Grocery Shopping - Fun or Not?

There are times when I love going grocery shopping and then there are times it’s not really fun!  I probably should classify that as a drag, boring or potential time waster. But it’s a necessary thing to do.  We all need groceries, toiletries, food, etc. unless you are extremely wealthy and can afford someone to do the shopping for you.  I for one am not that wealthy.  What I’m trying to say is that at times I love to shop.

Part of the reason I like to shop is that most grocery stores keep the same general layout.  Some change little things but for the most part they stay the same, which makes it easier to memorize where everything is.  Our grocery store is this way.  The only thing that has changed in the last 2 years is that they removed the photo area.  (Guess it wasn’t making money)  For instance our grocery store.  You walk in the right side (the best side) and you have Soaps and makeup, medicines, acne creams, vitamins, toilet paper, tooth brushes, then along the back and far side you have milk, eggs, meats and cheeses then you get to the veggies.  Then all of the other boxed goods are all on the inside aisles.  (I’m sure you can figure out whats left with me itemizing it :)  )  This makes it fun as I know where almost “everything” is.

Do you like to go grocery shopping?

So glad it’s Friday

Although I didn’t do a whole lot of work this week, it still seemed like a really long week and I’m glad it’s Friday.

So it’s strangely boring here tonight.  Not much going on except the TV.  Wife is in Oklahoma for the weekend and I’m sitting here thinking about the next sentence I’m going to write in this post.  The funny thing is that what you don’t realize is the pause it took between the last sentence and this one.  It was like 10 minutes.  And you can thank plurk and twitter for that, not to mention I’m checking out new plug-ins for the blog, etc.

OK so another 15 just went by, phone calls this time..  Tomorrow I’m going to take my little brother to see “The Hulk.”  (I’m a Big Brother, Big Sisters Volunteer)  He is pretty excited to see it.  This weekend seems jammed packed so hopefully my time management skills will be top notch.

Weekend to do list:

  • Coach Soccer Practice
  • “The Hulk” Movie
  • Shopping for Anniversary Present for my lovely wife
  • Work on the Mountain Bikes
  • Network Consulting at a local business

I think I can pull this list off..  At least I hope so!
