A good grocery trip...

Don't you just love it when things are just so-so, and you might be having a good day, but you aren't sure, but then something totally awesome just flies in and makes your day? That is precisely what happened to me.

I went grocery shopping today. Without a list. I know, I know...a bad idea. It was a last minute trip and I had a pretty good idea of what I needed. I found wonderful sales...that's the best part! There's something about getting a really GOOD DEAL and saving a whole bunch of money that just makes me grin. I found good hamburger on sale, and ice cream for James too. I love buying something that I know he will love. Something that will make him peer into the depths of our fridge and say: "Ooh. I didn't know we had that." James loves dessert. Ridiculously so. Sometimes the man can eat cookie dough, a bowl of ice cream, and polish off a dozen cookies or so to round out his dessert experience. Maybe with a Dr. Pepper...on the side. *grin* He's great fun to be around when dessert rolls around. Or we roll around to dessert, if ya' know what I mean. :)

I called my mom and Melissa to share the good tidings. Perhaps Wednesday is the magic day to shop at Kroger. I ended up accidentally interrupting Melissa, but she wasn't bothered, so that's okay. Speaking of Melissa...she's still pregnant, for those of you wondering. I don't know who's wondering. Nobody is commenting. But that's okay.

What is the deal with the guy that bags your groceries thinking that a Kroger sticker is your 8 month old's heart's desire? Poor Ize got a little freaked out. You could see him thinking: "Dude. I don't want that. Don't stick that on my shirt. This is my dinosaur shirt, I don't want your icky sticker messing it up." The sacker was not to be deterred. He dodged those little 8 month old hands warding him off to stick a sticker on his shirt. Isaac commenced loud wails. Mama Bear waded in and said aggressively: "He clearly didn't want the sticker, you paper or plastic sacking moron! Do you get a commission PER STICKER? Leave my kid alone!!!" Not. Mama Bear said something to the effect of: "It's okay, sweetie...Mommy will take the sticker away." And she did. But then Mommy had the sticker, and whatever Mommy has is cool...so Isaac wanted the sticker back. So I gave it to him. *siiiiiigh* The drama of Kroger mixing with motherhood. *smile*

It's a good day.
