adventures in grocery shopping

May already?!?     I haven't forgotten about this little blog of mine, just haven't felt like getting on the computer at night after being on it at work all day and haven't felt like writing anything.  I did have something happen this weekend that I decided was blog-worthy :)


When I was in line at the grocery store I suddenly felt something wet splatter on me - seemed like it fell on me and I could not figure out where it came from.  It had gotten my checker and the person in the aisle next to me too.. turns out it was a beer can that got a hole in it in the checkout aisle next to me (learned a valuable lesson: don't pack the conveyer belt too tight, things get smashed when it funnels to the checker and that smashing is what caused the can to burst).   I fared better than my checker - she had to clean it out of her ear....it was truly terrible beer too, Old Milwaukee I think.  Poor checker was going to smell like it all day....I got to head home from there so it was just a funny story for me.

It was the oddest thing to happen to me at the store in a while but not the oddest thing ever.  I've actually had to have an incident report completed at a store before when I slipped and fell on spilled laundry detergent (looking at you Wal-Mart) .  I can laugh about it now - including the misspellings on the incident report, but that day it really hurt and left a mark on my leg, no good since I had a wedding to attend later that same day....

What is the craziest thing that has happened to you at the store?

Do you want to see something really funny?  The local weatherman got the hiccups on live tv.  Kevin saw it live, I didn't even think to look for it online (of COURSE its online), thanks to my brother for sending to me!


K kept saying that other news sites would pick it up and sure enough, today he sent me a CNN link to the video. 

Poor David Paul.  He actually kept his composure and tried to get through his segment really well....I'm sure I wouldn't...I hate the hiccups.
