and then I found five dollars

When I went to Wegman's this week there were no little carts available, only the huge ones. I thought I would have a stroke. I was extremely upset all through the produce section, then I spied an abandoned little cart in the corner. I totally transferred all of my things into it while furtively glancing around in case its owner appeared.

The End

pioneer woman (fail)

5:00 pm - leave for Pioneer Woman's book signing

6:00 pm - circle completely full parking lot like vultures, curse openly at other drivers

6:15 pm - wait to get in line (they have a crazy 'color' ticket system going on)

6:45 - get in line

7:00 - listen to inane conversation of women behind us

7:30 - still in line, have moved ahead maybe 20 steps

7:45 - Ashley goes next door to buy flip flops

7:50 - Ree walks by on her way to a bathroom break; hope that seeing the long line will make her sign faster and not have conversations with every single person

8:00 - still in line, feeling weak from hunger, overhear someone saying the borders cafe is out of food

8:30 - still in line

9:20 - have moved up maybe three steps in the past 45 minutes - decide to bail

What this picture doesn't show is the line of about 150 people snaking through the bookshelves on the right.

9:30 - dinner at Chipotle; throw dagger eyes at smug people coming in with their books signed.
