You've Won a New Bed!!!!

Monday, August 4;

I guess it's a sign that I've been very religious about my diet?? Maybe, it's a sign that I spend too much money on food?? Maybe it just shows that I'm incredibly regimented?? Loyal?? I am not quiet sure what to make of it.. maybe you all can help me shift this little story out.

Last night I stopped by the grocery store after getting back from out of town. I needed to buy my usuals (string cheese, blueberries, grapes, strawberries, apples, cottage cheese, chicken, half & half, coffee...). I made the shopping trip pretty quick and then got into line. I had no idea what was getting ready to happen.

The lady rings me up. As usual I've spent more money than I'd like to, but I justify it because I eat a lot of food. That's okay, right? The lady tells me the total and then she looks at me like I've just won the lottery. In a really thick accent she says, "CONGRATULATIONS, You've just won a bed!!!"

I was a little tired, so I had no idea what she was talking about. I thought she was saying that I'd won a bag, like one of those environmentally friendly bags so I don't have to use plastic bags to carry my groceries. I said thank you, and then she pointed me over to the Customer Service desk. The manager on duty, who was reminding me of Bob Barker and the Price is Right. He looks at me with this big goofy smile and says, "CONGRATULATIONS, You've just won a bed!!!" I understood his accent, so I asked for some clarification. He explained that I had spent over $40 every week for the past 16 WEEKS. My prize was a huge aero bed like the one below.


It is now sitting in a box in my trunk, and I will bring it inside when I get a chance. I may actually sell it and get back some of the money I've spent at Harris Teeter over the past 4 months.
Oh God!

I wish I had known about this little aero bed thing they had going on! $40 is nothing at the grocery store and, of course, Crossfitters go at a minimum of once a week. Usually more often...

At least any guests will be comfy on your new aero bed :)

As an aside, I'm totally jealous that you won a bed. The only thing I ever get in the checkout line is my receipt and the ocassional coupon. :P
