Today, Joe and I went to a grocery store called BB's. Its a dented canned store ran by some Amish people. (Joe was particularly amused when he saw a battery powered floor cleaner.) I've heard about this store though work and its variety of names-BB's, bent and dent, the Amish store. And being that I finally figured out the hours and where it was and was off today, Joe and I decided to go.
When we got there, we rapidly realized the mad house that was to ensue inside. The parking lot was super crowded! And there was a peacock standing in the enterance. Giant doesn't have that. So once inside it was again very clear that this was a happening spot for Cumberland County. (In the back of my head, I kept thinking that even though Joe and I were there for fun, that there were definantly some people that used this store as their only source of groceries. And that we should feel sorry for them.)
So we walked around pushing our cart and filling it with deals and expired items. Some highlights include a can of ackees (which is some Carribean fruit), a jar of Marmite (which is terrible) and drumroll...Hy-Vee egg noodles! Did I need egg noodles? (Did I need anything that we bought?) Not really, but finding something from the best grocery store ever really touched my heart. $40 later we had several bags worth of things we didn't need. Including some cereal which I'm thinking about snacking on right now.
So we got our first snow the other night-Thursday into Friday. Maybe three inches of very wet powdery snow. When I let Sadie out into it in the morning, she was like WTF? The other two dogs loved romping about it and Sadie rapidly figured out the fun as well. Friday into Saturday we got about another two inches as well. People in Pennsylvania are crazy about snow. The least little bit and they are out with their snow shovels in the driveway and sidewalks rapidly cleaning away the snow. Its crazy. The streets however, well you're on your own. I had large animal calls in the AM-initally just a goat health certificate then a DA to cut. (If I dream about veterinary medicine, I will have a DA to cut.) As I set out, I got lost-a common occurance and then rapidly realized that the vet truck doesn't handle well in the snow. Its very heavy in the back but because of the weight, when you apply the antilock brakes, it wants to skid with the weight pushing it. And then if you take a curve a little to fast, it fish tails but I lived.
So recently, I've noticed that my teeth really hurt but luckily, I've had a dentist appointment for about a month. So today, I noticed that I might have a giant cavity on one of my baby teeth. Sucks but explains why my teeth hurt so much. The other sucky part is because my teeth hurt so much I can't or don't want to chew on that side of my mouth but I'm missing a tooth on the other side so it really doesn't help either. My mouth sucks.
Slowly but surely, I'm working on getting old posts saved over to this blog from Xanga and MySpace. MySpace isn't helping and its a long copy and paste process.
