I've Been Productive, I Really Have; Plus It's Thrifty Thursday

Since I don't want to be the slacker that I have been the last few days, I'm trying to post early. While I haven't been as crafty as in previous weeks, I have been productive this week. (Hoping to get my craft on this evening) Not only did I get the house cleaned, but I've done the grocery shopping (for more than one meal - egad!) I usually run to the store on a fairly daily basis to get the supplies for whatever meal. I have been known to go to the store at least three times in one day. Fortunately, we do have an array of grocery stores fairly close to my house. So, I try to mix it up and shop at a different one each time, before the cashiers start to recognize me.
This week, LOML* and I also got to check out the new Bass Pro Shop in our area. It's HUUUUUGE!! They have so many taxidermied animals I started to cry at one point. I don't handle dead animals staring at me too well. We found our favorite sections of the store though. First, on the second floor there's the camping, canoing, kyacking, and bar-b-quing sections all grouped together. Secondly, they have a restaurant in there. LOML* didn't think he would be interested in the restaurant, but I wanted to at least look. It was the last thing we did. As soon as we saw the 1,300 gallon saltwater tank of tropical fish behind the bar and a Sweetwater beer tap, we were drawn inside for about an hour. The whole time, we mumbled to each other, "I can't believe we're in a Bass Pro Shop." It was a nice evening. I even bought a new water bottle.

The water bottle wasn't the cheapest one I've ever purchased, but is perfect for me. That's why I feel like a bit of a hypocrite posting this on "Thifty Thursday." I hope the thrifting gods forgive me.Oh, I NEED to share this - The writing of The Hobbit movie has begun!!

Take my poll!! You can add your own suggestions too!
