Enough Deals....All I want is some shopping peace!

Where Angie has been on a roll, getting the deals on food and other supplies, I have been striking out and getting ticked while doing it.

It all started last night at wal-mart. I hadn't grocery shopped in like 3 1/2 weeks and I had a lot to get. I shopped for an hour working my way from the back of the store to the front. Near the end I looked in my cart and felt really good about my decisions finding both healthy (relatively) and affordable food. HOWEVER, when I got to the front and saw that every line had 15 people in it with their carts overflowing (some with two or three) my excitement quickly faded. I waited for 10 minutes and calculated that I would be waiting for another hour to hour and a half (honestly...why can't friggen wal-mart open one more of the other ten checkouts that were not being used!!)

Soo...I did what anyone with out patience would do. I walked my cart to the back of the store, called a friend, and walked out to my car and went to King Soopers (a colorado grocery story) and shopped for all my groceries again.

If that wasn't enough to tick a guy off, I went to goodwill today and as I watch 5 people attack (literally attack!) the cart of new books to be put on the shelf. They all had their own carts and grabbed as many books as they could as fast as they could. As I stood their watching in awe I could not help but feel like I was in a very primal place. I also felt a little sick. As I walked back to the shelves of books I saw a cart full of books full to the brim...not thinking about what just happen, I started to look at the books (nothing good in it) when I lady came up and said "THOSE ARE MY BOOKS!". I was like "ohh...sorry...I didn't know." (half thinking ..who friggen reads that much!).

That is when I decided that I needed to leave before I caught that sickness and started hoarding books for myself.

On the drive home I also decided that it is worth it to pay a bit more for stuff if you don't have wait for hours or act like a child hoarding all the toys for yourself.

First Fly Fishing Experience

Last Wednesday Jason (my boss) took me up to Rocky Mountain National Park and taught me how to fly fish. We started at Wild Basin trail head and hiked about 4 miles up to Ouzel Creek. One of the reasons we had to go up so far is that the water was running like crazy until we got up there.
I didn't catch anything and Jason only caught one, but the trip was a very good time and a learning experience (lets just say I lost a lot of flies to trees and logs). Here are some pics of the trip.
