When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping.
Fri Oct 18 2002

I needed shirts. Quite badly. I spent about 5 hours today going from sale to sale looking for the best deals. I came home with 5 shirts and a sweater.

I don't think I have spent that much time looking for clothes for myself since I was in high school. Typically I run in somewhere, look to see if any sale items are my size, grab them, pay for them and run out of the store. Today I actually took the time to try things on and look less passively. I even actually enjoyed it somewhat. The only thing that could've made it better would have been the company of a good friend, thus giving me the excuse to stop somewhere for lunch & ice cream!

Hunkka-hunkka Hubby is off at a friends tonight building a computer out of various spare parts from both households. He is a bit irritated though that he can't remember where he put the DVD drive, and won't be able to put it into this new system. I suspect he will be there for several hours geeking.

    Heyyyy!!!
    I like shopping too, and I haven't really been around and spent time doing so. Probably it's because I have no money. Oh well!
    And too bad you couldn't get the ice cream! Good yummy stuff there!

    Take it easy,

    I wonder why the squirrels haven't found my feeders? I have had it for years, and I have seen squirrels. Must be enough grub out there elsewhere that they aren't interested in my measley feeder.

    OK---here is the scoop. The tribe with the cave shelter (and Jan) loses the boat that they use for fishing and getting water. This time they win immunity challenge. For the other challenge they gave each tribe $1000 to bid on food items which ranged from grubs to ice cream sundaes. At the beginning of the bidding each person was given a chance to switch tribes, which none did. The other tribe (with the young set) voted out Step as she had been kinda aloof from the rest of them. The guy with the pierced chin got stung or bit by something, with no complications. If you are desperate to see it, let me know and I will mail you the tape. There wasn't any real drama that I can remember.
