I don’t even know where to begin!
1. We are now a two-car family again. Thanks to Nate’s incredibly generous parents, he was able to get this beauty. Meet Cecilia.
2. I am annoyed at the baggers at Stop and Shop. I purposely use the self-scan registers so I don’t get the weird looks or eye-rolls when I ask to use my own bag.
Wait, that’s another store altogether. If your store SELLS and ENCOURAGES the use of reusable grocery bags, then your employees should not be so rude to the customers that use them. Christ.
Anyway, I use the self-scan because it’s just easier. However, now the SnS employees have taken to pacing in front of the self-scan registers and bagging the groceries for the customers. I get it, it’s helpful, it cuts down on lines and saves time, but it’s driving me CRAZY. When I have one or two items, just leave them be!
3. I had an interview at a large corporation on Friday. I’m pretty excited about it. I’m looking forward to a building with amenities like a gym and a cafeteria. I’m even looking forward to having a commute, though I know that will wear off quickly.
4. Last night we went to Wood-n-Tap with Francine and took a spontaneous trip to Northampton. It was a lot of fun. Cute little town with a lot of neat shops. I wouldn’t mind living there.

I hear you about the Stop & Shop baggers. I’ve been bringng my bags for years and there’s always someone who complains. I usually get the germ-phobic lady who won’t touch them, but sometimes I get good bagger. Rarely, but sometimes. Some lady at Shaw’s hassled me last week for bringing Stop & Shop bags into Shaws. I told her to stuff it. The BAG, the bag I meant.
I usually say “pack ‘em full, I don’t mind if they’re heavy” and sometimes that perks them up. I still get my dish soap in a plastic bag sometimes, but I take it out and leave the bag at the register.
Don’t give up green girl! Together we’ll save the world.
