Random Grocery Shopping Thoughts

  • There's a rumor that supermarkets are supposed to be great for getting dates but you have to be able to read the code of the food in the target's trolley*. Pretty sure it's all about the bananas and their placement - allegedly if the bananas are facing up, it means the person is gay and single. If they were facing down, it means they are straight and single. On a side note, it must be awkward for people who are oblivious of the code and are just buying bananas. All I know is that I don't like bananas so I substituted with a jalapeno and now I'm either in a gang or engaged.
  • I have an uncanny ability to pick the trolley that doesn't want to go in the same direction as me. All the wheels are at odds with each other.
  • No way am I going back to the car for a second trip to bring the groceries in. Doesn't matter how much I buy I always think I can make it in one trip. Even when I have to park a block away. By the time I get in the door, I have no circulation left in any of my fingers and packaging has slit open a gash in my arm. But I made it. I beat the groceries.
  • Some days I'm ashamed of the contents of my trolley and I want to put a sign on the front asking people not to judge me and the emotional state I am clearly in...
  • Do you ever go and spend $100 bucks on groceries and then come home and order dinner because you can't be bothered cooking?
  • I always make a list before I go. Sometimes I even bring it.
  • Sometimes I go to the supermarket just for the free samples. Then I leave. Thanks for lunch. 
  • When I first came to America, grocery shopping was fun - the food was so different and you don't have to peel your own carrots!  
  • Grocery shopping at Target is a mistake.  We all know what happens when you go to Target for regular stuff.  Now that they have groceries, I have a 5lb gummy bear. 
We're friends.

Weekly Round-Up of Things

Since nothing else has happened to me this week and I have no cohesive thoughts in my head, you get this...which is a lot more than what you were originally going to get.  Which was called nothing.
 
Overheard at work yesterday: "We're really coordinating good at the moment."  Which really gives me good confidence.

So you know when you're in line to get lunch and you greet the cashier with a "Hola" and she's all
Hola, Cómo está? Le puedo ayudar en algo?" and you're all "Yeah, I just have hello."  That happened.  Now I have to go take Spanish lessons to avoid this again.

Walked past this little girl last night - possibly 3 years old (they all look kind of alike) - sitting on her front step. She looked at me waved and said "you're pretty". Brought her home. I now have a daughter. 


Tattoos I am Thinking of Getting: Don't tell Mum.

Unicorn jumping over a rainbow that a dolphin is diving underneath - but imagine it without Batman. I just think that's too much.  Some people just don't know when to stop.
