I promised Irving that I would return home with melon for him to enjoy. I stopped at Sunflower Market and purchased two bottles of wine, three unripe avocados, a container of rice milk, a bunch of bananas, a pint of blueberries, a bag of spinach of pasta, a container of greek yogurt, two greeting cards, and toilet bowl cleaner.
While I was at the cash register, I opened the second zipper to my bag and found my cereal! Last month, Cascadian Farm cereal was on sale at Safeway for $2.49 per box, and the box had a coupon stuck to it for $1 off if you purchased two. So, of course, I purchased two boxes for $4. I've been looking for the second box for a month. I was so excited that when the cashier asked me how I was, I told her that I was wonderful because I had just found my missing box of cereal in my bag.
She gave me a suspicious look and asked to see in my bag. I was sad because I was worried she would ask me to pay for the cereal again. Thankfully, they don't sell that cereal at Sunflower. I felt quite stupid for not considering the fact that it might look like I was shoplifting. I am just so used to carrying all of my shopping in one bag because of the motorcycle, but I usually have my receipts with me (groceries do not usually sit in my backpack for a month!).
So here I am, at home, with all of these groceries and no melon. I, I mean Irving the Turtle, happen to be desperate for some melon, but there is none.
09/03/11 UPDATE: My apartment had a bug infestation a few months ago. I freaked and threw out everything soft then double boiled and dried my clothes (so many shrank and had to be donated). I miss Irving.
