Adventures is Grocery Shopping - Part 2: HAIL THE CONQUERING HERO!
Went all bright and early to get on the van to go shopping and wouldn't ya know, no room left, so I had to wait 40 minutes for them to come back for a second round. (Un)fortunately, the few people who were also waiting for the second round left so I was the only person on the van on the way there aside from the driver obviously).
So, got the Rainbow and it was.... eerily quiet. Like library quiet. It was kinda creepy. Went to the fruits and veggies and got some garlic and onions. Nope, no lemon juice. Found my not wing form chicken and all the other things I came for, then, it was on. The hunt for honey and lemon juice began. Lemon juice didn't take too long. It was hiding above my head in the juice section (I'm sure the guy who was walking behind me thought I was nuts when I found it 'cause I did a little dance and sang "Hail the conquering hero." But the honey. Oh that damn honey, good lord it took forever. Finally, I found it by the bread. That's right. You heard me. THE F'ING BREAD! Who the hell puts honey with the bread. It makes no sense.
My luck with the van only got better since as I finished shopping was within the same five seconds as the first group left. So, whoopee, another 40 minute wait. But, I did find something to entertain me while I was waiting.
Impulse buyer, crazy fangirl, call me what you will, I couldn't resist. Hugh Laurie makes life worth it. I haven't read the whole article yet, but here's an excerpt:
(Red = TV Guide
Black = Hugh)
Who's your doctor?
I don't have one here. Is that ironic? Nope, I don't think it is.
Seriously, just how American are you these days? Which do you say:
A: "Gimme a coffee!"
B: "Can I get a coffee?"
C: "You wanna gimme a coffee?"
D: "May I have a coffee, please? No hurry. When you've got a moment."
That's a trick question isn't it? I would choose tea. (And talking of pots and kettles in an earlier question you used "guest" as a verb, which I believe is an offense under British law. I'll let it go this time, but as subjects of Her Majesty, we can't verb nouns like that.)
Can you still do an English accent?
Only during the act of love.
I also called my friend Chirs and employed his help with a crossword.
On the van ride back the driver found a way to cut 10 minutes off the drive and since I was the only one on the van she dropped me off in front of my apartment. So, yay us. Turn in next week for another exciting Adventures in Grocery Shopping
