The topic: Sometimes I get cold

----------------------------------------------

Sometimes the cool breeze feels good, other times I just want to shut the house up and roll up in a blanket.

Yesterday afternoon was one of them.

We get in the car to go to dinner. Oooo, I'm in heaven, it's nice and toasty warm. Sadly, Brian was fresh out of a hot shower and he was already toasty warm. "Do you mind if I open the window?" he asks me. "Sure, just a little bit though." I feel the breeze. I don't like it.

So, I got a great idea. I've got a couple of Snuggies I got during a Woot! off. I'm putting one in the car. Then he can open his window and I'll still be toasty warm.

I knew they'd come in handy some day.

The topic: So, our local CostCo (Santee)

----------------------------------------------

Carries only Scoop Away litter. I’ve come to hate it because of the dust. I complained to the Scoop Away people and they sent me a coupon for $14.00.

I shared my complaint on FaceBook. We used to use Litter Purrfect, it’s what the Santee store carried. Then they didn’t. We used to really like Litter Purrfect. I even posted about it here in the blog.

Anyway, one of my SoCal friends said they have it at her CostCo (she lives in Huntington Beach) and that I should see if our local CostCo will carry it.  I contacted the Litter Purrfect people last week and got an email from them.  They do carry it in some of the San Diego stores, one being in Mission Valley.  Yay!

Brian stopped on his way home from Coronado this morning and called me, told me they had it.  He wanted to know which size he should get. He got the 30# lemon grass scented litter, three containers of it. That should be enough to see if we really like it.  It’s eight bucks for thirty pounds. It’s about two cents less a pound that the Scoop away. And the container is twelve pounds less, much easier to carry around the house from litter box to litter box.  I’m happy. He checked on getting a discount, but you have to buy a truckload. *lol* Not that we wouldn’t use a truckload, but I’m sure it’s a truckload of money and where would you store a truckload of cat litter?   cwm34

So, I’m sitting here and he pulls out the receipt and said “oh, I got you a surprise”.  A surprise? For me?  “Is it in the kitchen?”  (Okay, okay, I’m crappy food driven, what can I say? I have no excuses.)  “No, it’s outside.”  I look out the door. “Did you get me a new tree?” I said, my eyes scouring the yard.  “Yes. Well, no. Well, kind of.”  I go outside, not venturing into the grass. It’s rained a bit this morning, I’m fresh out of the shower, wearing socks on my feet. Don’t want to get my socks wet. Of course, I could always take them off, but why?

I look down by the pepper plants. I see the top of another plant.  “You got me a new tomato plant!”  Now, we’ve already got four growing, got them for a buck each at WalMart the day after we got the avocado trees. And just yesterday when I was checking out the weed growth (I had most of them pulled last month), I saw a little tomato plant, coming up from seed.

So, if these guys take off this year (they didn’t last year), we should have lots of tomatoes.

Yay!
