...pregnant or berzerk. I just made the mistake of buying a gigantic jar of dill pickles, and every time I see it in my fridge, or try to fit something else into my fridge besides the pickles, I wonder what went through my mind when I bought them.
I can explain the circumstances surrounding the purchase, but it still doesn't make sense. I was in Costco (clue?) shopping for a barbecue we were giving at the house. I expected about 25 guests for hamburgers. So I spied this mammoth jar of sliced dill pickles for $5.69.
Look toward the top of the jar and notice how many pickles are missing. That's how many pickle chips 25 people put on 25 hamburgers. Now ask yourself how long it will take four people to eat the rest, as a garnish to the occasional sandwich.
Sometimes you just have to blog about what's on your mind, and I'm a bit preoccupied with this jar of pickles right now. I did create a pickle-jar still-life photograph that may just sell for millions. The Spouse could quit work. If you know any fine art collectors, send them my way:

HAHAHAHAHA! The problem with costco and things like this is that who wants to go to 2 different stores to prep for a party? By the time I'm done with costco, I don't want to stop by my other grocery store, because it takes too long, and my cold stuff from costco just won't last that long in the car. Unless I bring a cooler, which I forget to do at least half the time. So, I just end up buying huge things like the enormous jar of ketchup from last summer that is still in the back of my fridge. You can have the green still life, maybe I can take a picture of mine and do red?! We could make it a collection and charge twice as much. Call it "shades of crazy housewifeness"?! :-)
Just invite me over. I love dill pickles. :)
Sounds like you are in a bit of a pickle! :) Wow! That is A LOT to go through. Bring 1/2 of them to the Fourth of July picnic at the pond and the other half to the Sunday School picnic the third week of July.
