Here is the number one reason why I am still not a grown-up.
Yesterday, I went into the grocery store without a list, and I came out with a pack of dinosaurs and a suction-cup dart gun.
I also got groceries, but seriously. I may end up giving the dart gun to my sister for her birthday because, for real, what am I going to do with a dart gun, but it looked like fun at the time. They had a big bin of clearance stuff, and I also almost purchased a light up plastic "sword," which was really just a mini tube of plastic. It was quite exciting.
On the whole, my trip to the grocery store was more expensive than usual because I was jones-ing for many things, including salad and, apparently, a giant jar of Salsa Lisa salsa. And cheese. And plastic dinosaurs even though I already have a plethora of lizards on my computer at work. It's all very interesting to me.
Well, take care. I hope you also get to spend four dollars on frivolous things.

On the other hand I watched Poisiden last night (actually I watched the very beginning of it) and they were hit by a rogue wave, which made me laugh! There are rogue waves just roaming the high seas - I know it!!
