Are you prepared?
My sister saw a man buying up many cans of tomatoes, in many different varieties today.
We just bought our normal groceries and some faucet covers.
Are you ready if we have a winter storm?

Re: Are you prepared?
I made the mistake of going to pick up a few random things today, that were totally unrelated to the storm thats a'coming. It was a massive madhouse.
I guess I just never understood the mass chaos and panic that happens before a winter storm rolls in. It's ice/snow. We get it just about every year.
Not overly concerned about it. Might go to Lowe's or something to grab a bag of salt, but beyond that I think we'll be fine.

DH just went to the grocery store on a regular shopping trip since we were just about out of some basics, not to stock up for the storm. Crest is usually busy weekend afternoons, but he said today was on the order of Walmart crazy. I knew there was a reason I had him go instead of me, other than not wanting to change out of my pajama pants.
We figured out how to use our fireplace last weekend, so if our power goes out we'll still have heat. We only have enough wood for a day, but we have plenty of blankets to cuddle under. I do need to bring wood in tonight, so I don't have to go out when it's wet and frigid.
I'm hoping for no work Tuesday and possible Wednesday! I do need to get to the library tomorrow to stock up on reading material just in case.

Yeah, I'm one of the people who stocks up on wine, instead of the requisite milk and bread (what's up with that, anyway?).
It makes total sense! If you know you're going to have the next day off, you might as well enjoy it
I went out on our weekly grocery trip. Whoops. It was nuts. I had to wait in line for a cart.
I was surprised at my Homeland, actually, as it wasn't any more busy than usual. Home Depot was about the same, as well.
Apparently I need to pull my head out of my @ss. We went to Wally World after the Thunder game and couldn't imagine WTF was going on. People everywhere, kids screaming and running all over the place - okay, that is normal, the store was nearly out of bread......big storm coming, eh?
I guess I should have bought something other than fruit, sandwich meat, and apple juice.
We went to Sams and Crest. Both were nuts. I wasn't stocking up for the storm, but since I was out of town last week, I needed fresh veggies and fruit.
I'm about to head to Wal-Mart to get just what I need until this thing blows through. I'm trying to save my big shopping until I can hit the Commissary. I do NOT want to deal with Wal-Mart after work tomorrow, so I'd better go now while I have the time and patience.
I need some of the basics, and some frozen foods since it's just me this week [JJ's with my parents]. I picked up some more salt, too. Last time we had a legit winter storm, my apartment didn't do jack [they never do because they don't want to be held liable for anything], so I had to dig myself out. It sucked.
Hope B gets to feeling better.
I plan to go to Braums after work and stock up on milk and OJ; would rather go to Wal-Mart because I like Simply Orange Juice better but don't want to fight the crowd that will be in there. I also need to pick up some bread and whatever else I see I think we may want if were stuck at home for a couple of days.

I loooove Simply Orange Juice. Extra pulp? Yes, please!
YES-the "country stand" with extra pulp is the best!!!
I went to Crest last night for some regular groceries, and tons of stuff was sold out! People are going nuts. We always have plenty of food in the pantry and freezer, though, so we're good anyway. Also, DH brews beer at home, so we have plenty to drink, haha.
