Necessary Loads

1 2-Liter bottle of Barq's root beer.
1 Small loaf of Asiago Demi Bread.
1 6-pack of IBC cream soda
1 pint of Haggen Daz ginger ice cream
6 bananas
3 organic romaine lettuce hearts
1 Family size box of Cap'n Crunch
1 gallon of Milk


These are the items that survived the great debit card slip up of 2010. There was $17.32 in my wallet while checking out at the Target Supercenter this evening, with a bill that was to total 23.42.


I forgot my debit card.


I go shopping when I'm hungry, never getting anything of substance... 


What did I have to take back?


1 apple and cranberry pie
1 bag of Baked Lay's original potato chips


Both things I really wanted, but I thought they were the least sensible items to keep, and needing to keep up appearances with the thirty something checker, mother of three, trying to keep a decent lifestyle by working part-time in the evenings at the local Target, I of course had to throw those out.

I didn't eat any of the surviving items when I returned home.


I could go for a piece of apple cranberry pie right now. Topped with vanilla ice cream.
