+6 = empty, Clash in 3D

by Duf Anything and Everything

So last night after doing my 4th EA Active  workout of the week I decided to go get groceries.  I decided to make it a different sort of grocery trip by going to the Publix at Ave Maria, the new catholic university/town in the middle of nowhere.  If you remember, this was the Publix I stopped at when I almost ran out of gas on a drive back from the volleyball tournament in December.

I always thought it would be interesting to shop there since it was so empty. I also figured it wasn’t all that much farther than our regular Publix which is between 8 and 9 miles away.  Well it was actually a lot further away than I thought, around 15 miles door to door.

Once again the place had more employees than shoppers as you can see from the picture.  The store is much smaller than my regular Publix and has an entirely different layout so it took me awhile to find all of my items. 

Ironically when I went to check out I had to wait a long time.  They only had one register open and I just happened to be behind a woman that had two shopping carts worth of food, it was incredible.  Her bill had to be pushing $300.

As I left the store the manager manually pushed the automatic door open.  I thought that was weird and I asked him if the door was broken.  Nope the store is closing, he said.  I looked at my watch, it was roughly 7:15.  I looked at the hours on the door and saw 9-7 everyday.  Wow, life in Ave Maria certainly is different. 🙂

Last night I actually turned my computer on but it was only so I could copy a movie to my Tivo. No WoW, once again.   This weekend I plan to watch Underworld Return of the Lycans and Hurt Locker.  I had issues getting Hurt Locker to play via my Xbox so instead I tested the PC monitor capability of my new Sony LCD tv.  I was able to hook up a laptop to the the Sony and play a movie just fine, very cool.

My weekend as a bachelor is shaping up to be pretty mundane.  I have plans to do some outside spring clean up on Saturday.  Saturday night I want to go see Clash of the Titans in 3D since it’s a movie Ali wouldn’t want to see.  If nobody chimes in that they want to be my “date” I will just go by myself, it will be cool either way.

Sunday is Easter.  I am going to mom’s place to enjoy Easter dinner as well as help her do some stuff to help with her move.  She has the keys to her new place so we are going to move some of the stuff over awhile.  I am looking forward to seeing her new place.
