Shopping frenzy

We went shopping today. We bought some floral Simple Green, a furry leopard printed trash bag for my car, a new mouse for K, and a curtain rod. I fulfilled my shopping needs. How pathetic.

I used to be a marathon shopper. I used to stop almost every day at one store or another, expecially if I was waiting for something I wanted to come down in price. I dressed pretty well in hand-me-downs and bargain, bargain basements (that's when the prices are marked lower than bargain basement.) It fufilled a primative need, like hunting does for men. Must be my female urge to gather fruit and berries. Now I rarely go out, I get so tired when I do I can't be out for long. Takes the fun out of it. Being broke doesn't help either because I don't get to shop for fun things. My big whoop nowadays is going to the dollar store and buying $2 of something.

I think our cricket colony may be getting out of hand. There is a cricket crawling on top of the cage that is as big as the gecko. I guess he is the "all you can eat" meal. Wish I knew where Sparky went to, he's our golden gecko. Once in a while he shows up, but is too fast for us to catch. That's OK in the summer, but winters we would feel better if he would rest nicely in a nice warm cage, crickets supplied. Hope he's still alive and kicking, he weathered through last winter when we thought he was long gone.

I spend most of my time updating my other blog. That's because it has tons of pictures I have to redo before I can post them. Also because I have a very dull life to write about, except for the animals. In fact, it's so dull I think I'll go take a nap until dinner's ready. Bleah
