Yep, just another day in the life.... which makes me think of a funny event that happened yesterday afternoon.

I headed into the grocery store while the girls were in their RE classes. Oddly enough, I keep getting in the shortest line with the same checker from week to week. He is a big guy and smiled at me with a sort of puzzled expression.

He commented, "Hey, didn't we just do this?"

I smiled back and said, "Yep, we do this together every Tuesday afternoon! How's your day going?"

He sighed and as he was scanning my stuff commented, "Well, it's just another day here in King Soopers paradise. Here I am, living the dream."

I swear to God I burst out laughing--enough for the entire checking area to turn and look at me. This big guy is really funny and self-deprecating and he hits my funny bone every week.

Now that he made me realize that I keep getting in his line, I'm going to have to seek him out and remind him that we're both "living the dream." AS IF!
