The theme of the day today was grocery shopping. We (mostly Megan and my Mom) spent a while this morning figuring out what meals we would eat for the next several days, what recipes were entailed, and what ingredients were required. In addition, there were several odds and ends that needed to be picked up as well, culminating in a massive grocery list. All four of us embarked to the local McCaffrey’s, split up the list and began gathering up all the various items!
As it turns out, grocery shopping is not that exciting, so instead of describing the rest of our shopping trip in painstaking detail, I’ll share an amusing anecdote with you. While Megan and I were in the produce aisle, I noticed an elderly lady reaching for an item on the top shelf and having some difficulty retrieving it. I walked over to her and offered my assistance, but arrived just as she finally coaxed the item off of the shelf. In response, she gave a stern look and said, “You should have gotten here faster.” I told her that I was sorry and promised that next time, I would be quicker, to which she replied, “Apology accepted,” and went on her way with an ever so small twinkle in her eye.
In other news, the weather service(s) are predicting about a foot of snow tomorrow. (!!) NJ snow predictions have a tendency to be over-inflated, but the storm system is already dumping on NC and VA pretty good, so we’ll see what happens tomorrow…
