here comes the real fun...

* denotes items that were part of the Kroger $1 days campaign.
And so I was getting ready to head to the check out and I was like...I'll drift by the books and such, so I was looking at the hardback section (not those paperbacks...you know what ones I am talking about) and they had David Sedaris's Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim and it was 25% off so I bought it. I felt like I was betraying book stores, but I knew that once I got home I wouldn't want to go back out. And Von's would be closed and I didn't feel like venturing out to Barnes and Noble. I know I know... but a good book for $11.21 I felt I couldn't turn it down.
If you are still with me here, I just wanted to say I have had a nice day so far. Yesterday was great. Lots of fun things tossed in there. I spent the evening with Lisa and we got to talk about a lot of things and she really is a great person, like I am very thankful she asked about Jeff Buckley. hehe I am just reminding myself of Eric asking, "so what brought you guys here tonight". hehehe. Anywho. And then I went over to James's so I could catch Fountains of Wayne on Conan O'Brien. Love Conan. And then today has been really good. I had lunch with James today and got my markout so he could give it to Kristi since Rob is buying her a coffee pot for her birthday tomorrow. And then went back and played with Buster and watched tv while James played WoW. And it made me realize if I don't get classic cable I need to at least get basic so I can watch C-SPAN. I was watching it and on weekends they have BookTv on and they were re-airing the Virgina Festival of Book: Bookish Obssessions Panel and it was really good. The panel was Sara Nelson and A.J. Jacobs. I don't feel I can properly recant what was said, but it was really funny and interesting. I have a feeling, well actually know, that I will re-tell this to some people. So you have been warned! =D
Anywho, all for now. I know I am forgetting a lot, but the events are all stored in my mind or either in another journal of sorts.
Laters!
