Day 18 Happy: Grocery shopping!
I remember going grocery shopping when I was a kid. I freaking hated it! Every once and a while, my Mom would load all us kids into the car and truck us down to the Commissary on base to do MAJOR grocery shopping. My sister and I, being awesome as we are, would make up games to play during the marathon trip. Our favorite was pretending that one of us was deaf, and we would do ridiculous (fake, and terrible) sign language to each other. We thought we were totally convincing, and that anybody walking by would think that one of us was really deaf, and that we were talking to each other via sign language.
Looking back, I realized that we probably just looked like idiots.
Now, grocery shopping is fun. Far less entertaining and politically incorrect, but fun. I enjoy shopping. Period.
And grocery shopping is technically shopping. Fun. Also, being that Marc and I are on a pretty strict budget (the wedding is eating my bank account, along with my soul), we have to keep track of what we are spending. It is like a game! I carry around my little notebook, making hash marks for every dollar we spend. Besides, we get to pick out ONLY the food we want to eat. Fluffernutters for dinner? Why not?!
Sometimes, being a grown up is awesome.
