If you will allow me any of my own wants, emotions, beliefs or actions, then you open yourself, so that some day these ways of mine might not seem so wrong. To put up with me is the first step to understanding me. Not that you embrace my ways as right for you, but that you are no longer irritated or disappointed with me for my seeming waywardness. -from the introduction of "Please Understand Me"

You should visit me at Kroger, because famous celebrities shop here

~Kids say the cutest things

Famous movie and television stars shop at my kroger. its true. yesterday, i had three celebrity look a likes come through my lane. First was Shooter from Secret Winder. Okay, his was more just a faint resemblance, but the hat made it perfect. Second was a guy i've had before, who i swear looks just like inspector gadget, before he had any gadgets. third was a guy who looked like house, from one of my favorite television shows, house. if you're looking for famous athletes, though, i've been informed the place to go is walmart- especially football stars. these even include the likes of...that one guy, who was a bengal then became a patriot...yah, him.

I also had a sweet kid come through my line near the end of my shift yesterday. She was about eight, i think, and by then most kids (at least the ones in my lines) have outgrown their cute inquisitiveness and pretty much ignore the cashier, preferring to give their whole attention to the candy. she was different. the very first thing she said to me was "you're purdy" just like that. then she noted my braces, and asked if i had to wear them forever. she asked a bunch of other questions, too, which from other kids might have been annoying, but with her was cute. then she told me i was pretty again, and i said she was pretty too. and she was, she had the long ringlets and a little cowgirl outfit going on. she said she wasn't, and i said 'yes you are', then she told me i was 'pretty the mostest'. she was so cute. she just made me smile. aaaaaaand......thats it.


Don't frown- you never know who's falling in love with your smile.

Sometimes I find myself skipping the actual guts of the post so I can view that ending quote, which usually adds a smile to the canvas that is my face.
