What my grocery items say about me

Last night we went grocery shopping. Rich was really happy, because he had gone a whole week without cereal and he was very sure he would die if he didn't have it for another week. Anyway, I have always known they "profile" you when you buy your groceries, so the coupons you get printed with your reciept are specific to the items that you bought. For example you buy peanut butter they give you coupons for jelly or if you buy ice cream they give you coupons for topping. So I looked at the coupon that printed with our receipt and laughed at what we had been profiled for this time: it was a coupon for 20% off at the Plus size clothing store. I guess my food choices indicate that I need plus size clothing!

What constitutes "a long time"

Rich asked me this question the other day. I don't remember what we were talking about, but he asked, "when you think, well that was 'a long time' ago, how long is a long time." I decided that 5 years seems like a long time. Maybe that is because I feel like we have been married a long time. This is a round about way of saying, we have been married for five years now. IT has been a great 5 years and it seems so crazy that is have been that long.


This is us...a long time ago!


I definitely feel like I picked the best one. Haha...really though these last 5 years have been great.

Mutants

A couple of months ago I bought some strawberries and opened the container and found these ginormous strawberries. This one was the size of an apple. I called it a mutant strawberry, then i ate the mutant strawberry. As I was eating it I started to wonder what exactly made that strawberry so big. AND if it makes the strawberry grow to freakishly enormous sizes, what is it going to do to me...and more specifically my hind quarters? Or worse yet maybe it has some kind of crazy radiation in and I am going to become spiderman (not that being spiderman would be bad...or spiderwoman I should say), but as Rich pointed out my power wouldn't be spider powers it would be strawberry powers. He said my superpower would be "to smell delicious and taste good too." Honestly, those would be lame superpowers. Anyway the point is...look at that giant strawberry.
