hello everybody here at Mylot. yesterday i think that it rained almost all day long here. at times, it poured down. i needed to go to the grocery store to stock back up. well i kept waiting and waiting, the rain never stopped. so last night late, i ran up to Food Lion to pick up just a few things to get me by last night. so now this morning, i am off to the grocery store. so tell me, have you ever put off going to the grocery store like i did last night? thanks for sharing and have a beautiful day today!

Hi RL, How u doing? Such a long time... Happy new year and hope u r having a wonderful time. We all miss u so much here. Well regarding your discussion i have just started to bring grocery for my family , say from last 3-4 months. Earliar it wasnt one of my responsibility so i wasnt knowing how tough it is really to remember all the things. Secondly we have a perfect balanced seasons here. It doesnt rain in any time like many other places in the world. We have March-May as summers, June- September as rainy season and October to Feb as winters. So Yes never had to wait beocz of rain or cliamte conditons. But yea if iam feeling lazy i delay it a lot of times . Cheers, Tutul

hello tutul Happy New Year to you also! and you are lucky that the weather where that you live doesn't keep you from getting out on some days. i just didn't feel like going to the grocery store yesterday, it rained here all day long. i did run out last night to the grocery store upon the hill from me, to purchase a few things, like a loaf of bread, milk stuff like that. then i went today and stocked back up again. and yes, if i do not write a grocery list and take it with me in the store, then i will walk right by something that i needed. never fails. lol take care and have a beautiful afternoon. thanks so much for responding.

Sometimes I put off going to the grocery store - I find very creative meals. Yesterday, despite the snow, I made myself go because it was extra discount day at our grocery store.

I rarely shop anymore. My husband likes to do it so I certainly won't argue that one. He goes either Saturday or Sunday morning very early. He can get it done much faster when nobody is there to get in his way. He worked as a grocery store checker and bagger when he was in college. He has an emotional attachment to grocery shopping..lol Many years ago I did go out in the rain when the kids were small if we needed something. Came home looking like a wet rat!

hello carolbee lol well your the second lucky one around here at Mylot who's hubby does the grocery shopping. lol scroll up one to see the previous response. i do not mind going to the grocery store, it is the fact of what the weather is like outside in doing so. you know? and i hear ya about looking like a drownded rat, i would have had that look going on yesterday. but today they say it is currently forty-five degrees outside and that could sure fool me, it is windy and feels twenty degrees not forty! take care and have a beautiful afternoon. thanks for responding.

Hi there Rhonda, glad to see you around, cos I hardly see you online here these days. How are you doing? Are you still actively pursuing your cake business? The rain must be interrupting your cooking plans by keeping you out of the grocery store when you needed to make a trip there. For me, I usually buy all my weekly groceries during the weekends. There are many supermarkets within a 3Km radius from where I live. If I have to get anything, whether rain or shine, I can still get there quite easily, because my car is in the basement carpark and I can get to a supermarket without getting wet. There's lots of convenience here, so I won't have to encounter the situation you did yesterday and postponing a trip.

hey lexus i am still here! i am doing fine, i have been working a part time job for my brother-in-law that owns his own plumbing business, but the business is really slow right now so i am not working this week. so, i do not know if i have work again for next week yet or not. so here i am back at Mylot. how have you been doing? (hugs) and yes, i am still in the cake business. i stayed busy with it from right before Thanksgiving on through the Christmas holidays, now i have three orders so far for the month of January and some lady wants me to make her some of my homemade bbq ribs. and that is nice that your car is inside and when you want to go outside that you do not have to get wet. wish that was the case for me. lol i just didn't feel like getting soaked yesterday in just having to go out to the grocery store. so i went this morning in the cold and i already have everything put up as well. whoo hoo! take care and have a beautiful day today! thanks so much for responding.

I hate to have to go grocery shopping and yes, it rained in Knoxville yesterday, quite a bit.. We were cooped up in the house for so long yesterday, with the rain, that we finally got out about 7:00 last night and went to this little corner store that we hang out at, just to get out for awhile.. I have went to the grocery store late at night when I thought it would be a bit easier to shop, but was fooled bacause there were a million others who had the same idea.. Now I just shop when I need to without worrying if the store is going to be to full or not.. I do put off things way to much but as we are getting older, we do things in our own time and don't worry about it.. Have a great day..

Yes many times, too many to count. That is when I could get by without having to go right away. If we needed things real bad then I figured while I was out picking up a few things I might as well get it all and get it over with.

Yes, I do that sometimes. If it is raining or just too darn cold sometimes. I should have gone shopping yesterday, but I just did not feel like it. I ended up having to go to the post office(I had to do that) and stopped at the gas station and got a pound of deli ham, a half gallon of milk, and a loaf of bread for dinner. Real shopping might happen today if it warms up any.

I put off exercising yesterday! -- And my friends from work and I (5 people total) are in a contest: Whomever loses 10 pounds first will win. All the others who didn't win each pay $5 to the winner. I know it isn't much money, but we're doing it almost solely for motivational purposes.

hello bethany oh no! well i wish you luck in loosing the ten pounds first. walk, walk, walk is the best way to drop the pounds. when the weather is nice i go to the local high school track and i walk. and i hear ya about the five bucks, everybody could use some extra money. let us all know around here at Mylot if you won! take care and have a beautiful day today! thanks for responding!

Ha Ha , you just experienced a equation of life which goes something like this: " play now PAY later, pay now PLAY later". Sure, i have experienced similar situations many times, because we all procastinate,some less some more. If anyone claims that they don't procastinate i am sure they atleast procastinate sleeping. My job is such that no one can fill in for me, every time i feel a bit lazy and take it easy, i end up doing double work the next day.

I hope you got to the grocery store today. My daughter just left while ago to go to the store for me also. We are down to about nothing to cook here. I put it off too because I do not want to go or spend the money for the food.

I have done that. I hate to go to the store when it is raining or snowing for that matter. It is just so messy. And there is always enough food in the house that if I put it off for one day it is not a big deal.

I do not normally go to grocery shops because my father in law does the whole shopping for grocery and other items like fruits & vegetables.If we buy something he never likes it because it is his passion to shop.We generally go on weekends for shopping for our clothes and items of our kid because we do not have time otherwise on week days.
