I always wonder if grocery store cashiers pass judgment on the contents of people's shopping bags. Like, "honey, you could stand to lose a few, why don't you ditch the ice cream?" Or, "dude, if you drink any more beer, you're going to need a new pair of jeans."
I'm sure they had a good time looking at my basket today. I wandered into Publix this afternoon, and after a lovely chat with Emily Wring and her mother, I wandered up to the "10 items or less" counter with my 10 items or less--tampons, two Green & Black's chocolate bars, a bag of M&M's, two bottles of wine and a half gallon of milk--the latter a last minute addition to make my purchases seem "healthier." I don't think I fooled anyone, especially since it was obvious that the milk was going to be consumed with massive amounts of chocolate. Throw in "Steal Magnolias" on DVD and a pair of pyjama pants, and it couldn't have been more obvious that I'd be sitting at home all night in all my period bloat glory, eating chocolate, drinking wine and watching Lifetime movies.

same evening. I had a nice syrah and a dark chocolate bar with sea salt. I watched 3 lifetime movies and popped a bunch o advil. Glad this was not our Alaska week.
oh god that was funny mental picture!! I think people in my office are wondering what in the hell I'm laughing at...
...and see I'm reading your entries backwards so now I'm self concious about ending a sentence (sort of) with a preposition and that I can't spell (and I'm too lazy to look it up, I admit it.)
