Costco shopping – September 27, 2011. 

Chocolates of the World is back. I bought 5 jugs last year. I still have one fresh jug left. So, this time I bought 3 jugs.

I also bought 2 cans of Christmas Cookies (Belgian Cookies). I wanted to buy 1 more can, but I don’t have money.

Other than that, everything else I bought was good (healthy) item.

Costco was packed with Christmas stuff. We are in full swing now.

I went to Costco during my lunchtime. I didn’t have time for a hot dog. Also, I try not to eat meat on weekdays. I try to keep in shape.

As I was getting ready to leave Costco, I saw an old lady at the parking lot, trying to load her trunk with heavy items. So, I stopped & got out of my car. I said, “Let me help you. Pretty young thing like you….” “I am 84”, she said with laughter. I loaded her trunk as we made small talk. Soon after, I took her empty cart and told her to drive carefully.

I bought a small pot of basil 10 days ago at local Smart & Final. I enjoy fresh basil on my pasta and tomatoes. I eat tomatoes at work as a snack. I sprinkle some freshly chopped basil on my tomato. They taste so fresh.

But my plant is dying rather quickly. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

I give 1/2 inch of water. And I leave the pot where I get partial Sunlight.

I thought I would enjoy fresh basil from this pot forever. I am going to buy another pot and give it another try. I would like to figure out how to keep them alive for a long time. Maybe I don’t live in the right climate? I don’t know. I must find out.

This is why Costco shopping is exciting. You don’t know what you will see next.

Minute Key is here – you can copy your home/office keys on the spot. 

  • You cannot copy car keys or any other funky looking keys (obviously)
  • You only get to copy 1 key per order. If you order 3 copies, that means you will get 3 copies of 1 key. You don’t get the chance to switch to the next key.
  • You must pay more if you want the key with design (pictures)
  • The cheapest copy is 1 key for $1.49
  • I bought the value pack – 3 keys for $3.00
  • My copy works fine! I am happy with the result.

Lying to a boyfriend “I am pregnant” has to be illegal. That happened to me three times in the past. I tell ya, it can really mess up a person. Horrible, horrible thing to do…

Happy Labor Day, everyone.

I don’t work physical labor. But I can use a long weekend. I’ve been putting so much over-time that I’ve been totally wiped out for several weeks now. I can use some sleep.

I was home alone for the weekend. On Saturday and Sunday, I ate baby back rib and ribeye steak.

I listened to a lot of Christmas music this weekend. I burned Christmas candles and watched Polar Express. Polar Express is a relatively new movie, but it quickly became my favorite Christmas movie. 

It’s 2 am Labor Day (Monday) morning. Summer is unofficially over. I have a door opened right now. There is a hint of winter in the air. It’s crisp and cold. I’m going to bed now.

Costco will be closed for Labor Day. I wonder if Bed Bath and Beyond will be opened. I was home alone for 2 days straight. I want to drive around a little.

Good night~

PS. I thought about opening a Match.com account. I’ll think about it later.
