I didn’t even really host the holidays, but they do tend to run away with you.
I discovered that the Super Foodtown, while it might not be my first choice as a supermarket, does carry a lot of the things I used to get at Whole Foods. So we don’t have to go without Tazo teas or the Thai instant soups. I’ll have to check if they have Emergen-C. I’ll be running out soon.
There are some coffee joints, I’ll need to visit to see if they sell ground coffee, and if it’s good.
We thought it was a pretty dry town, but in reality, the liquor stores are plentiful, open late, just more discreet. Cool. We do, of course, like to pretend we don’t need to shop there.
I can take the kids a few times a week to the health club and let them swim indoors. It looks like the ice rink will be a good thing too, so we’ll check that out tomorrow.
The carpet for the girls’ rooms was actually ordered less than two weeks ago. That doesn’t mean I’m not still impatient for it to arrive. We’re stuck living among boxes until that carpet comes in. Maybe we can hit Lowe’s with the next month’s fee for storage. Maybe not.
We need a new dishwasher. The local paper has not been delivered. The blinds in the living room need to be replaced. But. . .what the heck. We have time to do all this stuff. We’re not going anywhere.
