The turkey and John Denver Girl

Are you predictable?

Do you do things the same day, the same way, at the same time?

I am. I think I became that was as a young stay-at-home mom trying to find some order and meaning to my day and had a day for everything.

Now I am a still young work outside the home mom, but I am still predictable. I go to the grocery store every Wednesday evening. Why Wednesday? Because I go to the cheapest grocery store around and so does every other young mom trying to save two pennies and every old couple trying to save a few as well. I hate to grocery shop when there are people there. It should just be me. Wednesday nights is pretty empty - ahhhhh! I don't even have to wait at the deli. As a matter of fact, Robert, the deli guy has come to know my turkey order. I always get 1 1/4 pound of sundried tomato turkey - yummy! Often times, they have to go in back to open a new one. But, Robert has taken it upon himself to always have it ready for me. So nice. I keep meaning to bake him cookies, but I forget. I will though, I promise.

Sometimes when I grocery shop I wear my ipod. Last week I did and I was listening to it as I was talking to Robert (I know it is rude, but I had one bud out of my ear and could hear fine). He asked what I was listening to and I said John Denver. He laughed and said "I didn't know those things could play that." (He is an older gentelmen).

This week, my turkey was ready and his co-worker asked where the John Denver was, LOL.

So, yes, I am predictable. I could go into a million ways, but that one will do it for now because it is 10 pm and almost my bedtime.
