But all day long I’ve been hearing how the weather is going to get bad. Earlier today Alden got an email from the CTA saying the weather is going to be bad and I just got a Trib Alert saying the same. I hope I’m home by the time it hits!
Costco, My New Friend
October 17th, 2007 · 7 Comments
Last Friday night Dallas still had his rental car from traveling on business that week so we went to Costco. The only time I’d been to Costco before was to get vacation supplies while in Kaua’i, which means we pretty much just hit up the liquor, snacks and local music sections. I’d never taken the time to really look through Costco or walk down each aisle. (See, Phil Ponce, I don’t lie!)
I don’t know how many times I said “Wow, that’s a lot of (fill in the blank)” that night. A lot. And not only did I buy industrial sized shampoo, a 3 pack of huge bottles of ketchup, and 8 5.5 pounds of stir-fry vegetables, but I also got a Kenneth Cole jacket for $30 and a newly-released paperback novel for $8. I think I like Costco.
