Good morning crew,
This is exactly why I loathe shopping. Yesterday the wife and I both had the afternoon off, so with about three hours to blow we decided to do a little shopping for our upcoming Halloween extravaganza this weekend.
We needed party supplies including:
- Plates, cups, napkins and plastic ware
- Disposable table cloths
- Halloween decorations
- Some indoor party lights
- Some outdoor party lights
- An extension cord (for the outdoor lights)
- A half dozen light bulbs (that one's mostly my fault, I haven't replaced any burnt out bulbs around the house since, oh, last year)
- Some cleaning supplies
- Non-perishable snacks, candy, pop and water
We didn't quite get through the entire list. In three solid hours of shopping we managed to buy two miniature plastic skeletons for $30.
Well, that's it. I don't have any more free time this week, except for 4 or 5 hours Saturday morning which I was going to spend cleaning. So I hope everybody the wife has spent the last two weeks inviting over to the house enjoys sitting in a dimly lit, empty basement, drinking their beer and wine out of coffee cups and water glasses. Because that's about all I'm going to be able to pull off.
Laugh it up,
Joe

"China has overtaken the United States as the world's biggest food and grocery market. That means they buy and consume more food than we do. Which when you think about it of course they do. A half hour after they eat, they're hungry again. It's Chinese food." -Jimmy Kimmel

A woman said to her friend, "I don't know what to do. My husband is such a mess maker that you can't imagine. He doesn't put anything in its place, I am always going around the house organizing things."
The friend says, "Take a tip from me. The first week after we were married I told my husband firmly, 'Every glass and plate that you take, wash when you are done and put back in its place.'"
The first woman asked, "Did it help?"
Her friend said, "I don't know. I haven't seen him since."
