39° that feels like 39° at 7:33 AM partly cloudy Hi 65° | Lo 39°
Wow! The Weatherbug folks hit the nail square on the head this time. They predicted a high of 65° and the actual high was … wait for it … 65°! Ta da!
This morning there were only 2 eggs left in the carton. There were several items on the shopping list that we were out of. So I opened the Wal-Mart grocery app and ordered everything from the list. I set it to be picked up after I was off work.
And then I told Ella to just stay in bed where it was warm. And she could fix the the last two eggs for her breakfast this morning. I drove through Sonic on my way to work. Oh, I should mention I was dressed in my complete Santa outfit. When I pulled up to the window I expected to be greeted as Santa. And I was. What I didn’t expect was that the woman in the car in front of me had paid for my breakfast. That was extra nice.
Every weekend there is a farmers market / craft fair in the mall parking lot where I park. That isn’t usually a problem for me because I have a handicap tag, however today there was a truck and trailer parked sideways and taking up all of the handicap spaces. He had no tag. My more vindictive side thinks, “I hope he gets a ticket for every space he occupies.” But my better side just prays that he moves before someone comes who really needs it.
On the way home, I let Wal-Mart know that I was on the way. The app then tracked me as I was getting closer to the store. When I parked the app asked which spot I was in and the color our vehicle. However, the color was already filled in because it remembered from the last time I used the app. I find this way of shopping time saving and cost saving also. It saves money because I only purchase the items on the list and don’t make those impulse buys.
And, no I didn’t get paid for that endorsement. Other stores and businesses are also beginning to adopt similar order-ahead pick-up-later shopping plans.
God bless and g’nite.
