I got 900 words in on Valet of Anize, I'm considering that a success for the night. :P But I'm not posting them yet because if I'm lucky tomorrow I get to write a kickass scene I actually want to write! Hooray!

I had some business to do at my bank (lord how grownup I sound) and then swung by Trader Joe's for some bread and Weber Grill for a nice celebratory dinner. And then I came home and collapsed from omg so much food.

I had the most bizarre encounter at Trader Joe's, where an enormously tall dredlocked woman on rollerblades saw me checking out, buying a single loaf of bread, and scoffed at me like I'd just farted on the playground or something.

"THAT'S all you're BUYING?" she said.

"Uh. I needed bread," I said, totally bewildered by the GIANT PERSON ON SKATES mocking me for my food choices. Then she sniffed at me and SKATED AWAY.

Clearly some people aren't secure in the concept of "ten items or less".

Maybe she thinks it's wasteful to go out for just one thing? But she has no way of knowing that you ran other errands as well. That's the best I can think of. I try not to go anywhere (unless I'm walking!) if I'm not buying at least two to three bags of groceries.

I give you my suspicious eyebrow icon to flaunt at her. rar!

I wish my eyebrows could do neat things like that. But they just sit there. Like caterpillars.

I only discovered I could raise one eyebrow when I was about 15. I decided to stand in front of a mirror and mess with my eyebrows until I Got It. And after about two minutes of manipulating my facial muscles, I realised "OH. Apparently I already know how to make this expression - this feels like my Confused/Quizzical Face." I just hadn't realised I already could do that.

the lesson being: it's worth experimenting!

or shaving your eyebrows and getting more interesting eyebrows tattooed on.

I taught myself to raise one eyebrow when I was about 11. Quickly bored with that, I taught myself to raise each independently. Then I moved on to wiggling my ears.

The summers get long when you're an only child. You take entertainment where you can get it. :-)
