and I just ate waaaaay too many treats!



I did a Costco run (as well as Walmart and Petco). I'm a glutton for punishment.

I hit Costco at just the right time ~ LUNCH. They had every single food demo person they employ handing out goodies. And I think I tried them all.

(And at Costco there is no rhyme or reason to the order in which the samples are presented: there can be meat, then ice cream, then chips, then something hot and spicy, then cake, then yogurt, etc.)

Today I had bits of the following, in approximately this order:
a meat in a pocket sort of thing, an Italian style meatball, a chip with spinach dip, a brownie with whipped cream, a turkey sausage, some tomato pesto and cream cheese wrapped in a tortilla, a chocolate cupcake, something with curry, some savory meaty gooey hors d'oeuvres thing on bread, another mysterious meaty something in a pocket, a creamy fancy French cheese on bread, and red velvet cake. I passed on the bacon guy because he was shouting "BACON! COSTCO BACON! READY TO EAT JUST HEAT IT UP! BACON!" and he kind of put me off. I mean c'mon, there's no need for yelling. And I know what bacon tastes like, thank you.

So between all my stops today I was inspired to come up with new lyrics to the old 12 Days of Christmas song. Feel free to sing along~
(I will skip all the endless verses and just cut to the chase)

On the 12th day of Christmas, my VISA gave to me~
12 turkey burgers
Too much toilet paper
Lots of coffee filters
9 pounds of coffee
8 printer ink things
7 pounds of crunchies
Chicken pasta salad
Fiiiive ping pong baaalllllssss
4 kitty treats
3 bags of litter
2 loaves of bread
And a cat climbing furniture thingggggg!

The last of which is still in the back seat of the car. I have to figure out how to sneak it into the house without them seeing it. I think I have a plan. If I get out the vacuum cleaner they'll all go outside, so if I act fast I can drag the thing in and hide it in the hall closet. Wish me luck... Read the rest of this post
