They are here
They are here
I have been complaining about my socks for several years now.
My complaints:
So, this is what I did:
Today, I brought my female friend to Costco. She has the same size feet as mine.
She went to Costco barefoot, wearing sandals.
We went to the lady’s underwear section where Calvin Klein socks were at. I found a pack of socks that was opened (somebody must have tried it on already). She tried the socks – it was a perfect fit for her.
So, I bought 9 packs (36 pairs total, $89.91+ tax = $97.78).
As always, $97.78 seems a lot of money for socks. But they are quality socks at $2.50/pair. And I may not buy another pair of socks for 10 years. I believe it was smart shopping. For example, Longs Drugs sells really ugly, cheap socks for $5/pair.
As we were checking out, a lady behind us said “Those are a lot of socks”.
My friend kept saying, “You wear girls’ socks, GIRLS~!!”
I like these socks. They look just like men’s dress-socks, except they fit me well.
I will rotate these socks about 5-7 times a year (I will wear the same socks 5-7 times a year). So, they will last many years.
I also wear white socks. I have about 40 pairs of white socks, and they need to be replaced as well.
I also need some brown socks.
Update 2021 – 11 years later, I still wear these socks, but rarely.
I told my friend how tasty Costco Pineapple was. Then we talked about how we cut pineapple. I have never seen anyone else cutting pineapple before. I came up with my own way to cut pineapples. I figured that’s how everyone else is doing.
I use this method to cut watermelon, Mellon, cantaloupe, & etc…
Anyway, it was difficult to explain how I cut pineapple over the phone, so I told her “Ok, ok, I will shoot a video so you will see how I do”.
Here’s the video I sent her.
* Oh yeah, I was listening to Christmas music. They were playing it on my cable TV channel already.
Nothing special… (chicken, fish, egg, vitamin…)
I bought one more sweater – another edition from Calvin Klein ($19.99)
I spent less than $70.00 today.
I haven’t updated my blog, not because I was sick, too busy, or lazy.
I have absolutely nothing going on in my life. This is good. This is how I would like my life to be – a life with no drama. I just want to live everyday life happily and positively. And I would hope tomorrow will be just as same as today. Life is good. Anyway, I had little to talk about. That was all.
I plan to go to Costco next week.
Shopping wise? I cannot think of anything else to buy. I would like to buy a lot of stuff, but they are all luxury items, and I don’t have much money.
I still practice guitar. I love my new guitar. It’s been almost 1 year, and it’s been a dream. I still cannot believe I own a real Les Paul, not a fake one.
I am not a good player. But it’s a lot of fun practicing.
NBA season started.
I missed the last episode of “Desperate Housewives” – 🙁
I wonder what happened to Susan.
I’ve been listening to Christmas music a lot.
I still eat very good. I eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day (Mon – Fri). I don’t eat red meat during the weekdays.
Now I weigh myself at 156lb in the morning. (Remember? I used to be 164lb last year). I stopped running, but I will start running again. I still can do 10 chin-ups easily.
We have a new employee at work. This young dude is so incredibly handsome. He looks like a Calvin Klein model. I am not kidding. He just came from Ukraine, so he even has this shy and humble personality with an accent. Girls will go crazy on him (and some guys).
Anyway… really, not much going on. But it’s good.
I enjoy my coffee every morning. I go to sleep with a smile every night. I love my bed.
24 hours a day, my life is being pampered by (semi) luxury items, made possible by Costco. I cannot afford a lot of items if there was no Costco. Or I’ll have to look everywhere for a special discount. I don’t have time for that.
Anyway, I’m here. Nothing’s going on.
I’ll keep in touch.
God bless everyone. Please take care.
These Christmas candies are only available for the holiday season (October – December). So, I had to stock them up.
Chocolates of the World expires on June 1, 2011. So, I put one jug in the freezer and the second jug in the refrigerator. This way, I will enjoy fresh chocolate until the next holiday season. I’ll make the cookies to last several months. I couldn’t find the expiration date on the cookies. I may have to buy a few more cans of cookies. My guests love those cookies. They eat ’em up.
$80.00 for candy sounds extreme, but they will last a long time. If you look at the entire year, I spend less money on candy than most people. I don’t even drink soda too often (to save money).
Bad pictures – my apartment has a bad lighting
This is what I did last year. I bought 4 jugs of Chocolates of the World and put “opening dates” on them. I still haven’t finished the last jug.
Jose’s Coffee came to my Costco today. I bought a bag of Butterscotch Toffee coffee.
I will enjoy this coffee throughout the Holiday season. I was hoping Jose Coffee would come to my Costco warehouse. Jose’s Coffee will complete my holiday season in 2010. I was excited.
Of course, I bought a bunch of candies. I always eat chocolate.
I bought a set of fancy soaps as a Christmas gift for my friend. I figured girls like that kind of stuff. I don’t know what I’ll do if she doesn’t like this… I guess I’ll give her some cash.
Coupon saved $6.00 (Vitamin B & Dove soaps)
As I was checking out, 2 Costco employees commented about the number of candies I had.
