By the time I got moving, it was late. Not to mention, it's still supposed to be pretty cold today, and I had a lot of grocery shopping I needed to do later. I called Uber. They got me to work literally with no time to spare. I got confused going home when a woman picked me up instead of the man who was originally supposed to come, but he canceled, and she took the ride. At least she got me home in 5 minutes.
That was the worst thing that happened all day. I only swept the store for the first half the day. A new bagger came in and swept during the second half. I spent the rest of the day pushing carts. It wasn't a bad day for it. Though it remains cold and cloudy, the wind has at least died down. There were no major problems, and I was in and out.
Consolidated my grocery shopping to just the Acme this week. Restocked yogurt, coconut milk, apple butter, oranges, soda, granola, granola bars, and bagels. Found a slice of pumpkin cake for $1.99 and brioche hot dog rolls for $2.99, and coconut eggnog half-price.
Changed when I got home and watched A Little Princess while putting everything away. I go further into this sweet animated version from the 90's of the popular Frances Hodgson Burnett novel at my Musical Dreams Movie Reviews blog.
Spent the rest of the afternoon taking down the remainder of my Christmas decorations. These are the items that go out first, like the nativity, the copper bell with the candy-cane cut outs, the crocheted coasters, the cross-stitched poinsettia magnet I got from a church bazaar a few years ago, the big fabric bows I hang on windows, and the feather-style tree from Dollar Tree and its decorations. The poinsettia place mats need to be washed and will be put away later. Other than that and changing the dolls into their regular January clothes, that pretty much ends my Christmas season.
Put up the remaining general winter items that I didn't have room for in December. This consists mainly of four snow-people - one stuffed, one with wooden spool arms and legs, one a folk art style angel carrying a wreath, one a snow-bear - that I put on the entertainment center. Also hung up two snowmen in bright-colored hats and a bell shaped like a wren.
Listened to the soundtrack from the Disney live-action Snow White while I worked. Critics were harsh on this last spring, but I suspect it had more to do with its leads bad-mouthing it before the premiere and some controversy with the dwarfs and the special effects than anything. It certainly wasn't the fault of the soundtrack. Some of the new songs are really fun, especially the charming opening and closing chorus number "Good Things Grow." "Heigh Ho" sounds great here, too.
Finished the night on YouTube after a shower with dinner and tonight's Match Game marathon. Given how salacious things could get, there was an awful lot of talk about - and showing off - the human anatomy. Betty White would frequently roll up Gene's pant legs to expose his knees. She once showed off her hips to illustrate an answer, and she was prone to doing stripping routines. Debralee Scott stuck out a stocking-clad leg to illustrate her answer in a nighttime episode. Bill Daily hung his coat on it to block the view! There was also Fannie Flagg's hand-print sweater with the hands in strategic places. Most of the talk was really limited to "Human __" or some such on the Audience Match, or wild questions about what cannibals eat or about Ugly Edna's limbs.
Let's get physical and learn more about the human body Match Game-style in these hilarious episodes!
