Talk about chaos. We headed out to the grocery store yesterday afternoon to do our weekly shopping. Of course I completely forgot that the weather channel mentioned a slight possibility of snow. If I had remembered at all I would have completely avoided the grocery store at all costs. You know how it is. Everybody runs out for bread and milk, which I’ve never understood. The bread part I understand, but I’ve never gotten the milk thing. I don’t worry too much about stocking up on things that don’t have to be cooked because we can cook on the wood stove if the power goes out.
Anywho, that place was so crazy I didn’t even bother getting half the stuff on my list. I grabbed the basic stuff I needed for dinner last night, then I waited almost 45 minutes in line to check out.
By the time we left there we were both ill. I hate dealing with crowds. It always puts me in a horrible mood. I totally forgot to grab cat litter and a battery for the smoke detector that’s beeping, so I’ll have to attempt to do that again today.
Of course all these people were freaking out for nothing. We barely got a dusting of snow that lasted for maybe 2 hours before it all melted away. I don’t think they even had anything stick in town. We’re at the base of the mountain, so we always get more. Now we’re supposed to have a chance of snow flurries tonight, but that’s about it. At least I got to see snow. Now I will be happy if I don’t see anymore this year.
Now Hubby wants to head out to look at tv stands, and I hope the stores aren’t crowded today. I’d rather spend the day sitting right here doing nothing, but I’ve already done that for a couple days. I know he can’t stand being cooped up at home, and it’s driving him crazy.

Bleh. I've never understood that myself. Around here, it snows and I swear, people act like they'll never see a grocery store again! Around here the stuff that goes first is the bread, milk, and bottled water. *rolls eyes* Hope you can get the stuff you need today without having to deal with crowds.
