Facination

Today's post is a facination of mine . . . it's about shopping.

It's not that I LIKE to go to the store, but the store facinates me. Not just the grocery store, but lots of stores. You can go to one place (particularly Super stores) and get so many types of things. It's a one stop place to get the things you need to run your household.

You see all types of people. They each have their mental or paper list of things that they need. And each list is as different as the people are. It's amazing. I like to step back and watch people looking over their lists and marking things off. In case you hadn't noticed, I'm a people watcher.

And speaking of lists . . . how do people go to the store without a paper list? If I go to the store without a paper list and even just need a few things, I usually leave with 3 or 4 other things that I realized that I needed while in the store, but forget at least one of the items that I had planned on buying before I went into the store.

Yesterday I thought I had a good day. Hubby took Baby Boo Boo to Nana's in the morning. So, I left from home to go to Wal-Mart to get a new umbrella stroller, two calculators (Wyatt threw our remaining one behind the couch over the weekend) and some postcard stock for his birthday invitations. I didn't get the postcard stock because they didn't have it. But, at lunch, I got the postcard stock at Office Depot along with an organizer that I needed and some AA batteries. . . a good day, yes?

Then, when I got to Nana's, she let me know that she needed teething tablets and baby Tylenol. So, guess where I need to go to today? I decided against Wal-Mart and I will go to K-Mart and pick up some formula since it will save me the trip over the weekend.

Next Friday, we have the afternoon off at work. I think it's Good Friday. I have big plans. Baby Boo Boo will stay at Nana's and I will go get a haircut and make my Wal-Mart and Kroger trip and not have to run those errands over the weekend.
