What's in your grocery cart?

 

Well... first off... I don't use a grocery cart... never have. I also don't use the basket that you can wheel around. I'd rather use the basket that you carry. So... what made me think of writing this? It popped into my head tonight after dinner when I was putting my groceries on the conveyer. I was thinking... boring... sort of healthy. The other thing is that I wanted to just write something, but there's nothing floating to the surface at all, and let's face it... my head sort of thraches (somewhere between throbbing and aching) ... I call it the "headsquish". Not really a headache per se... just feels as though the head is in a vise. Nothing big. So here I am writing about ... groceries.
