Sunday

This day sorta got off to a rocky start... I think we're rebounding, though. I just got home from the grocery store. I usually like to go to the grocery store at about 5:00 in the morning. Things are quiet, and I leave the boys in bed at home with their dad. That's my favorite time- I can take things slowly; peruse the cereal aisle at my leisure, giggle to myself about the tabloids at the check-out counter, and decide if I want two-ply papertowels or if the cheapest brand will do for today. Sunday afternoons are different... things are crowded and busy. Today, there was an older lady who, as we passed by the spaghetti sauce, looked over with an upraised eyebrow and carefully scrutinized every item in my basket. It kinda made me smile. As I was pulling in I saw a younger guy running into the store wearing pink flip-flops. Maybe pink is his favorite color, and I have no problem with that. It just made me wonder if he accidentally grabbed his wife's by mistake. When I was leaving I saw a truck parked in the parking lot. It was an older, dark-blue, beat-up kind of truck. It had an advertisement on the side. I think I'd like to meet the person who drives it. The ad was for "Premium Used Golf Balls, and Pure, Fresh Honey." That definitely made me smile. Talk about the combining of rather random passions. That's kind of like combining shoe shines with dog grooming or something. Like combining scrapbooking and coi pond installations, or photography and upholstery repair. It just reminded me that there are so many different people in the world, and most of us probably have a few passions that don't exactly fit together, but it makes us interesting, and fun to talk to and meet. The next time I meet someone new I think I'll ask- "What are the two things that interest you the most?" and just see what kind of answers I get.
