shopping for groceries despite my contempt

There is an alien in her grandma's tomato garden. I read this in Sylvia Browne's book. I really like the idea of a silver alien standing in my tomato garden.  I have got to pull myself out of this slump. I want to get in a fly saucer and jet across the galaxy. But I will probably go to the grocery store tommorrow. Stagger around wal-mart looking for stuff to feed my family. It is so terribly difficult not being an heiress. But I will rise to the occassion... being of an imagined noble birth and I will face walmart with courage. I will not give in and ride the motorized scooter. I will not eat out of my shopping cart. I will not snag a handicapped spot. I will return my cart. I won't think about anything at all but shopping. I will not spend too much money on the scented candles and I will not buy the fancy expensive cheese. I won't go buy a bag of popcorn chicken. I will not let the constant clinging and beeping sounds drive me mad. I won't be depressed when the toothless 90 year old man greets me at the door. I will not wonder how obese people seem to clog the aisles. I will most of all not look into the open salon where women are getting their toenails sawed down by petite oriental ladies. I will not gag at the advertisement for the the portrait studio package with the fake northwest fall trees background. I will understand that this is the pulse of American and the media has made me into a glamour snob. I will be for the people despite my arrogant attitude. It does not matter that I witnessed another woman attack another woman with a large cream of mushroom soup can in the cracker aisle. It will not sway me. I am pro American and this is a symbol of America now. It is an icon. I will not mind the experience of shopping at walmart at all. I will be in it, I will live it and I will love it with a passion because I could have no food at all. I could be starving in Korea. There are a million worse things. I am only sad that I have to compare my grocery shopping to a corrupt communist government. So I will rethink this...somehow.

cube, my target has no grocery section. Our taget is a wimp. Walmart is the master of the universe here.

I do my grocery shopping online, then go pick it all up. It's worth the $5 fee to avoid the hassles!
