April 10th: InstaHell

InstaHell

I lived my own personal Hell today
I set it up for myself
chose to try my hand at Instacart
took the plunge, why not, a girls gotta eat
chose a 30+ item shopping list as my first, in a store I've never been in 
at peak shopping time

how innocent I once was, two hours ago...

dodging up and down aisle's
retracing steps
moving my mini-cart out of the way of other frantic, stressed shoppers
seeking, oh I was seeking
the last item on the Priority list:
Brach's Easter Jelly Bird Eggs

Just A Small Town Girl...

I bet you knew which song I was implying there. The forlorn vocals and searching lyrics filling your mind for a moment, turning your head into a radio. Or not. Makes things easier in this post if you just go along with whatever I say. :) It's been a while. Pull up a chair. I'll catch you up: If you missed the reference, I'm the small town girl who has jumped in the huge pond of Seattle. Headfirst, it feels like. Off of the really high diving board. I love it! Most of the time. I'm surrounded by very talented people, who are very kind to me. I'm pretty damn lucky, actually.  But what followed me to the city is this sense of ineptitude. The talent pool is stunning around here! And so intricate, with the many social tide pools and gossip eddies. (had to continue that analogy). And people are BEAUTIFUL around here. Tall, and chiseled, and well-groomed (most of the time). Even the women. This is not hyperbole, there must be something in the water, I swear.
