Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Yeah, I fear I'm a terribly accustomed consumer, and having a biiiiiig bottle of something means that by the time i get halfway through, I feel like it's old or not exciting or stale or something.
I'm so damn American.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've actually been noticing how long it takes me to use shampoo and conditioner, because I'm only washing 3-4 times a week, and I'm alternating two kinds. I'm like an inch down in one of the bottles, and I've had it two months!

I'm so glad that our pleiades is taking care of our meara.
I am the sort of person that can use a CostCo type store effectively. I have (or had, and will have again shortly) a big freezer and a lot of pantry space and a willingness to buy products in bulk, remember where I put them when the first batch runs out, and use it all.
But then I am the sort of person who buys meat in bulk at the supermarket and comes home and rebags it in serving sizes before freezing it. And marks it, and builds a menu plan around the frozen protein I know I already have. If you are not this person, don't buy in bulk.

Oh, and I vote for orange for the walls. We might end up with red sofas, but if we do, it'll go with our black and white walls.

Costco is not only about bulk - good prices on DVD sets, housewares, books, electronics. And car tires and contact lenses.

I envy this. I wish I were this person. I use Costco primarily for toilet paper, paper towels, dish and laundry detergent, random gifty things, and party-type food. Well, and all the stuff I pick up along the way.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

And prescriptions too.

It's an acquired skill.
But seriously, man, there's nothing better than blearily tumbling to the freezer, shaking out a pre-measured bag of ground beef, and firing up a super quick home cooked meal because you've got the stuff all lined up and don't really have to think about it. But still, home cooked!

Exactly! This is why I want to be that person! It's the actual acquiring of the skill that I have trouble with. Planning ahead with food has just never been a strength of mine. Or, OK, I haven't ever stuck to it enough to get very good at it.
