Well, I've just seen grocery store Hades. And, let me assure you ladies, it isn't pretty-lines as long as the aisles. And, why are those lines so long you might ask? Well, the weather is suppose to turn snowy, sleetie (no such word...Bug invented), and icy sometime on Saturday in NC. None of the weather outlets can agree on what the precipitation will be. Nor can they agree when it will start. Luckily, none have predicted it to begin before 10 am, which leaves me just enough time for a run and sauna at the Y.
See, for you folks up north, you probably wonder why all the excitement. Well, in NC when it snows, sleets, or ices it paralyzes everything. We don't get enough winter weather to justify money spent on preparing and maintaining weather ridden roads. It is crazy. It isn't fun. I don't like it. But, what can I do about it? Right now, nothing besides battle the grocery store lines and prepare for a long Saturday.
As I was clamoring for food in between the juddering buggies, a rather paranoid thought crept into my mind. Perhaps the thought was spawned by lack of food and a stressed body worked way past its point- but a thought it was. I wondered...what if the weather personnel and the government were behind all this crazy stuff.-calling for bad weather so people would spend more at the grocery store. Bread would fly off the shelves. Milk would disappear into little old ladies buggies and off to the refrigerator back home. What if the government controlled satellites that depicted weather now? Uncle Sam could just throw his laser beams into space and watch NC grocery store sales rise. Snow coming, time to buy some bread and milk.
Okay, so it is my crazy imagination. But, wouldn't make a good book? Everybody likes to gravel into government conspiracies, don't they?
Not to get completely off the subject, but let me share a rather strange dream I had last night. This dream prompted me to buy a steak this afternoon. Last night, in my crazy little dream, I dreamt that I had picked up a steak in the grocery store. Before I checked out, I opened the package and began to eat the steak raw. After eating raw steak, I stopped by a local barbecue eatery and ate some pork barbecue. Then, I stopped by Kentucky Fried Chicken for a bucket of fried chicken. I topped it all off with an Italian sub with extra pepperoni. Is this dream trying to tell me that I'm protein deficient? LOL
Okay, I've got to end this, I'm hungry. LOL

Watch us when a hurricane warning is posted... methinks you in the south will find that amusing.

Yes, I got your email. Thank you! I'll email you another story this weekend. I went back my old name for security reasons. Actually it isn't my old name, but like my old name. I had to add the 19.
Hugs,

Yes, I read the part about you responding to my dream. I probably had the dream because I miss her. You know how that goes. Maybe my old name will conjure her up again? A grrl can daydream, right? :)

I don't know if this is a southern thing or not, but there were as many buying beer as milk and bread. LOL I guess the snow, ice, sleet grocery list should be revised...
