So, I go to Whole Foods today like I do every Monday to grocery shop.  I usually have the kids with me, but I didn’t feel like shlepping both kids and groceries in the rain, so I went before I picked them up from school.  Grocery stores can be very zen-like if you have the time and in the right mood.  I was enjoying my time in Whole Foods, talking to the employees, listening to the music (they are always grooving in that Whole Foods) and contemplating the many food choices.  Not a roaring good time, but relaxing….until I came to the dairy aisle.  

Let me say right here that I HATE milk; I always have since I was a little kid.  I hate the smell of it, the look of it and I would never ever drink it even if it was the last beverage on earth and I was dying of thirst.    I only handle a carton of milk as a service to my family because I’m self-less like that.

All that to say that I have a phobia about milk, so I am very careful when I select milk from the grocery store because sometimes there is spilled milk on the bottom of the carton and that just won’t do at all.  Uh-uh, nope.  I usually buy Whole Foods 365 brand organic milk because it is $3.19 whereas Organic Valley is $4.69; that is a huge price difference.   

$4.69

However, when I picked up the 365 milk today there was milk dripping from the bottom; it almost got on my Uggs and I jumped back about five feet.  I quickly grabbed the Organic Valley milk, checked the bottom and got out of the dairy case before I hurled.  My husband calls me quirky; perhaps this is the kind of thing he is referring to?

The rest of my grocery shopping experience is milk-free.  Next I go to Border’s.  I don’t really need anything in there; I just have to use the bathroom and the one in Whole Foods skeeves me out.  I walk around to act like I’m buying something and come upon this book:

Armed in America: Portraits of Gun Owners in Their Homes by Kyle Cassidy

It kind of freaked me out too.  Not as bad as the milk, but close.
