On Sunday, I made a Facebook comment requesting a snow day. I hadn't looked at the forecast in a while and had no clue what was to come. I checked out Weather.com and couldn't believe the future. Our predicted snow days are mostly false. By Monday, I was convinced and totally bet that the world would not function until Saturday. Well folks, this girl was right, and I apologize. I'm no wizard, I promise I wasn't trying to make it happen.
I've always dreamed of a 4-day required vacation to my house. I love snow days. I guess I never realized how much I would NOT love FOUR snow days. I'm as lazy as they come, but I am going insane. We have made it out of the house 2 times. I only went because I figured that if Brian were to die in a terrible car crash, I would rather go down with him. Brian just HAD to take a trip to Rosa's, Family Video, and Whataburger.
Like I said, I predicted this war with Santa Claus and his North Pole weather, so I prepared. I bought groceries to prepare meals at home for the entire week. Well, I didn't really consider that Brian can't go more than a couple of days without Whataburger, so we still had to get out. When we went to Whataburger, Brian ordered our usuals, #1 with cheese plain and dry. Then I was unprepared and he threw in strawberry and apple fried pies. Of course I had to jump on that train and joined the strawberry fried pie of goodness.
If you know me, you know that I need some Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla scooped onto pie. That led us to pick up a few bare necessities at Walmart Neighborhood Market around the corner. That place was insane. It was very interesting looking around at the panicked shoppers in line trying to get in and out as quickly as possible. That joint was packed. Most people just had an armful of groceries. Some folks had a cart with a good amount. Then SOME people had a cart completely full.
As I waited in line, I judged these people. Really?! This family just HAD to have a cart completely full of junk?! I mean, sure, my checkout only consisted of a pint of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla, a pint of their newest flavor Krazy Kookie Dough, and break and bake Chocolate Chip Lovers Cookie Dough, but my stuff was REALLY needed. I looked at everyone's items, Psshhh waffles? Psshhh chicken nuggets? Psshhh toilet paper? Really guys? You just HAD to get these items in terrible conditions? Then I finally got a look at the guy in front of me as he stepped up to the plate. He had 3 items. 2 Liter of Pepsi (yuck), frozen shredded hash browns (I could go for that)...and...a pregnancy test.
Alright, he wins. If there is any Bare Necessity that is worth fighting the ice skating rink of a parking lot, I would say a pregnancy test would be at the top of the list. I guess my Krazy Kookie Dough pint of ice cream could have waited till Saturday. So here's a shout out to the Neighborhood Market dude in scrubs, I hope you got the results you wanted.
After I picked up a package of chocolate chip cookie dough...only oatmeal raisin packages were left.
I guess we weren't the only one with an emergent need for chocolate chip cookies,
Lindsey
