The best eight bucks I've ever spent

savvyliterateHehehehe....I just got back from Kroger's armed with a new cat toy. It cost $8, but it's well worth it. It's a mouse that activates by touch. You tap any part of it and it springs to life, blinks the big green eyes and goes in an insane voice, "Uh oh, hyahnhyanhyanyhyan." several times before ending with an equally insane giggle and stops. Then, it lies dormant until it's touched again.
My payback came when Peekaboo crept over and bit the mouse's tail, then jumped into the air. I laughed until tears rolled down my cheeks. Lil'Bit refuses to go near the thing. I love it!
I can't wait until Super Wal-Mart opens over here on Volunteer Parkway. Then it'll just be a mile from my house instead of 10 miles to get to exit 7. The exit 7 Wal-Mart is always overcrowded and I hate it. Hence, why I shop at Kroger's or Food City for now. My bill for groceries was $61 - and they forgot to double my coupons! So, I got some cash back, got home, then discovered they forgot to credit a store coupon altogether. Mou... The sad difference is that sales tax is 9 percent in Tennessee vs. 5.5 percent in Virginia. But, I'll have Wal-Mart a mile from my house, so everything equals out in the end. I hope.
I spent a good half hour or so talking to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
derichi and Celeste last night. Mack, it's so good to hear from you! You made Celeste sound so much more upbeat than when I talked to her earlier in the day. I do worry about her a lot.
Something strange happened to me in Johnson City last night. I stopped by the Super Walmart there to look at something and as I pulled my car into the pedestrian crossway, this guy comes up to my driver's side window and bangs on the window. I screamed and cried out, "What the F***?" involuntarily.
Here's the bad part...I was on my cell phone...with my dad.
I was more worried about the fact that I accidentally cussed with my dad on the phone than I was about the strange guy lurking outside my car door! I could hear my stepmother worrying on the other end of the line and Daddy's also telling me what to do and how to avoid said freak and I was nearly in tears because not only did I say the F-word, I said it and my dad heard! I wanted to crawl in a hole and die. Oh well. Live and learn I suppose. I didn't see the freak again.
