Thanks, Universe!

Wednesday, the universe was busy making me smile, and or shake my head.

Ever have those elusive grocery items that you keep forgetting to purchase? In my case, I have been out of eggs for two weeks. I've ignored phone reminders, and tossed away slips of paper. This afternoon I went to #Wegmans, and left triumphant! Mission accomplished, but not before the next few instances...

I guess that I have that kind of face? A thirty-ish dude in the grocery store, held me up extolling the virtues of grape jelly. He was obviously heavily medicated. While I admit that I wished that I could snap my fingers and disappear, I am glad that I could not. Who knows, this may have been his only human contact in a week. Sixty seconds that was good for both of us really.

Two year old: Mommy, what time is it?

Humorless, Mean mom: Why you gotta know? You gotta go somewhere?

TYO: I have to go to work.

HMM: I wish you did have some work to go to!

TYO: Well...

Poor kid. 😕

Why me? An attractive very fit, 50-ish woman in running gear sidled up her cart next to mine in Wegmans. I was trying to decide between Almond Milk and Fat Free Milk so, it took a second to notice her. When I looked over at her, she smiled and said "This is the stuff you need, 100% Chocolate Milk!" #WorstpickuplineEVER then opened the container and took an unhealthy swig, and smiled. I awkwardly said that she had caught me at the wrong life stage. "Chocolate Milk or Milky Way bars is always great," she added.  She then waited for my answer.

"Everything in moderation. Have a nice day." She smiled, and fortunately took the queue.

I am getting better at losing people. 😛

From Tuesday, while at another store...

One of my biggest pet-peeves is when store clerks make an error, and then act as if you are a jerk for not going along with things. My total was $9.27, and I presented $9.00 in coupons. The cashier told me that my total was $9.26 after the discounts. After calling an assistant manager and a manager for help, they re-rang things four more times. I was patient and apologetic. I thanked them at the end, and they all glared as if they wished they could throat punch me, as the cashier took my 26¢.

I didn't have the heart or time to tell them that one of my two items was actually missed marked. My cost actually should have been -73¢. 😂
