H-E-B Plus! Opening tomorrow
Why am I so excited to have a grocery store opening? For visitors outside of Texas, H-E-B is the best grocery store in the world with the best prices.
I grew up in Corpus Christi and H-E-B ruled there. H-E-B, or H.E. Butt Grocery Company, is based out of San Antonio and there weren’t any stores north of Austin for many many years.
When I moved to Dallas, it was Randall’s and there was no H-E-B in the area.
Then I moved to Houston and all there really were were H-E-B Pantry Stores, very basic grocery stores that didn’t have a deli or pharmacy. Houston got an H-E-B Central Market a few years ago and that’s a great specialty store, but not somewhere you’d go all the time.
When I moved to the suburbs, there was an H-E-B Pantry in Pearland but it soon closed so I was stuck with Kroger or god forbid, Wal-mart. Randall’s was the closest to my house but way too expensive. Kroger was considered the ‘bad’ grocery store when I was a kid so I really had a bad feeling about shopping there at first, but I got over it.
The first H-E-B Plus! Opened last year in Corpus Christi and it look me a whole weekend to see it. They have sooo much stuff!
Kroger and Randall’s have both remodeled and have had grand re-openings recently, I think in hopes of being able to compete with H-E-B Plus!. I don’t think that will work, H-E-B will prevail.
There was an open house of the new store today but I didn’t go. It was Mason’s dinner time and it would be torture not being able to buy anything. Pearland is very excited to have the doors open at 6am tomorrow morning. I won’t be there that early but I know people that will, a few are even calling in sick!
H-E-B Plus! Here I come. Don’t let me down!
I ordered a Canon 30D!!!
Finally bought my first DSLR I have been wanting for ages. I can’t believe it will be mine in a few days! I made my purchase through beachcamera.com who I have used in the past. I should have it in my hands on Tuesday. I was going to go with the 20D but changed my order at the last minute to the 30D for a few bucks more.

Same shirt in 5 different colors
Am I insane for buying the same shirt in 5 different colors?
I went to Banana Republic looking for a few shirts. I tried on 6 different styles but fell in love with the last one I tried on and bought the shirt in 5 colors!!
I think most normal people would think this is crazy. Maybe they would buy 2 of the same shirt but not 5!
