Miscellaneous pictures and a tragic sale

The anatomy of a Star Wars AT-AT Walker t-shirt

A man in a parking lot complimented Hubby on this t-shirt. I stepped back out of the car to say, “I got him that shirt!”

The man looked at Hubby and said, “Hold her close.”

Sparring gear in my trunk. It just makes me happy.

Dragon fruit at the store. They’re so cool looking. I’m definitely not in Ohio any more.

I dig old vehicles and have the pleasure of seeing them semi-frequently. That’s not rain through the car window, btw, it’s smudges from my son’s fingers.

I went to a fundraising event where Hubby’s coworker wore this lovely green wrap. I expressed my admiration, telling her sage green is one of my favorite colors. Also, I enjoy soft fuzzy things. The next day, Hubby brought it home from work with a note from her in Spanish. I sent her this pic.

Also, the banner in the background is the perennial “Happy Mother’s Day, Mom” banner that lives in my nightstand, of all places, the rest of the year.

And now, some sad news. The grocery store where I met the blog-famous Chex Mix Guy is closing. There was a big Closing Sale, so I checked it out two days after the sale began. It was depressing as all get out.

This was the meat department. I wonder what kind of elbows were thrown grabbing the 75% off meat when the sale began.

Aisles that were completely empty were blocked off by more empty shelves.

My heart was kind of breaking. I made the most of it by buying a bunch of stuff. I was doing my part to help them clear out, I guess.

My bill would’ve been $277.45. Instead it was $74.14. So, yeah, that was kind of awesome. Still…

The CMG messaged me in advance to break the news, which was nice. It would’ve been harder to bear without the warning. I got to bid farewell to my favorite checker. She was the one who seemed extra kind to me the night I stopped in after Jiu-Jitsu, my hair an absolute mess and eyeliner smeared around my face. When I got home, I understood why she was being so nice.

There was another checker I’d become friendly with. I considered backtracking to say goodbye to her, too, but then thought, “Eh, she probably doesn’t care.” Now I regret that.

I did learn that the employees are being reassigned to new stores, so that’s good news, at least. They’re not simply losing their jobs.

And since CMG was nice enough to reach out, I had the opportunity to ask who at his new store called him E-Dog. If your money was on the produce guy, you win! 🙂 CMG said he was confused at first, but, given that he’d seen me in the store earlier, he quickly put it together.
