Trivia: WHY DO SUPERMARKETS STOCK SOME GOODS AT THE CHECKOUT COUNTER?
Despite the fact that 77 percent of Americans go to the grocery store with a list, it's estimated that half of everything bought there is bought on impulse. Supermarkets report very strong sales of almost anything they stock at the checkout line.
Cool word: coalesce (ko-uh-LESS), verb - To unite or grow into a single whole. To put aside differences or separate goals to present a unified front.
Mini progress
Well I made some progress today, the place doesn’t look quite so much like a dump. I haven’t totally gotten rid of everything that’s on my list of things to do, but I made a dent. I think if I hadn’t had to go out I would have gotten even farther, but once I go out all momentum is lost.
I might manage to get more done tomorrow, although I have an idea in my head that I really need to go to my stamp store for a "fix". I’ll have to see how I’m feeling in the morning. I dreamt about the stamp store last night, so I think that, along with getting one of my stamping magazines today has made me feel the need to go and check it out.
I’m also feeling much better about my red Sox who clobbered the damn Yankees today. I’m especially pleased that they got rid of that whiny, nasty Clemens before the third inning was over. I believe I expressed my opinion of that man in an early entry, so I won’t bother to repeat myself here. Suffice it to say that 13-1 makes me happy.
It’s really crazy around here as far as the series and "The Curse of the Bambino" are concerned. They even brought in Babe Ruth’s granddaughter to cheer for the Sox. One of the local stations called his daughter in Arizona, so she could state for the record that her father never would have put a curse on the Sox.
Not too fanatical or superstitious around here, are we?
Two more home games, I hope they can pull it off.
I’m also happy that the Mets just won in rather dramatic fashion. They are one of the few National League teams that I like.
That’s who Michael is cheering for, he doesn’t like the Yankees either. He lived in Boston for a while when he was going to Harvard, so he is actually a Red Sox fan to a minor extent.
A minor amount is better than none at all.
The script writing session tonight was useless. I was totally uninspired and had no idea what to write. I think I’m tapped out as far as this show is concerned.
I got a couple of e-mails last night detailing some of the expenses that the management team has decided to allow, and I wanted to weep. They have no clue and are spending all our profits. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
I do want to make the show not seem to amateur, but this is beyond the norm and not at all necessary.
Too many chiefs and not enough Indians, and they don’t have any idea of how to put a show on stage.
Good news.
I needed to buy a new pair of jeans tonight, as the ones I’d been wearing kept falling down. One size smaller!! Hooray!
After the week of junk food I had, I’m shocked. I ate everything in sight. Back on the wagon this week.
Bad news.
I bought the jeans at Wal-Mart. I never just buy one thing at Wal-Mart. I buy tons of stuff. I bought more underwear, a denim blouse that has a fall scene embroidered on it, and a sweatshirt with a Halloween scene and black cat on the front.
The only thing I really needed was the jeans.
I also got a new camera that’s been causing a buzz on the art journal lists. It’s a Polaroid that takes mini pictures. It’s called an I-Zone. It’s is very cool. You can even get film that has the pictures come out as stickers. It is going to be a lot of fun to play with and to use in my journal.
I wanted to get it to take to New York City with me, I thought it would be a fun way to take city pictures of crazy things and would make them easy to put in my journal.
Maybe I’ll even get a picture of Michael if he agrees to meet me.
Not holding my breath there.
