Jen--

That is hilarious--did you see how much she got? Awesome for her. I feel that way at the grocery store sometimes and I only have 2!!! We just discovered a store here that has self-checkout and the boys LOVE that. It cracks them up to hear that little computer voice say, "$2.99, place item on shelf.....

I did see how much she got...I would have bought something for myself and rubbed the kids' noses in it!

Just kidding, I probably wouldn't

I've never done self-checkout here...maybe that would be worth checking out! I only have one, but it's not always easy getting through the grocery store. I'm going after work tonight, but my mom is watching DS while I go! Quality time with Grandma, and Mommy gets to shop in peace. Everyone wins!

It's raining again here in WI...we got water in the basement again last night. Not a lot, just enough to cover about 1/2 the floor in the storage room. There has just been no break in the rain for the water to evaporate and/or soak in to the ground. I'm so sick of rain...and it's supposed to last 2 more days!

I think I will take this opportunity (next week, since we're going away this weekend) to clean out the storeroom, and haul some stuff to Goodwill or the dump. Half of the stuff in my storage room is already out in the rec room anyway!

Just seen the news about the floods in the US - is everyone OK or is the bad weather the reason why it was so quite on the DIS last night?

Heather

We're ok, just water in the basement as mentioned earlier.

I know I wasn't on last night because we were having lightning...didn't want to fry the PC.

We actually had a modem get fried by lightning once, and our garage door opener, of all things!

 

[Timon]

I think I will have to go to Pluto's RIGHT before dinner and fill up on chicken strips and fries, cus this one sucks!!!!

Scott has decided that it is time to show is true eating style. He did not want to orginally minus things because he did not want to come across picky but he decided it is time to make his changes to things.

 

[MinnMick01]

Scott's happy then!

DH here. NO I am not. There is no prime rib or filet mingon. That and look at the changes I have to make just to eat the stuff.

Heather

Yeah, that's true huh? We normally don't have kids with us so I didn't even think about the kids menu!!! Great idea, thanks Heather!
