Adventures in shopping...

I have to admit that in some areas I am a very slow learner. It happens like this...

I realize on a Wednesday that I am due for a trip to the grocery store. I make the mental list of things I'm running out of and, sometimes, even make a real list. I think to myself that I will run to the store after work on Thursday. Then, Thursday comes, I get through the work day and all I can think of is going home. So, I resign myself that I will have to go on Saturday. Friday's are out because of a standing dinner appointment each week. Now I KNOW that I hate grocery shopping on Saturdays. Actually, I hate it on any day but particularly on Saturdays because the store is always full of 85 year old's wandering the aisles S L O W L Y and it takes me forever to get it done. There are always maybe two check out lanes open and each one has at least 25 people waiting. I KNOW THIS!! And I do it every time.

I went today and waited for 20 minutes until the two little old ladies at the ground beef section made up their minds. It's GROUND BEEF...all of it... nothing else...what's the decision here?

I should be more patient I guess. No, what I should really be is smarter but I know that next time I will do the exact same thing. Duh!
