Heaven looks like this...


...aisles and aisles of items that I am free to purchase in bulk. (I don't believe, even though this picture would seem to suggest it, that heaven looks like a cow with a huge nose.)

M and I finally found a Costco around here. I love that place. I love their delicious chocolate-chocolate muffins; the little old people that hand out the samples; the cheap books and DVDs and CDs; gigantic bottles of lotion and shampoo; and then all the super fun extra things you can find there--stuff you didn't even know you needed until you found out you could get one for such a great price (my "oooo, are you SURE we don't need this?" for yesterday? A sheepskin rug for less than $40. After a brief marital summit meeting, it was decided we were pretty sure we didn't need it--for now, anyway).

We found a great dish draining rack from Simple Human that just kicks the shit out of our old, plastic, Rubbermaid dish rack (you could get two cups and a bowl in that thing). And a 2lb brick of Tillamook extra special sharp white cheddar cheese. This cheese comes from Tillamook, Oregon. I grew up eating it, but it's hard to find here in the upper Midwest--and when you do find it, it's freaking expensive. So I sit here this morning, secure and satified with the knowledge that not only are my breakfast dishes drying in a fabulous draining rack, I'm also well-supplied with my favorite kind of cheese. It's a good day.

Now I've gotta go to The Fresh Market, because they are the only ones that carry that cheese. I haven't had it in eons. And you're right it is sooo good.

Thanks for putting the thought in my head.
