Grocery Day….What a Croc!

    I would like to thank all of you bloggers who have given me advice about my “mixed nuts” condition…I even had an email from Dan in Pennsylvania with some advice…Thanks Dan…

I have been researching this Plantars peanuts disease online…It seems that some experts feel the dreaded “white oars”, aka bunny ears, décor receptacles, or food scoops, may not be required.  Seems that if you just get some good Crocs RX AND some good walking shoes, like New Balance , (who have some special shoes JUST for this curse), things will eventually “heel “themselves…Also recommended are exercising your foot ( flexing, like you do biceps… Hey, did Arnold Schwarzenegger have to flex HIS foot?? Doubtful.. )

So….I am NOT going to slide my orthotics into anything except my bottom drawer, for now…An executive decision..Hey, I am an executive ….executive cook, dishwasher, housecleaner and blogger, right?? And as an executive chef, I needed to get some groceries yesterday….big whoop. (I doubt that Emeril has to get his own groceries!)

 

 

THIS MAN HASN’T SEE THE INSIDE OF A GROCERY STORE IN 25 YEARS…ESPECIALLY THE ONES I SHOP IN…DOLLAR GENERAL, ALDIS, WALLY WORLD….”EXCUSE ME, EMERIL, COULD YOU PLEASE JUST STEP ASIDE SO I CAN REACH MY BOX OF WINE AND THE CHEETOS?”

 

 

 

 

So come on, kids, lets climb into the back seat of the GMC, and do some serious combat grocery shopping…

 

…Please don’t crush the shopping bags in the back seat when you get in….and NO fighting over the windows…there’s two of them!!! Of course, my camera is coming with me again…I really need to wash off the truck windows ..It would certainly be safer when backing out of our LOOOOOOG drive .

 

What a lovely day, right?

 

We have to make a quick stop at Walgreens…I’m going to run in..you all stay in the truck..and no one touch the camera!!!!  Walgreens has their jar candles on sale, buy one get one free….and I LOVE a deal!!!….

Our local Walgreens is just across the street from the new Bull Moose Bar and Grille…which is STILL not open!!

 

 

  OK….WHO USED THE CAMERA TO TAKE THIS PHOTO WHILE I WAS IN WALGREENS???,   ANGELA!!!! YOU ARE LOOKING PRETTY GUILTY, YOU HAVE A TERRIBLE POKER FACE!!  AL, YOU AND JUDY CAN’T PASS A CAMERA WITHOUT TOUCHING IT!   I SEE KNOW ONE’S TALKING….A CONSPIRACY…..

As you may have noticed, it was another award winning weather day ….snow, slush and ice …It started snowing when I went into Aldis and continued doing so throughout my hiatus into Wally World…It was still snowing when I exited the parking lot in 4 wheel drive….Have I mentioned that I neglected to take a scraper/snow brush with me in the truck??…This was not wise..Our GMC has what they call “suicide doors”..You have to open the front door to be able to open the back door…It’s especially fun when it is snowing or raining , because as you are hurriedly  loading groceries into your back seat, the front driver’s seat is becoming one huge snow drift.  This would explain why I look like an incontinent escapee from “the home” when I arrive at my next stop…”No, really, I didn’t wet myself, I swear!  I just sat on a snow drift… in my truck”…REALLY!…whatever….

 

 

 

OH YES, YET ANOTHER SCURGE  OF OUR GMC…WHEN YOU ROLL DOWN YOUR SIDE WINDOW (SO YOU CAN SEE OUT), YOU GET A SECOND SURPRISE IN YOUR LAP!!.. AVALANCHE!!!!!!    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

 

 

As I ‘ve said MANY times before…This is not exactly where I thought we would be Jan. 27th this winter…and my windshield washer fluid is frozen up!!!

I have to say that all you kids were pretty good today, considering how many stops we made to save a buck…I did notice  how you all magically “disappeared” when it was time to carry the  trillion bags up the steps and into the house….It’s a good thing McGuyver was there to assist me!

NOTICE HOW BOTH DOORS ON THE TRUCK ARE SWUNG WIDE OPEN!!! OBVIOUSLY A WOMAN WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE DESIGN OF THIS TRUCK…AND WOULD YA LOOK AT THE BOOTY WE GOT TODAY!! WE ARE STOCKED UP AND READY FOR A BLIZZARD!! BRING IT ON!!

I have been wining (of course I have)..complaining…about needing a suet feeder put up so I can attract some Woodpeckers (Lord knows I can’t attract anything else..could be my outfits?).….We usually have some cute little Downy Woodpeckers hanging around, but we haven’t seen any this year…I think it’s probably because we don’t have their “specialty” on our menu DUH!…McGuyver finally dug out the suet feeder and hung it outside for me…So now, I will be hanging out around the suet window, my nose up against the glass…( there’s a sure way to scare them off!)

 

DARE I SAY THAT THIS WOULDN’T LAST 5 SECONDS AT THE MID LIFE CRUISERS ..NELLIE WOULD SAUTE THIS UP WITH SOME HUMUS, ADD A FEW PINE CONES , …AND MAKE A SIDE DISH OUT OF IT!!

 

 

 

 

 

SO TODAY, I GOT ONLINE AND ORDERED ME UP SOME NEW CROCKS….I CONVINCED MCGUYVER IT’S FOR MY “CONDITION”.  I ACTUALLY OWN 3 PAIR ALREADY…2 CLOGS AND A PAIR OF SANDALS…THE PARTICULAR ONES I  ORDERED ARE CALLED “CROCS RX RELIEF”..AND…ACCORDING TO “THOSE IN THE KNOW”, THESE “CROCS RX RELIEF” ARE GREAT SHOES FOR” PLANTAR’S  PEANUTS” CONDITION…. 

The faded orange Crocs, on the left,  are 3 years old…I have worn the soles clean off! I wear those suckers everywhere…Dennis walks WAAAAAAY behind me when I wear them out to the store ….I really don’t understand why. (You may have seen me sporting these lovely orange Crocs with my stylish “ensembles”)…On the right are my newer  Khaki pair  that I have taken to wearing this winter.. (yes, I also sport these out and to the store)…The khaki ones also have this warm fuzzy lining in them…Notice the soles are in much better shape…

So now, I have orthopedic Crocs coming….I am hoping that these Crocs are not just a “Croc”!!!!

  AND SO….YET ANOTHER BLOG ABOUT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

THANKS FOR GETTING TO THE END…AND I PROMISE YOU..THIS IS THE END!!
