Saturday

I have been having trouble thinking of things to blog about lately. I guess I have bloggers block. So I took my camera with me today and decided that I would blog everything I did. This is going to be pretty exciting, you should probably sit down while reading this post.
I got out of bed at 11:00AM. I do like to sleep in, but this is pretty late for me. I was out playing Texas Hold’em the night before (came in third!), so I have an excuse. I had a lot of things to buy today. Here is the list:
- Razor Cleaning Fluid Cartridges
- Toothbrushes
- Rubbing Alcohol
- Tea
- Bread
- Cheese
- Pop (Yeah that’s right, “pop”, don’t even get me started on the whole “pop” versus “soda” thing)
- Soymilk
- Pomegranate Juice
- Berries
- Banana Peppers
- Pickles
- Granola Bars
- Nuts
- Yogurt
- Tabasco Sauce
- Lean Cuisine Dinners
- Fruit
- Vegetables
- Corkscrew Like Device
- Stain Removal Pen
I showered, got dressed, and headed out for lunch at about 12:45. Here is a picture of me leaving my neighborhood in Brentwood.

The neighborhood looks better in the summer when there are leaves on the trees. Anyways, I made a short trip to one of my most common lunch spots, San Sai.

I had the salmon bowl with brown rice and the oriental salad. I always think it should be called the asian salad. Isn’t “oriental” politically incorrect? Then again, who cares? It was tasty and then I moved on to Target.

Now you might be wondering why I didn’t go to the Target that is two minutes from condo in Brentwood. Two reasons. One, I wanted to go for a little drive and go somewhere different. Two, this is the coolest Target ever. I call it metro Target because it is close to downtown St. Louis and feels so urban. There is always a good mix of people inside, and they have an escalator for shopping carts. Did you hear me? I said, “an escalator for shopping carts”. I had no idea such technology existed. I am amazed. After Target, I went to the grocery store.

Nothing too exciting here. This is the Dierbergs near my condo. I do about half of my shopping here and half at Whole Foods. I would do all of my grocery shopping at Whole Foods, but there are some things you can only get at the normal grocery store. I was able to find everything on my list except bread and fruit. Well, okay I could have found fruit, but the bread I wanted wasn’t there, so I’ll have to go to Whole Foods tomorrow. Since I’m going to Whole Foods, I’ll get my fruit there. Below is a picture of everything I purchased at Target and Dierbergs. For the record, I don’t put the cat in the pictures, he just likes to be where the action is.

Amazingly, this is almost $200 worth of stuff. How did life get so expensive? I blame gay illegal aliens who are hell bent on destroying marriage and instituting a socialized health care system. Kidding… Kidding… Please don’t throw things. Here is a picture of the cat doing what he does best.

After I got everything put away, I went to dinner with a friend at Rearn Thai in Clayton. Does anybody out there know what “Rearn” means? I’ve always wanted to know. I had the red curry, here is a picture of it.

Rearn Thai makes their curries mild, medium, hot, Thai hot, or extra Thai hot. I chose hot. I don’t know who the people are that choose Thai hot or extra Thai hot, but we must find them, capture them, and study them. They obviously have superhuman abilities. After dinner I came home, made iced tea, and started to write this post. After this, I’ll probably watch TV or a movie and go to bed. Thanks for joining me on my day. I hope you had as much fun as I did.

Believe it or not, your day was much more entertaining than mine…. Can you imagine “A Day in the Life of an Accountant During Tax Season?” That would put just about everyone to sleep.
Earl has a lot of personality, I can tell. Critter is the same way, always has to be where the action is…. and licking the plastic bags, which absolutely drives me nuts.
Well, time to find a movie or something to do since I decided to stay in for the night… sometimes you just need a quiet evening to reset yourself. I guess this is mine. Have a great evening.

Freaky! We basically live the same life - I shop at the same stores and eat at San Sai at least 4 times a week. I guess that’s what happens when you live in the Brentwood/Richmond Heights area.

Brentwood Target is a zoo on Saturdays! That Hampton one is actually closer to my house in the city but I don’t enjoy it at all.. I go to the South County one. The parking garage/escalator lost the novelty for me.
