You heard me right the first time. I don’t mean any disrespect to the supermarket cashiers and/or baggers, but you must understand a lot of time and effort goes into selecting my bread. OK so maybe not a lot of time. Although it does take time to find the bread I’m looking for, sometimes there are only a few left and sometimes there are a lot of loaves. After finding my bread, then I have to look for one that doesn’t look like it has been mangled, stepped on or half missing. The last piece of work that goes into finding my loaf of bread is the freshness/expiration date. It’s not that I need to have one that will won’t expire for two weeks, but past experience and my close personal relation ship with Murphy’s Law has taught me that it is better safe than sorry. So maybe all of it happens in a few minutes, but there is a lot of effort and thought that goes into this.

All of that brings me back to the original point of this entry. I know all of you cashiers/baggers handle many many loaves of bread in an daily basis. But please try to understand all of the work we go through. When you pick up that loaf by squeezing it’s sides in look at us cringing….trying not to show it. Or when you put the bread in the bag and then promptly drop 2 or 3 soup cans on top of it, please notice the anguish on our faces. Above all there is absolutely no reason to continually grope and reposition that loaf of bread, it’s just wrong!

It finally happened……….OK OK so it happened at the end of July. So sue me I’ve been busy. I officially moved into my Condo on July 29th, a day that will live in infamy oops wrong decade, but seriously I know what you really want PICTURES!!! I took these the day before I actually moved in, so no furniture, just miscellaneous junk that had managed to make its way there so far.

The most important of these pictures of course is the gorgeous view.

I promise I will take more pictures once I have gotten things put away and given the condo a thorough cleaning.
