There's a funny story related to that.
Yesterday (Tuesday) I went to Metropolitan Market to get us some nice, hot soup for din-dins. The express checkout line was clogged with like 15 people, so I went to a regular line that only had one lady in front of me. Several more quickly filled in behind me.The soup was really, really tasty!
The whole time I was in the store you could hear this child periodically scream. Not in anger or fear or anything like that. Just because it was fun to scream. The cashier lady and the woman in front of me were talking about misbehaving children the whole time they were doing the checkout process. When the woman with the groceries said goodbye and left, the cashier lady turned to me.
Immediately she said, "You were a well-behaved child, right?"
I gestured at the soup, "Of course! I'm bringing hot soup to my poor sick wife at home!"
All the women in line behind me simultaneously put their hands on their hearts and let out an "Awww..."
Then a woman two or three people behind me piped in with, "I'm bringing beer home to my husband!"
I gave her a hearty thumbs-up as I received my change. "That's just as good!" I let her know.
Carrie was supposed to have a split-shift yesterday but her class was cancelled, so she spent a grand total of about 20 minutes at work before coming home to work on a class sample in the comfort of her own house—and got paid for doing it. Kinda like me! We were both work-at-home peoples yesterday.
In the evening after the store closed (about 9:30 or so) Linnea came over with her laptop. 'Lina had broken the printer at their house, and she needed to print out Jay's resume. First I tried to get the laptop to talk to my big 'puter here, but something was probably screwy with her ethernet card becasue it couldn't recognize the network connection at all. It kept demanding that I connect to the internet via dialup. So I hooked the printer directly to the laptop and installed the printer software. Linnea was very thankful. I made myself a celebratory Manhattan and Carrie & I went to bed. Well, I played a little Animal Crossing first.
