ALL HAIL COSTCO!
Dec. 9th, 2005 01:01 pmFor Lo, Costco Provides All Of Our Needs.
I'm thinking about building a tiny shrine to Costco and burning a candle there every day. But I probably won't, because I'm way too lazy.
In any case, to explain: Alex and I are up in Washington for the rest of this week and (probably) part of the next. Alex is doing work/going to do work/stuff like that, and I am relaxing. Both of us are going to the annual Assylum Christmas Party this weekend.
So, today, we were possessed with the need to go to Costco. I think we were just going to look around. I'm not sure why we needed to go to Costco here, since we have one at home, but that doesn't matter. We just wanted to. So we wandered into Costco, and what was the first thing that met our eyes?
XBox 360.
What was scary was that, at Costco, the package was a far better deal than the one we were looking at over at Best Buy. Of course we picked one up. It came with everything, including a game that Alex wanted. So, Merry Christmas, Alex.
We also saw a jewelry set that made me go "ooh," at which point Alex was irritated. He said something about, "You find the perfect Christmas present for you in a state where I cannot go and get it without you knowing!" I reminded him that we'll be here for the next few days, so he'll get his chance if he really wants to go and get it. Hee hee.
Costco continued to provide for us as we walked through the book section. They had all of these inexpensive sets with a hardcover libretto, two CDs of a full opera, and extra notes. Each little set held one opera. Alex's dad loves opera, and he is incredibly difficult to shop for. Also, one of the sets was Madame Butterfly by Puccini, which is Alex's dad's absolute favorite opera. We got him one of each opera, and that's his Christmas present taken care of. HUZZAH!
We also bought some port for the pot roast and a ham. Yay!
Costco is definitely my favorite store for general stuff. We get almost all of Alex's clothes there. We got our fine china there. We get all of our meat there. It is a mighty store.
We did much Christmas shopping on our way up here, as well. We stopped by Williams Sonoma, which is my favorite store for the holidays. It always smells good, it's always warm, and it emphasizes food. Food is, after all, what the holidays are all about, right? Plus, they had free samples of their mulled cider. Mmmmm. I have got to get the mulling spices out and make some of my own when we get home. We got a good deal of Christmas shopping done there and at Kitchen Caboodle across the street. Most of our friends and family like to cook, eat, or both.
It has been a good and productive trip thus far.
Last night, I was hilarious, but I can't remember anything I said. This is really too bad, because there were several conversations that I made a mental note to remember for blogging purposes, but I expect that those mental notes made friends with the mental shredder. Ah, well.
More updates as time and events permit. Life is wonderful!
