it was the best type of sunday in that i had nothing on the agenda but relaxation. i had started a really good book (THE LOCK ARTIST by steve hamilton) and so i read and snacked and read and read and read.
deciding around 4pm that i needed some fresh air, i headed out to the grocery store. i had brought my cloth grocery bags, so the guy bagging my groceries turned to me when he reached an impasse: ground beef.
guy: you want the meat wrapped in plastic?
me: *giggles to self* please.
due to the aforementioned day of relaxation, i realized this was the first time i’d spoken all day. (it was sort of fitting considering the book i’d just finished contained a main character who doesn’t speak. he can, he just chooses not to.) i can, obviously, but that day, i chose not to. i was happy to know, though, that despite the lack of voice, i hadn’t lost my sense of humor.
guy: *hands me receipt* have a nice day.
me: you too.
and with that, i went back to my scheduled silence.

lol. i always smirk when they ask me that, too. usually, i get the old guy bagging my groceries and he just gives me a weird look. the young kids will laugh along with you :)

the older i get, the more entertaining the grocery store is. i’m not sure what that says about me, but it’s a true story.

Tee-hee. Good one. And, yeah, go ahead and laugh out loud next time. :)

i think i held the laughter in because my voice was rusty from lack of use… next time, though!

LLOL. Literally laughed out loud.
Your Sunday sounds like my Sunday. BLISS.

pebbsie!!!!! welcome back to my blogosphere. i missed you. and i’m glad i made you literally laugh out loud. the llol also makes me think of someone actually laughing because it looks like a typo, the two Ls, which i would think would happen if you were laughing out loud whilst typing.
