* Today’s Costco shopping: 10th time this year, 4th time this month

This was the second time buying Wings of Fire & M&M in a month. I am going crazy about this bad food. This is not good. I should make them last over 2 months.

My last jumbo shrimps lasted almost 5 months. They are a special treat. Sometimes I use them in pasta.

My craving for chocolate is not going away. I need to watch my chocolate intake. My waist size is bigger than it was 6 months ago. Losing weight is very difficult, but somehow I will lose weight.

Anyway, I spent under $100.00

* Today’s Costco Shopping: 7th time this year, 1st time this month

It’s Sunday. I went to Costco at 11 am, before the church people pack the house. I bought some basic stuff. I bought nothing special today.

I am going to Los Angeles for an engagement photography session. I will get you a picture of the Hollywood sign.

Long drive ahead. Long day ahead.

Here we go… it was hazy today

I never put a foot inside L.L.Bean store in my life.  Isn’t that store for rich folks only?  Costco is at #35.  I think it’s not bad for a “Membership Only” store.  Sam’s is not doing bad also.  Good to know.

I had a flat tire.

I thought my car felt funny in the morning, but I just drove to work. When I was at work, one of my neighbors saw my car and noticed a flat. But he didn’t bother to let me know. He could have at least left a note. But he told me about it much later, after I fixed the tire. Hm… I never liked that guy.

These are brand new tires. I just got those tires. I couldn’t believe this happened.

It took me about 10-20 minutes to put a spare tire. That small jack was painful to use.

After work, I went to Costco. There was a 2 hour waiting time. I decided to wait 2 hours.

So, I went to furniture department and set on the couch for an hour. I read a book. Later, I ate a churro and did some more shopping. 2 hours passed slowly.

My car was ready around 8:30 pm (they close at 8:30 pm). I was tired, cold, and hungry.

Costco repaired my tire for free.

I went to Costco to fix a flat tire. This inspired me to get a set of new floor mats for my Camry. This heavy-duty, fancy floor mats were $18.99.

Check it out. I really needed a set of new floor mats for my 2002 Toyota Camry. I didn’t make that mess on the mat. That’s how it was when I bought this car in 2004.
