I usually don’t shop.
I don’t like to shop.
I don’t enjoy the shopping experience.
I have been to Costco 3 times this week.
I can’t quite recall what was so important that I had to go the first time.
Oh yeah – Toilet Paper.
And while I was there – Kleenex (yes the brand – I think), ground turkey, and some other assorted items.
And I looked at a suitcase, and being an over-analyzing green – did not buy it.
So – trip number 2 because $40 is really cheap for a suitcase and maybe it will hold up for a few years, and Ashlan really wants one with wheels.
And – Ashlan really likes it and doesn’t want to have to share it with me.
And – the bungee cord things on the outside really don’t look correct.
So – trip number 3 to get a few assorted items and suitcase #2, check out the display bungees to see whether suitcase #1 is a dud, (and it is). So after purchase of suitcase #2, deposit new purchases in the car, grab suitcase #1 from said car, take it to returns, get cash, stuff cash in right pocket, back into store for suitcase #3 (#1b?), purchase with said cash from the right pocket, and back out to the car.
Not too bad, and both suitcase #2 and #3(1b) appear to have good bungees.
I think I will have Ashlan test the zippers when she gets home from work.

Rooting for you, Jay! I’ve been getting in five miles a day (or so), but that’s nothing compared to your achievements! (BTW, I’ve gotten some new shoes that are a dream to walk in—better than any I’ve had in years….)
