We're buying and selling your history
How we go about it is no mystery

Someone asked me to tell them what my EXACT daily schedule was because they couldn't believe how much I got done in a day. The thing is, I don't stop. If I find one second of free time, I fill it. I just have too much to do.

I don't know when the last time was that I did anything leisurely. Even going marketing. I don't go to large supermarkets that often. I usually buy groceries at Trader Joe's or produce farmer's markets. But once every few weeks I go to Ralphs. It's football field large and a pain for me to find stuff which is lame because I don't have time to waste.

So when I go to the market, I have a list in hand. I need to hit everything on that list as fast and efficiently as possible to head home and start doing other things. The other day in the middle of a market run, I'm at checkout and the lady behind me starts asking me all kinds of crazy shit. "Is that orange sherbet? What does it taste like?" Dude. Shut. Up. I don't think I have a very nice face, yet strangers LOVE TO TALK TO ME. Whatever strangers - back on up.

Luckily (or not) it wasn't just me. The woman in front of me was perusing the candy at checkout when Crazy Sherbet Lady yelled at her, "YOU DON'T NEED THAT. DON'T YOU BUY THAT." What. How is that her business? After repeatedly trying to ignore her the Candy Lady said, "I KNOW BUT I WANT IT." Yeesh.

This whole long ass story is just to tell you that Dean and Deluca is offering a fully stocked pantry for $1000. At first I thought it was insane. Then after Crazy Sherbet Lady? Never having to leave my house to stock my pantry sounded like a damn fine idea.

You know how cats always go up to the person who hates cats the most? Maybe that's like you and strangers.

Hee.

I don't see Astronaut Ice Cream as a part of the pantry. Pity.

i have a mean resting face, so no one really talks to me. i don't mind. however, cats do come up to me, and i hate them.

trader joe's is my saving grace. having a $1k dean & deluca pantry sounds good...as a gift.

seriously, you are one efficient mofo (meant in the best way possible).

I'm like the potato: mean resting face. My mom, on the other hand, is a crazy magnet. She even wrote a short story about it.

Strangers don't really talk to me, but babies flirt with me like crazy. It's because of my big baby head. Oh well.

I think I'm going to finally google Dean & Deluca. I've seen you mention before and I remain clueless.
