We went to Costco after dinner because my son needed more milk and we needed more chicken tamales 🙂 After years of shopping at Costco, something happened there that we never experienced before. While we were at the electronics section (my husband’s favorite area at Costco), all the lights went out! At the time the lights went out, some people screamed! Since the entire warehouse went dark, it felt like I was in a zombie movie because all I saw was people walking slowly in the dark. It was kinda creepy. Good thing I downloaded the flashlight app into my iPhone.
After 5 mins later, some sections became lit such as the freezer section that stored frozen foods. About 70% of the warehouse was still in the dark.
Some aisles were very dark
While we were still doing some shopping, we noticed that the Costco employees were guarding all exit doors. They were standing at the front and back exit doors. Seriously, do the Costco employees think that everyone will automatically turn into thieves when the lights turn off and start looting the place? Kinda funny just seeing them guarding the exits with their arms on their waist.
After we paid for the items and walked back to our car, all the lights in the parking lot went dark! When we turned around to look at the Costco warehouse, the lights were out again. But when we looked at other nearby retail stores, all the lights were on. So this blackout problem was only happening at Costco.
After Costco, we went to Target to look for a Christmas gift for a child we will never get to meet. At times, Pixar has this Family Giving event during Christmas holiday. For this Family Giving event, you choose a card with a child’s name on it then buy the gift s/he wants for Christmas. Then my husband brings the unwrapped gift back to his work and Pixar will deliver the gifts to these children. This is our second time taking part in this Family Giving event. For our first time, we chose two kids (one girl and one boy).
The child we chose is named Mark and is 4 years old. In his wishlist, he wants a set of HotWheels. His second choice is Matchbox.
We got him a 20-pack set of HotWheels.
Also at Target, I found another possible Christmas gift for my husband. Hmm, you think he will like the Superman one?
Back at home, my husband was watching Snoop Dog perform at the Jimmy Fallon show. He actually told me he wouldn’t mind having that hat that Snoop Dog was wearing.
I told him I’ll just buy him the Goofy hat!
Nathan got his early Christmas present from his uncle Marvin. The bike is too high for him but he’ll grow.
