Cult of Costco

We had no coffee this morning. That's a prerequisite for Mary to be really awake. We decided to go out for breakfast. I thought maybe we could just go to Costco and eat the free samples for breakfast. Mary convinced me to go to Sundance instead.

We went to Costco AFTER breakfast because we are planning food for Saturday's party and we wanted to scope out the bulk food options before meeting with Betsy and Ginny who are handling food for the party. We picked up a few groceries and also a list of possible party foods. We now have a menu and some designated grillers.

Mary's working on her super-secret party favors. Those who can't attend will receive them via email after the party.

Our lovely neighborhood had some more action this evening. A pickup truck slipped out of gear and coasted across the street into the side of another car. It was an opportunity for Jim Scott to remind me which neighbors were selling drugs and which no-good kids were currently oppressing the finish on his vehicle with every manner of projectile.

Sweet corn and burgers on the grill tonight. It was the first sweet corn of the year and it was actually pretty good.

I'm jealous of your sweet corn and I really wish I could come to the party...although I do hope you realize that no one's going to show up because everyone is going to be at home reading harry potter. :)

Oh, and because of your lovely blog name I wanted to tell you about the crows here. They're enormous and they make sounds exactly like the aliens from mars attacks. No lie.
