The fact that it is dark and dreary is not helping me get anything done around here. It looks like it is 7 in the morning, even though it's nearly 11. I don't think it's supposed to rain, but hey, I could be wrong. (We need it - 82 days and counting now I think)
So I visited our new Big Lots, and I think we must have the smallest location in the country. Seriously. I was a little surprised at all the people with full carts, because I walked out with just a bar of Zote laundry soap. (I love that stuff) To me, it was about the same prices as Walmart next door, and pretty much the same things? Am I missing something? Because I hear people go on and on about the economy, yet every time I got out, people are buying things like every store has the sale of the year. *shrugs*
Speaking of the economy, our local food bank - my favorite one to donate to - was broken into last week. It wasn't enough that they stole things - they actually trashed foods and made a mess. Jerks! I don't know if they have arrested anyone yet, but karma will get the best of them, I hope. The folks over there are already struggling to help the community as it is, and then this.
My neighbor still has not cut his grass. Our street looks awful lately :( Empty houses and unkept. How am I supposed to sell this place next Spring if this keeps up?!
I love that the new Caeser dog food comes with a resealable lid. I wish they'd turn around and do the same for cat food. It gets tiring opening all those cans. In fact, someone start selling a #10 can of cat food for those of us with multiple cats, please! LOL
They do, huh? Zombies bring to life our deepest fears Sorry, I don't "fear" zombies. I call it being prepared for whatever gets thrown my way - which has been a lot over the years. Others would have thrown in the towel and checked out. Me? No fear. I get cranky, I whine, but in the end, I toss on my big girl panties and move on to the next wrench Murphy's Law throws my way. Disasters happen? Yeah, well, it's just another day over here. Been there, done that. My aim is just fine if I need to because practice makes perfect. ;)
Now this looks right up our alley: The zombie game for people with brains I think I know what we're getting as the family gift for Christmas! ;)
By the way, stop the press - DH has decided he has too many video games and movies. I about fainted. FINALLY! He actually turned down my cashing in for a Game Stop gift card from MyPoints and asked for one that would get him camping gadgets instead. Well, knock me over with a feather! LOL
Folks, I am ALL about the zombie craze - obviously - but I'd like to whisper a little thing in your ear: some of you are being taken for a ride. Slapping the words "Zombie Slayer" onto a weapon and pricing it $20-50 above a model without it? Stupidity on the buyer's end. If you want that little phrase, it costs pennies. Go buy a regular weapon and slap it on yourself. This is the end of a public service announcement.
I think these popcorn buckets are hysterical!

I hate those mornings the alarm doesn't go off - the hubby is a bear until he's had his first cup of coffee, so naturally he's a grumpy bear if he's running late for work with no coffee. :)
I can't wait until we get our hour back in about a month - sure, it'll get dark earlier, but it won't be so dark in the morning. Plus with it getting dark earlier, Little Dude will actually fall asleep closer to his bedtime. Hopefully.
I haven't really seen a huge savings at Big Lots here, either.
That really sucks about the food bank - why on earth someone would steal and vandalize a place that's there to help people is beyond me.
Unkempt yards would make selling a house hard - I'm hoping the neighbors aren't up to their annoying loud muscle car and dirt bike antics when we try to sell our house next year. At least their grass will be cut. ;)
Resealable pet food would be awesome - and if that were the case I'd probably get some for our pets more often than I do.
That popcorn bucket is hysterical! :)

That is so sad about the food bank. I don't understand people that can do that. If you are hungry and take food, that is one thing but why trash it?
We donate whenever we can. We had a huge garden this year and took them a ton of fresh veggies.
That is absolutely horrible what happened at the food bank. I mean, what was the purpose? To do something bad that will hurt a lot of people?
I am so scared of Zombies but I would get that popcorn tub!
Karma is a bitch so those people will get what they have coming! I would eat skinny pop popcorn out of anything. I think they put crack in it!! Visiting from Stacy's random thoughts
That popcorn bucket is pretty awesome; I'd own one! Amazing what people will do. It's pretty low when they start hitting a food bank.
