what is going on?! watering down...... of toilet paper?
i've never ever look at the total length of tissue rolls before, it's just too complex and too much numbers usually!
what happened was---
i was about to buy the 16 big rolls = 32 regular rolls from CVS for $10, since it was on sale. just as i was planning to head to CVS, I see a Kmart ad for the exact same item size for $8.99. what the heck, i went to Kmart.
then i saw target's new ad for this week target has the 18 big rolls = 36 regular rolls for $8.99. i was there and just picked it up, figure it's cheap and might as well stock up.
i'm not sure if most of you know this, but the Charmin ULTRASTRONG has two versions. one is the big diamond print and one is small diamond print within squigly lines. in the past, i only buy the smaller more expensive packs and it's always the big diamond print. it's thick and strong. once a while back, i bought a huge 'special' pack at a discount and it was the latter. feels completely different and it's thinner.
the pack from kmart and target is the smaller diamond print (not the one i like.) but superman says 'whatever'- it'll do since its such a good deal... (i have my pet peeves)
im already disappointed in that it's the small print thinner version, but as i was stowing the packs away, for some reason 'this time' i took the time to look at the bottom #s info. perhaps i was contemplateing returning them just because of the print!! =/ the 16 big roll pack fr kmart has 4 more sq ft than the 18 big roll pack from target. i thought i'd mistaken. i double checked. ok, the 16 roll each has 200 two play sheets per roll. the 18 roll each has 176 2 ply sheets per roll! it just doesn't add up and how can both be called a 'regular roll'? is there a range for a regular roll? so sometimes the big prints on the packages are very misleading! =/
go figure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
first the bad prints and thinner quality for the BIGGER packs of Charmin UltraStrong - but now this?!!!
Charmin UltraStrong has been my fave for the longest time... tsk tsk tsk.

lil supergirl is now big supergirl!
my how fast supergirl is growing and she really is our pride and joy. everywhere we take her, she just makes everyone around us happy and even strangers gravitate twds her!
she is still co-sleeping with us, yes, still at 21 months. but we would not have it any other way!!!!!!! superman and i just love havng her close by and in arm's reach. she sleeps on her own crib, 3 sides up, and is pushed against our bed. she's still very attach to me when it's time to sleep and i enjoy every second of her snuggling up with me. i know this will all end sooner than i wish!
and she knows how to unlock my iphone! it's amazing watching her. she just slides the 'unlock' across the screen.
we're still hearing from a lot of people how advanced she is. we are happy to hear of course. she's very intuitive, she actually knows right from wrong and when we are upset. it's amazing to watch her comprehend our reactions to different situations and she takes it all in stride. we are very careful not to let her see us argue or raise our voices. so far we're doing good!- she's a very very happy toddler.
she's stringing words together. and making short sentences. and i love it when she just 'out of nowhere' reach over to hug me, pat me on the back, or bestow me with a kiss! such an affectionate child!~
she's finally eating cheese! she still won't each meat, but her chicken nuggets and fish sticks. but all in due time, we let her control her own taste and pace. still no veggies, except squash, but she we make sure she drinks naked juice green machine everyday.
we all just got our flu shots (mist for superman and i) last week. which is good, since we will be traveling shortly.
xoxo.
