Earlier this year I was crazy sick. It took about 3 weeks to figure out I had mono and during those 3 weeks I thought I was dying. I could barely function. But a girl's gotta have groceries even if she can't hold her head up so I dragged my sorry little self to the store one night around midnight to get supplies. I had tried calling several of my friends to go for me but of course couldn't get a hold of any one.
So I lean on a cart and throw a few essentials in and basically had to give up at that point cause I couldn't stand for much longer, I could tell I was running a fever again and I just wanted to get back home at that point. So I head for the check out only to be met with possibly one of the most chipper people alive. He was chatty and my one word responses went unnoticed. He had one of those loud voices and laughs that kind of grate...He took his sweet time checking my items out commenting on each one. I find chipper people annoying when I'm well...when I'm sick I have no words to describe how I feel about them...anyhow, his face was burned into my memory.
Since then I have shopped at that same store and I always pick somone elses line because his mere existance reminds me of how miserable I felt at that time.
But tonight, I couldn't avoid him. His was the ONLY line. So again with the chipper. Of course I'm not sick this time so he was merely annoying. I'm sure he's a perfectly nice guy and working in a grocery store late at night could possibly be one of the most boring jobs out there...but still...stop with the chipper!

The pictures of the green field are nice. You looked cute as well. I hope you manage to protect the green fields and control urban sprawlin minneapolis. smart growth in minneapolis is not a bad idea at all.
I know exactly what you felt with this chipper. I have been in similar situation before.
Don't ever say that God doesn't have a sense of humor. How much did you hate me while you were standing at the register? : )
