Pic Of The Day - 11.16.15 - Who Knew?

So...at first I thought these were cranberries but I knew better. Upon further inspection, I found out they are Rose Hip. The things you learn at the grocery store in the floral department.

And I see this. I'm not sure what it is but it's pretty.

(No) Pic Of The Day - 03.03.15 - (blank)

It was a busy day and I meant to take a photo of some Carolina Jasmine but I didn't. And then I meant to take a photo of my groceries that I purchased at HEB but I didn't. And then I fell asleep and it was tomorrow.

So the lesson is, take a photo of it while you're thinking about it or else you never will.

And we'll count this as the first day of the year that I didn't take a photo. And with this post, I AM caught up!

Pic Of The Day - 02.27.15 - Spam

Who knew that SPAM comes in different flavors? Not me! And, it wasn't until I was strolling through HEB on Dunlavy that I noticed it. Yes, I was just strolling along, minding my own business, as I am so prone to doing and there it was. Who knew?

So...I stopped at HEB, as I am so prone to doing, and picked up a few things. As I proceeded to the check-out line, I noticed these orchids.

I walked over to admire and price them and all I did was admire. I didn't want to spend $69.99 on a plant that I would possible kill. So, how does my garden grow? Just fine at HEB!

and in with the used. My refrigerator died a slow death. It was to the point where I was a afraid to leave anything in it because it might spoil. Through the magic of Facebook I found out that a friend had one for sale so I bought it! On Saturday I realized it was a bit on the sparse side so I went to Kroger to make groceries. It is slowly filling up!

Do The Right Thing?

On Saturday I went to Kroger (not the Disco Kroger on Montrose) to make groceries. I needed to buy some chicken soup, cold medicine, tissues and anything else I thought I might need to get me through this period of illness (doesn't that sound dramatic?).

What I discovered is that the soup was on sale, 3/$5.00. It was quite the bargain. So I loaded up on soup and by the time I added that to the hand basket, I had well over 20 items...oh, the tortilla chips were also on sale so I had to load up on those and they wouldn't fit in the basket. Anywho...

Knowing that I have more than 15 items, I get into a full-service line because the Express Lane and the Scan-It-Yourself Lane have signs that state, 15 Items Or Less.

So I'm standing there with a full basket and bags of tortilla chips in the other hand. A manager of the store walks over to me and tells me to follow her. She is taking me to one of the Express Lanes. I tell her that I have more than 15 items and she says, "If it is all in the basket, you are fine." (...but it wasn't all in the basket.) So I follow her to an Express Lane that has a line but the Scan-It-Yourself Lane has a few open kiosks so I high-tail it over to one of those and proceed to scan my 22 items.

I did keep an eye on the whereabouts of the manager because if another customer decided to go all Whitney Houston On Crack on me for having more than 15 items, I was going to blame it on the manager.
