The Peon Version of "Normal or Not"

Sometimes it's necessary to just get out there and mingle with the public. You know, to be "normal" and all and stay connected with your roots. I chose a pair of jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt, paired with my jacket you know, to blend in with my surroundings. I wore shoes too, duh.

So a trip to Fred Meyer's it was! My basket was laden with all the essentials:



Runner's World magazine (Because I've get to break down and subscribe, and really, what would be my purpose to leave the house if it was delivered to my doorstep?)

GUM! (Because gum is perfection.)

A notebook (Because I don't have enough partially filled ones lying around the house to start taking notes at a moment's notice.)

Coconut water (Because Duh! On sale for .99 cents! You'd be a moron to pass on that.)

Beeswax candles and oil (Because my ears hurt and Hilliary tried it and loved it and because I've been curious if it would help with the damage that the ear plugs may be doing?)

Coconut scented lotion (Because I love coconut EVERYTHING! Coconut fro-yo, coconut water, milk, oil, candy, everything coconut I heart. Seriously. Except a coconut bra. I don't think I like those. Nor could I fill one up.)

Walnuts (Because coconut in my oatmeal each morning...well now, that does sound delicious. Hmmm...!!??!)

What's missing in the picture? Ooooh maybe my newly cleaned ring that was getting all shiny while the shopping shennanigans were underfoot? And definitely missing is the box of tampons which really was the whole reason I set out in the first place. $6.19 purchase turned into $40ish dollars. That's how I roll.
