I am so excited about the prospect of going to the super market tonight!  WOOHOO!  I did some grocery shopping on Friday instead of my usual Saturday or Sunday so our cupboard is a littler barer than it usually is on a Monday.  So the plan is for me to go to Market Basket and get something for dinner for the next few days.

While that is exciting enough, low and behold we are about to get decked by a blizzard of historic proportions!  (according to the national weather service, of course)  That means I can expect a glorious evening of cramming my way through the overcrowded super market. dodging people buying mass quantities of break and milk while I try and get some supper for the wife and kids.  It will be like an olympic level obstacle course.  I can’t wait!

I plan on ducking my head down and just plowing my cart through the panicking throngs.  I don’t need to buy four gallons of milk or seven loaves of bread*.  I just need some chicken and maybe a jar of peanuts.  We already have plenty of quinoa.

Happy Blizzard Eve!

*The four gallons of milk and seven loaves of bread were not chosen randomly.  I have seen reports on Facebook today of people seeing other shoppers stock up on exactly those quantities of those items.
