In the last of the May Grey, we headed off to Costco yesterday before our
usual round of evening news. I worry
about the families on Hawaii, but I don’t care a fig for Rosanne. She’s leading the news. I really am angry about Trump also, still I truly
care about our country. I care about our
world also, come to think of it.
He spent the day making a Costco list.
Having been broke for many years, I always ask first, “Do we have any
money?” We did.
So after pizza and a Very Berry Sunday, I bought cookies. I got one of those giant jars of animal
crackers. Yes, I know I certainly don’t
need the calories, but I buy them for the store. I grab a handful on days that I am there, but
everyone else must grab a few too. They
vanish fast. They also weren’t on the
list.
The list was, fiber, Angus burgers, muffins, and G’s breakfast protein
drink. We walked out with a whole cart
full. A book with new pictures of Ocean
Beach, then blueberry muffins, and a pre-cooked chicken, followed by the fiber,
and lastly an American flag. Yes, a
modern flag with 50 stars. Our flag is a
48 star flag. This new one is a class
act that came with a pole too.
I confess. I react. The airways are full of commercials for the
upcoming election. I already voted. I don’t want to hear any more. I confess this is the first time I have voted
a full party ticket. In reaction, I
know. I’m going to hang that American
flag out above the front door too. In
reaction.

- Herself: I don’t wave my politics here, but it’s time we all get out and vote our convictions. Have a coach coming this afternoon with how-to tips on sit ups with broken ribs. Picture: 2007. Yes, the pizza was perfection with gooey melting cheese and tons of veggies.

- Watching: NG’s, “One Strange Rock.”

Costco is a dangerous place but we love it don't we?
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to say I always buy more than my list allows.
DeleteI refuse to pay a store to shop there, so one reason for no Costco shopping. Everything they have is TOO big for us. We live in a small house with no extra storage. There are just the two of us and we use very little of anything. That's the main reason I refuse to shop at Costco. A third reason, the store is too big and cumbersome for me to manage.
DeleteIs your November ballot set already that you can vote on it in May? Are issues already set, too? As a former local government employee, I am impressed!
ReplyDeleteWe have a mid term election here in California. Governor and those folks. and district attorney here.
DeleteI've already sent in my ballot, too. I pretty much always vote a straight party ticket, but have occasionally faltered when a woman was running. Now, I vote the party and especially women of the party who run. Terry chided me for my Delaine Eastin vote b/c I didn't think much of her as Supt of Schools but she's the only female democrat running for Governor so I had to.
DeleteGood for you.
DeleteHee hee Costco. The nearest one is 70 miles away but a fellow here has a nice side business of taking orders and filling them and delivering them to you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thing. I hope he doesn't charge much.
DeleteYoi look happy in that photo, Mage. it looks good on you.
ReplyDeleteVery great post. I simply stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your weblog posts.

I do love Costco, Mage. We got a huge tray of strawberries last week for $2.99. Good grief! How awesome is that? I ALSO LOVE that photo of you and G. You are the cutest couple. After next week, I’ll be taking a month long hiatus until my arm heals.
ReplyDeleteneedless to say, we didn't get out under a hundred dollars this time
ReplyDeleteOoh, I am glad we don't have a Costco here. Too easy to over shop. Voting is the one power we have left. Like you, I plan to keep flexing that muscle.
ReplyDeleteAlways vote. You would miss if you couldn't. Speaking of which, we have a provincial election coming up this week.
