Her Shopping Habits

You can tell a lot from the way someone shops, it's not in what you pick but the way.

Some people move purposefully along the aisles. Some just pick whatever catches their eyes. Some never read the stickers. Some spend a good while staring at them. Some switch their choices a good number of times. Some never turn back once they've made a choice. Some people organize everything in their carts. Some just create a mountain of junk.

She just drops them in her cart, kind of releases them in the air, thinking it will hit the bottom of the cart anyhow! She acts like she's purposeful while she really is not. She goes zig zags, just by the moment. She stares at cheese selection indefinitely. When she is done she always thinks she is missing something, like she is not done. She always holds the cashier and the line for the last temptation like a bar of dark chocolate or something or a new fragrance body shower gel! She is always debating between what she craves and what's good for her, picking something holding it tight then all of a sudden letting go of it. She touches her bottles of wine sensitively and is always looking for something new. When she is planning to make some fajita she can easily get out of the store with all the essential ingredients for fettucine alfredo! When someone bumps his/her cart into hers and says, oh my god I'm sorry, she goes: It's ok, I have insurance! She sometimes thinks her shopping is small, gets a hand basket or nothing but always ends up hugging one million things stumbling to the cashier or putting everything down, going looking for a cart! When she is unloading the heavy stuff into her trunk, she sometimes wonders why she didn't get herself a man to do this for her! like those big watermelons that she loves and big bundles of bottled water, like those 72-pack ones! but it's just then and when she sees a spider, the rest of the time she is happy and independent!

now, how do you shop?
