Dear Whole Foods Bag Girl

2007-12-31T07:08:16Z

I guess I do appreciate you putting my groceries away in the same bags I brought you. You are stacking things pretty nicely and avoiding the use of too many bags which I like since I already have too many of the blasted things at home. Hey, I und...

Before Christmas I'm the little fish inside the big fish After Christmas, I'm the big fish who eats even when she's not hungry. By the way, this is Bruno. He's a peacock bass who lives in the shop's fish tank. He only eats live fish - and wh...

Evil marshmallows from hell

We went to the mall today for a day of christmas shopping. We found clear sky, easy parking and no lines. It was a little disconcerting. I was expecting hand to hand combat. We went to Williams Sonoma four times. It turns out that most of our fri...

What did you just say?

Not very illuminating

2007-10-30T05:49:56Z

I love my Halloween lights. They’re all purpley and orangey and not very scary but pretty in an ethereal kind of way. Too bad they're mostly dead. Something happened to the light strings over the summer. Something bad. Something so bad in fac...
