New to the whole blogger world...

so bare with me! My sister keeps on pestering me to update my blog. Don't have much time. Can't sleep tonight, so decided to post. I have been stuck in Austin, TX for the past 3 days because of a big freeze. It actually snowed. Hung out with my friend Stacy for 3 days. We played scrabble, ate, drank, and repeat. That is pretty much all we did for 3 days. Oh, and we watched some movies and played frozen baseball (that is a story for another day). I went to the store and bought some groceries before the weather got too bad. They were out of eggs, had one gallon of milk left (organic milk for $5.99 a gallon), and only the sugar free, fat free, carb free, wheat/soy/organic bread (again, $5.99 a loaf). Who can afford to eat these things? I would love to be eating organic, free range stuff....but I can't affort it. Who can? I would hate to see the grocery bill like this for a family of 4. Probably more than my house payment. HEB (a local grocery store) sent out a message to the media...they were out of fire wood, cheap beer, and corn chips. That cracks me up...cheap beer and corn chips! Not to mention milk, eggs, bread...but I guess people really weren't looking for those things. Cheap beer and corn chips sounds like a college party. As for fire wood, you could just be like my friend Stacy's neighbor. They were slowly cutting down a tree in their backyard. That was also our entertainment...every time we heard the chainsaw we ran outside to see how much more of the tree they were cutting down. Guess they decided to save money on fire wood because they needed it to buy the more expensive organic, carb free beer at HEB.
