costco...

hello again little blog of mine... it's me, garry.
well, happy mlkjr day to all! just thought i would throw that little bit of holiday cheer to all that are celebrating this day...
not too much going on here my way, but i did get a chance to experience the joys of something so great and grand this weekend that i just had to share with those that care to read...
as i was finishing up with work on sunday [and after hitting the gym for a bit] i found myself pondering what i should do about my weekly grocery shopping. in that i wondered where i should go this time... what place of culinary grocer delight should i indulge the commerce of my bank account... it is a question that i ask myself every saturday or sunday; my typical shopping days [for groceries], however this sunday i delved into the question a little deeper... a little harder than usual. i say that because typically i will succumb to the likes of a typical target [i love that store] or the sunfresh market most of the time with the occasional outlying place. well, with inspiration and desire to see what else this city host that i have not tapped, i found myself driving towards a location that i had only been but once before. it is a grand place full of mass quantities of staple foods and items brought to me... the consumer... and a markedly reduced price! can you believe that? well, swayed by the corporate advertising world and by the constant dedication to that place by a close friend... i figured that i would step into the giant that is costco.
after obtaining my membership at this mega store of stores, i quickly found my cart full of a multitude of items at obvious prices that i couldn't refuse. i took a trek... yes, definitely a trek of treks around all that is costco. there were no aisles left out of the territory of my shopping cart... no aisle was safe from my roaming cart with 3 functioning wheels. as i laid the land with my cart, my eyes were opened to all that costco is and can be. it was truly glorious! upon checkout after filling my cart with more that i probably needed [which seems like costco by definition] i was pleased with this new membership and recently obtained card with a ridiculous picture of me. i realized that small black and white pictures placed onto a plastic card with highly minimized pixelation is not the picture to show teeth on when you smile. i guess that would just be something that you would have to see... as least as far as it goes for me, no one else ever will!
i would just leave this story right here, but this is not where it ends. i drove away from costco to seek out a couple other places where i needed to make some purchases. upon arriving at other such places, i found that i was without that which keeps my hands warm... yep, my gloves. i quickly realize that costco had taken them from me... had kept them as ransom to get me to go back for more.
being week in the mind and heart, i was bent back costco's way... to costco i was drawn yet again. as i entered i heard the call of the aisles calling me to peruse them yet again... as if they needed my presence and being to relieve them of the items they contained. well, i held strong to these swaying temptations and found the place where i left my gloves, grabbed them tight and fled the building... only to one day return i am sure. perhaps a week or two, when i shall again come face to face with all that is costco... and satisfied i am for the time being... satisfied i am.
well, anywho, off to try to hit some books harder than they have been hitting me lately!
i love you all,
