Saturday shopping

You Costco shoppers need to explain this one to me, LOL. They supposedly opened at 9:30 on Saturday. My goal was to get there at 9:30, but well, of course dh is never ready to go on time anymore, so we got there at 9:36am. The parking lot was packed. People were already coming out of the store with their purchases. In being opened only 6 minutes? How? Still too crowded for me. We picked up our 3 out of 4 pair of glasses and then attempted to walk around and see what they have. Too many people to weave in and out of/carts. We, of course, found several items to put in our cart and of course the checkout was just over $100. I think I've heard that it's impossible to leave Costco without spending $100 LOL. I will say that the store brand "miralax", that dh uses, is half the price of the generic brand I buy from Amazon or Walmart, so that was a deal. They don't carry the bread or toilet paper brands we use. With the short amount of time we spent there, I was able to see somewhat what they had. I don't see myself shopping there a whole bunch, but it will be good for some bulk things. 

When annual flowers start being sold around here, I will check and see what they may have for hanging baskets. I'm guessing I could get some nice big ones (if they have those seasonally) for what I pay at Home Depot or Lowes. I also know I will be going back for sure at Christmas time for all the big outdoor wreaths I want.

Leaving the city was around 11am so we decided to grab lunch at Wendy's drive thru. Then dh asked if I wanted a Peanut Buster parfait from Dairy Queen (to make up for eating my donut the other day, LOL).  said sure. We pull in to the drive thru, dh says the order and the guy says "I'm sorry sir, but we are out of ice cream". DH laughs and says DQ...is out of ice cream?! haha!". So, no PB Parfait for me :(

We had purchased a couple of frozen items at Costco - big boxes, of course. As we were putting those and our other frozen stuff in my chest freezer, dh said this freezer is kind of a pain, isn't it? I said yes, I now wish I would have gotten an upright instead. So, we talked a bit and decided we are going to get an upright and probably just try to sell the chest freezer. 

Then dh totally ruined his big shop door yesterday. He doesn't even really know how, but it wasn't working right, he was trying to fix it and had a 2x4 board he was trying to use to hold it up some while he worked on it. Then he laid the 2x4 down, but it was under the doorway area. The door (this door is HUGE and heavy and like 22 ft high) and came slamming down and the 2x4 was in the way and the bottom of the door is all bent up and it actually bent several of the panels all the way up to the windows. So, now we either have to see if that can be fixed or have to replace the whole dang door. gRRR! He's lucky he didn't get hurt.

It was a beautiful warm day yesterday and we get that again today. DH might even have to mow for the first time. The lawn has really grown and all green already. I'm sure after today's sunshine and 72 degrees, it's almost time. My chicken continues to do well and seems ok, other than, while she does go up into the roosting part at night, she still isn't getting up on the roosting bar, with the other hen. But other than that she seems good. She greets me at the door when I go out to see them or take a treat.

I plan to make a banana cream pie today. Yum. I haven't made one of those in awhile and they are dh's favorite pie. 

One of my store brand purchases was some chocolate cupcakes. DH eats the hostess cupcakes so I added a box of the store brand to try. He hasn't tried yet, but I tried one yesterday. Yuck. I can totally tell the difference and I know for sure he would. I can't quite describe the taste but it's that same taste as those Christmas cookies I made from the refrigerated cookie dough. I can't even describe the taste - but it's the same. 

I have tomorrow off work for my dr appointments. I hope my glasses get in and I can pick those up, as well. They seem to do their notifications at 3:25pm, but I won't be there that late, so the lady said to just call and check to see if they came in.
