Here at Casa del Arnoldos, we use a pad of Post-It Notes on top of the microwave as our grocery list. We used to write down just general things on the list (milk, toilet paper, Jarts, etc.), but lately we've started to be a little more specific (2% milk, Angel Soft 12-roll pack, red Jarts, etc.). I guess we're being more specific (or at least I am) because Beth has started to go grocery shopping by herself a bit more often and I'm kind of picky about what we buy.

So anyway, Beth took it upon herself last week to do our weekly shopping while out was out playing softball. She grabbed our list and headed off to Bloom.

Here are a few of the items that were on the list:

- 1 white onion
- 24-pack of water
- Garlic powder
- 2 cloves of fresh garlic
- Whole mushrooms
- 1 9-volt battery
- Jar of sliced jalapeños
- Coffee creamer
- Bounty Select-A-Size
- Frozen chimichangas (chicken)
- 6 Roma tomatoes
- Hefty kitchen trash bags (45 ct.)

When I got home from softball, Beth proudly announced that not only did she go grocery shopping, but she also got everything that was on the list. Well, everything except for one thing.

And what was that one thing?

She couldn't find any 19-volt batteries.

Maybe I shouldn't have been so specific.
