Blissfully slothful

twicketfaceAfter work yesterday, I went to Aldi’s to grab some groceries. Marie and I bought these cloth bags to use for groceries instead of relying on the supermarket (and the cutting down of more trees) to provide them. Unfortunately, I didn’t check my car beforehand (they were at home) and could only buy what I could carry. Which lead me to a cool idea – what if that was the new consumer rule: You can only buy what you can carry. How much smarter of a consumer would you be if there were limits on what you could buy. Anyway, I could carry a gallon of milk, bunch of bananas, bag of celery and a box of cereal. Got it all for under $5, so I was feeling pretty good.
Got home, made a kick ass supper of side dishes (mac and cheese on one side of the plate, stuffing on the other) and waited for our photographer to come over to get our re-order of the wedding pictures (plugplug http://www15.brinkster.com/brianmurton/wedding.htm plugplug). He showed up and was at our place for about 10 minutes, as Marie had written out the order on a sheet of paper and he just needed to verify that he knew what we wanted.
After he left, Marie and I continued on our Rummy 5,000,000 tournament. After 5 hands, I retained my commanding 220 point lead. We’re damn near the 10,000 mark, so we’ve got a long way to go. It’s just so enjoyable to me to be able to be a homebody and enjoy it. I always have fun with Marie and we always find ways to laugh and be silly.
I watched most of the Monday night game and read my new copy of Adbusters. The issue before it was pretty odd (ok, so they are all odd), but this one is pretty great. Lots of information and not so much of the abstract. http://www.adbusters.org if you are interested.
I also had Marie proofread my second letter to Best Buy. Fear not, this will all appear on my website for your perusal. Forgot to bring the copy to work, so I’ll have to print it off tomorrow and mail it out. Not that it matters, since I was drove past the Oshkosh Post Office en route to work today and saw police cars blocking off every entrance. Found out when I got to work that they found a ‘suspicious’ package that they are investigating and shut down the post office. That was about an hour and a half ago, but I just heard that they are re-opening and everything is fine. Why do I feel that this is just the beginning?
I think this is my earliest LJ posting in a long time. I’ll try to write more later but I’ve got a few projects going on at work.
