I don’t know what it is with me and the grocery store but for some reason, the cashiers are either obnoxious or dumb or my kids act like zoo animals and really should be tied up or I make an ass out of myself. Let’s go with the latter.
I had to pick up a couple of things so I headed on over to the grocery store, with the intention of getting a handful of items, not really planning to make a complete and utter moron of myself. As I’m in the produce section, I look up from choosing just the right bag of radish and low and behold, Brad freakin’ Pitt is standing there. Okay, so it wasn’t really Brad Pitt but man oh man, it sure looked like him. I was all googly eyed and flustered, like he was paying attention to me. I grabbed whatever the hell bag of radish was closest and decided to follow Mr P. I’m sure I looked like a dweeb or desperate. I noticed others staring at this guy too. So I’m not the only retarded housewife chick checking this speciman out.
I lost Mr P somewhere between the bread and the frozen goods. Damn. I decided to just forget about him and get back to the chore at hand. I’m browsing down an aisle, seeing if there’s some new flavour of salad dressing available and I look up and there he is again. I let go of my cart and pick up a jar of pickles, ’cause that’s hot and make eye contact with him. He smiles at me. He walks past and I decided mama is gonna take a second look and that was a really bad idea. As I’m slowly walking ahead, my neck and head slightly turned to look at BP man speciman, I don’t notice the big fucking metal pole/support beam thing that is looming in my immediate future. As I’m smiling, looking at Mr P and he rounds the corner, I turn to look ahead and I make contact with said big fucking metal pole. With. my. forehead. The aisle was not empty. I’m pretty sure I see stars and not just ones that look like Brad Pitt. An older lady asks me if I’m okay. Sure, sure. I’m fine, I stutter. I quickly go back to my cart and ditch the pickle jar and walk away with my big, giant sack of humilation.
As I’m regaining abso-freakin-lutely no sense of sanity at all some sense of sanity again, I decided I wasn’t quite done with being an ass apparently and head on over to the women’s clothing section, because that’s where BP lookalikes browse. I’m scanning the racks of pants and shirts, my head swivelling from side to side to get just one more glance at this guy because I’m obviously not on enough fucking medication not on medication and want to be greedy and just get that last look. I’m pushing the cart, looking, searching, scanning, then, BAM! I turn straight ahead to see what I’ve bumped into. Please, please let it be a clothing rack. Standing on 2 legs. Wearing jeans. Looking hot. Oh.My.God. I’ve just ran into Brad Pitt’s legs. He turns around and smiles and I turn redder than the walls in the hubs of hell and am asking if the devil himself could come snatch me for the day because it would be less uncomfortable than this moment.
BP man looks at me with frightened eyes sympathy and asks if I’m okay? No. Clearly I’m insane and you must see it, along with my giant black/brown/purple/red/blue bruise on my forehead. I open my mouth to apologize and some kind of squeak came out, can’t say for certain if it was an intelligible ‘I’m so sorry’ or not but at that point, I honestly didn’t care. I just wanted to run for the pharmacy to get lots of medication hills and go drown my embarrassment in a big ass bottle of booze milk.
I think I might hire a personal shopper for getting my groceries. Oh wait, I’m not rich. Damn. Damn. Damn. If you look below, you’ll see a lovely picture of my head. My husband took my camera today but lucky for you, I have a cell phone that captures pictures. Fan-freakin-tastic. And how was your day?

Heeeee…I vote for wearing a helmet. I hear they have add-on drool cups now, too. And they come in fashion colors. You could get one to match the bruise on your head. ha!

I was pmsl until I saw the bruise. Shit a brick, it looks bad!

It was worse looking in the pic, I think first because my cell phone is not that great of a camera..lol AND it had just happened and it was red and ugly. The bump is gone and the bruise is still there but it’s not as nasty looking. I bruise extremely easy but on the bright side, I heal very quickly too. My family still laughs at me, every time they see my head. Gosh, they’re loving.

I don’t see why you need a camera as there should be camera crews following you around filming this sitcom you call a life.
