swingchickieyesterday i went grocery shopping around 1:15pm. the parking lot was PACKED when i arrived, and the store was full of angry, frustrated people bumping their carts into each other with no manners whatsoever. i couldn't figure out what was going on -- a big sale, perhaps? i mean, entire sections of shelves were wiped out. then it hit me that 1:15pm is the time when every church in the area lets out their noon service. a-HA. note to self: do not shop between 1 and 2pm on sundays.
but of course, now i know that yesterday's crowd was also because of impending snow. double a-ha. no wonder all the milk and bread supplies were decimated. i have to say though, i'm glad i made all that taco soup... that's going to be soooooo good for lunch after i spend a couple of hours shoveling my driveway. yes, today will be a work-from-home day... maybe i'll be able to try sledding in my yard after calling in to my last meeting of the day.
oh, btw -- one of the things i got at the store yesterday was a package of frozen taquitos for dinner... since i was starting up on WW again this morning, i figured i'd have a few of them as one last "splurge" meal. when dinnertime came, i read the heating directions on the box, and then turned the box to its side to open it... and noticed the expiration date. august 2007. not 2008... 2007. the damn taquitos expired a year and a half ago, and were still in the freezer section of the supermarket. grrrrrrrrr.
