Went to sleep around 1:30AM and got up to take Alex to meet the bus at 7:00AM. Came back to the house and slept until 11:00AM.
Mom decided she wanted to go to town so we left here about noon. Stopped at Dollar General, then at K-Mart, then did the grocery thing at Wal-Mart.
While we were out we saw one of the church ladies and she and I commiserated over the lack of good government we are experiencing here in the USA. She and I are very similar in beliefs even though we belong to a staunchly Republican church. That is one of the main reasons I am not attending regularly. I think that we are in for more loss of privacy and more loss of essential freedoms if our government continues on the current path. I feel like we already live in a police state as it is… and social reform is losing ground daily. Ah, well better get off my soap box. It was nice to talk to an older lady who is progressive like myself. I have seen and experienced too much of life to be narrow-minded.
I purchased a new skirt and three shirts on clearance today. I think it is time I wear jeans a little less. The skirt is way long, as are most such things, being 5’4" does not jive with the fashion industry. I think everyone is supposed to be at least 5’6" to wear clothes. I will just have to wear heels, which is hard for someone who lives in cross-trainers, but it will all be alright.
We returned home around 4:30PM so Alex was here to help unload the groceries. He commented, "Why did you buy groceries again so soon?" Well duh, someone around here has been eating all the food up. I did not mean to spend so much today though… next week no groceries. At least, I hope we won’t need any.
I cooked barbequed pork chops, twice baked potatoes, and sugar snap peas tonight. Alex did not like the potatoes though he ate his anyway. The reason we have those peas so often is not that I am culinarily challenged, but because they are one of a select few vegetables that Alex will eat. If it is green he probably does not like it and he hates most yellow and orange things too. Picky, picky, picky.
Well tonight is not the night to delve into history, so I guess that will wait for another day.
Have a pleasant Thursday!
Always,
Jo Ann
