I’ve never really been one for keeping a shopping list. Although I have on occasion, purchased really cute shopping note pads with every intention of using them, I just never quite mastered that skill. My husband on the other hand, writes lists for everything. Things to do, things to buy, things to think about – you need a list? He’s your man.
All this is about to change. And I mean right now. Living in CA if I ran out of eggs, I could run to the grocery store, pick up eggs and be back home in 10-15 minutes. That convenience no longer exists for me. Now, if I run out of eggs I might be able to run in and grab eggs, but only after a 20 – 25 minute drive each direction. Now I must decide how much I really need those eggs. I’m not complaining, just comparing!
Enter, “The List”. The list is now a part of my daily routine. “The List” is becoming my best friend. Don’t have juice? Put it on the list. Need bread? Put it on the list. I haven’t quite determined how frequently “The List” will be addressed, Every other day? Probably not. Once a week? Probably not. Maybe somewhere in between.
I must find the nearest Costco – and soon!
Correction: I have been informed that in fact, we do have a recycle can. I’ve seen the trash can, and the yard waste can, but I’ve not been formally introduced to the recycle can yet. I still don’t understand why we have to pay extra for it!

Glad to hear they do have recycling; maybe there’s extra expense for them in regard to that… transporting, processing, etc. In regard to lists, funny that Mike and I are just the same… he’s the list maker, I’ve not been one to do that much… which is why I tend to forget something! Have to say it does sound nice that you are not real close to shopping; like the idea of being away from all that, where it’s nice and quiet!
