It was really just a trip to buy flowers and maybe pick up a newspaper. First the bright orange Cheetos package caught my eye. But my inner food filter yelled, NO!!! So I wandered past.
> I was looking for coffee when I stumbled into the cookie aisle. Just a small box of animal crackers would be okay. And they would remind me of my childhood and mommy and daddy and a time of innocence. But then I spied the Walkers shortbread cookies which reminded me of my first boyfriend and the loss of innocence and they went into the grocery cart too.
> I decided to balance the sugar with salt and tore up one aisle after another in a desperate search for Lays potato chips. I can?t explain how I ended up with the tapioca pudding or how that led me to the frozen food section. But there I was faced with dizzying decisions of flavors and the rationale that now I would have dessert covered for the next week or more.
> I was happy to have a mask covering most of my face as I rushed to get out of the store before I was recognized. As I pulled into the line my eye caught the bright orange Cheetos and I thought as I grabbed it off the shelf, ?ah, what the hell!!?
