It's just a wonderful thing to walk along and look over to one side and watch the water fowl ...and then the other side...planes taking off and landing.

Was looking forward to my walk but had to stop in a Ocean State Job lot to buy a shower curtain liner. When I got to the checkout, I was unloading things like packages of Newman's Own goodies, bottles of salad dressing, hair conditioner, lotion, a toothbrush, packets of flower seeds, 2 bags of potting soil, etc. I told the clerk that I had just gone in there to buy a shower curtain liner (which is outside now, offgassing ) and he said he didn't see a shower curtain liner. I told him that I did, indeed get one....it's coming.

Then I put a mattress pad on the counter (the same one's that were selling at Macy's last week for $24...got it for $16 :D), followed by an adjustable lawn rake (it's kewl!), a package of cups and then FINALLY...the shower curtain .

When he gave me the total for the 28 items (including the now offgassing shower curtain liner), I asked him for my employee discount. He looked a little surprised..."oh, you work here"? No, I don't but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask . He gave me a look and I said, "I know, I know shut up already lady, and get out of the store". And he said that's what the name of the store should be .

I was kinda pooped after buying 28 items so instead of the walk, I came home and played with the adjustable rake...it's cool!!!

We just got the one day of great weather. I actually put up a little pup tent and put my sleeping bag in it yesterday. But then I ended up staying up too late and got too tired to go out there last night. Now I have to go out there and take it down...before it rains or snows. lol

That sounds like a nice place to take a walk along the dam. Is your new adjustable rake still fun? I never heard of an adjustable one. Silly store guy. He's got quite a sense of humor-don't ya love that? Getting ready to plant flowers? Cool. You starting some indoors? I just used up my potting soil when someone gave me a little plant that needed to be repotted two weeks ago. I just don't have much room for indoor plants. I should move. ...Everything is always up in the air.

28 items - oh-no. lol
