Wednesday Evening

[nightdog_barks]

Went to the grocery store today and LIVED TO TELL THE TALE. Heh. We needed just a few things -- milk, cream, bread, etc., and amazingly enough the store wasn't too crazy. The parking lot was a little nuts, but they had extra checkers inside and I got in and out relatively quickly. I did see a few people buying turkeys -- hope they were fresh because they may not be totally thawed by tomorrow. Making a small pork roast tonight -- it really feels like Friday.

Weather guys predicting cold front will be here by tomorrow morning. Hope so; it was weird having to turn on my AC while I was out.

Happy to report that it is no longer snowing like a sumbitch out there.

I probably have another hour or so before heading home. Will have a couple photos from site today.

Yay photos! And safer driving with less snow. :-)

I managed to remember everything when I was at the store yesterday so I didn't have to go. The parking lot at the Walmart I pass on the highway going home was absolutely jammed. The only open spots I saw were at the far end of the lot and there were only a couple of open spots there. Am SO glad I didn't have to stop.

I had the least number of things on my shopping list that we really needed -- anything we were running low on but could hold out until Friday I left off the list, so I could do self-checkout and get out quickly. *g*

You are a brave, brave woman. After last year, I swore no power on earth could compel me to go to the grocery store ever again on the day before Thanksgiving.

Corgiguy and I went out tonight for Mexican food and Refreshing Adult Beverages and there were at least two extended families having dinner there. One had so many people they took up every table across the length of the restaurant. I wonder if that was their holiday meal?

[nightdog_barks]

I was VERY pleasantly surprised by how (relatively) calm it was.

Mmmm, Mexican food sounds good. That may have been a holiday meal -- or it was a solution to not having to cook two gigantic meals (dinner and Thanksgiving).

Our favorite place does the best shrimp quesadillas and fish tacos. Actually, I've never had a bad meal there no matter what we order, but those two items are what I like best.

There was a report on our local news tonight about how Thanksgiving eve has become a super-popular pizza-ordering night. Which I'd never heard, but whatever. We're going to make a small pork roast with a green salad and some sort of side dish.

Sure, rub in the good temperatures. :D

Actually I can't complain too much. -26C this morning gave way to -18C now. It should get even warmer tomorrow, around -10C. Balmy!

^ myself, obviously. Didn't realize I wasn't logged in.

[nightdog_barks]

Balmy, heh. I think it was 84 here today (28.9 C).

[silverjackal]

Heh. So there was only a 60 Celsius degree difference! Wonderful world. :)

Heh, I read your post and was puzzled as to why the store would be crazy, then I remembered that tomorrow is your Thanksgiving. Ours was six weeks ago. It's funny to think of you all celebrating Thanksgiving when the weather is so Christmasy here.

[nightdog_barks]

I stopped at Lowe's (hardware store) to pick up something we needed, and they had a few Christmas trees outside. It's too early! *g*
