My new favorite thing in life

is to act like an old lady and complain about inflation. I was recently having a conversation about this with a friend and I just thought I would share some of my old lady ways with you. Case in point:I remember when you could get a scoop of ice cream at Thrifty's (not Rite-Aid) for 25 centsIn broad day light I will walk to my neighbors front yard and steal rosemary from them because I refuse to pay $3 for 2 sprigs at the grocery storeI remember when gas was 99 cents a gallonI bought mexican moomoos on my HM and plan on wearing them in the front yard, while watering, for all the neighbors to see. I may also wear them to the local farmers market where I buy most of my produce. I am still on the fence about thisI will never pay more than 19 cents for a banana because anything above that is silly

    I totally remember the 25c ice cream at Thrifty's, and I remember when gas was 89c.  I used to get upset over gas prices then, and now.....holy smokes!I also remember going through school without ipods, cell phones, and the internet. Yes, folks, we used what was called a L-I-B-R-A-R-Y.  You know the place that has books for you to read, it's not a storage facility for books. LOL!I loved muumuu's when I was a kid, besides, we lived in Hawaii where they are fashionable. Our kids today have no clue what it means to be a kid. =(

    You want to hide the fat that you are getting from the ice cream(not saying you're fat just saying why that seems funny lol)

    Which neighbor has the rosemary, Amber? Maybe I'll steal some since we're practically neighbors now!

    Yay for being neighbors!!! So if you make a left on Roosevelt its the 2nd house on your right. Bring scissors. It makes it easier and faster. Otherwise you look super shaddy trying to tug at their rosemary bush.

    I remember gas being $1.12.  I didn't get my license and first car until I was 19 (1999) so I don;t remember it being under $1/gallon,  Thrifty's is awesome.  I remember 25 cents a scoop!!
