Some weekends require more decisions than others...

For example, when at Costco...
The water is a given, but..
Do I buy the 16 pack of razors?
How long exactly would it take a person to use all 16?
How much convenience will it bring to my life to have extras on hand?
Am I actually saving any money with this purchase?
Should I get a churro* on the way out?
*You know you ask yourself this too...

Or when planning your weekend, race prep run...
You use gmap-pedometer right?
Should I spend another few hours on the treadmill
or enjoy the splendid weather on the Mt. Vernon Trail?
Will running outside in short sleeves and sunshine
renew my hope for tan skin and days on the beach*?
*Yes, yes it did.


When considering a car wash...
One must ask, does anyone wash their car by hand anymore?
If so, should I?
Will it be as fun as it was when I was 12*?
*Yes, it really was! :-)

When choosing what to do Sunday night...
Am I up to the challenge of baking Martha Stewart's Chocolate Thumbprint cookies?
How vital exactly is the vanilla bean pod?
Will they be as delicious as I remember*?
Did I run enough this week to deserve a special treat?
*Oh yes they are! Try them!

Costco is always a right choice and really, is it bad that I don't ask about the churro?! I always get one, always!

I would walk around Costco with the 100 razors, and then at the last minute, talk myself out of them. I'm that worst Costco shopper. I always talk myself out of everything in bulk. Except maybe the chocolate chips???

Those cookies look pretty amazing. But with all your training you probably do get to have a few. Lucky duck.

Lauren - How about you make another post yourself??

Hillary - I knew we were bosom buddies for a reason.

Annee - Yeah I didn't mention how many times I put them in the cart and them pulled them out. Another costco item you converted me to: vanilla! Good quality and a great price.
