I've been stocking up on food lately.  With the economy the way it is, I figured it wouldn't hurt to be prepared a bit.  Besides, living on an island, we're entirely at the mercy of shipping.  If, for some reason, shipping was disrupted for a week, the island would run out of everything.  With that in mind, I decided today to stock up on non-food items I wouldn't want to live without.  One of those things was toilet paper.  You've all run out of TP at one time or another.  Not a pleasant feeling is it?  Now imagine being out for a week, or a month.  Well, I did some imagining and realized it wouldn't hurt to have plenty of toilet paper, you're always going to need it and it doesn't spoil, so, why not?  I'll tell you why not.  When you buy 4 12-packs of Scotts in one trip, you attract attention.  I looked like I was trying to get through some kind of diarrhetic nightmare or something.  I got in a discussion with the woman behind me in the checkout line about the best toilet paper and we both agreed on Scotts.  The little old lady who guards the scanner thing they have at the exit took one look at my cart and asked if toilet paper was on sale.  Thankfully, she didn't see the 10 cans of shaving cream and 15 tubes of tooth paste, or she really would be looking at me strange.

From there, I went to Macy's.  I don't like to shop for clothes and pretty much stick to tee shirts all the time, but wanted something nice to wear when we go to Oahu next month.  Well, I enjoyed shopping for toilet paper more.  I can't understand the styles these days    *shakes cane at check out girl*  Why would someone want to wear something that looks like a maternity top when they're not even pregnant?  I've been there, done that and bought the (maternity-sized) tee-shirt and don't plan on walking down that road ever again.  Know what I mean?  Finally I gave up and went home.  We're going to the big mall in Honolulu during our Oahu trip, maybe I'll find something there.  Or maybe I"ll just more racks of maternity tops made for 90 pound teen agers.
