54. Heartbeat... ? (I don't want to go downstairs and check)

My, oh my, you meet some STRANGE people at the grocery store at four in the afternoon. Like "Grammy" with four kids, who was probably only sixty, but was wearing this like bright, pearly pink eyeshadow up to her eyebrows. I found that entertaining and wanted to give her a high-five. I didn't.

Then there was various older couples coming out to grocery shop together since there's nothing else fun to do when you're retired, and seriously, there was this one older guy that was just LOST. He was there the whole time I was-- I ran into him a couple of times-- and he just had this blank expression on his face, a box of orange soda in his basket, nothing else. Hey, at least he had good taste in soda. There was the homeless guy who stunk to high heaven who just sort of stared at various things, where I assumed he was calculating in his head what he could afford, and I wanted to hand him a couple of bucks and tell him to go crazy, but I didn't know how to do it without offending him, and then I got nervous so I didn't. I should have. I don't know what he bought.

BUT UGGGGGGGGGGGGH, there was this thrity-something big-britches business guy who was racing around the store like it was going out of style, bumping into people's carts to make room for himself, running around like he owned the place... I seriously thought he was stalking me the first time I saw him. He followed me up and down like three isles, and was walkingg real fast, which made me nervous, so I walked real fast, and I couldn't shake him, and then when I stopped to grab Top Ramen, he had to stop behind me. I made sure I took my time picking out the chicken flavors for Grandma. HA, THIRTY-SOMETHING BUSINIESS GUY! That's what you get for trying to show all the other shoppers up!

BuUuUuUuUut.... new favorite snack?

M&M's in yogurt. Oh my gosh, I nearly died. So buying that again.
