My Future Self

So, I made my grocery run to Wal-Mart today. They did not have caskets, by the way. From this trip, I'd like to leave myself a note for when I become old and gray.

Please stay agile all through the years. If this is an impossible task, I do not fault you. However, everyone else will and if you don't want to get run over with carts, do it!

While I understand that as you age, your body does not function like it used to in many ways. Not only do I sympathize with that, but I've already felt those effects. But it is insanely frustrating to navigate through aisles barely meant for two carts to fit through and then come to a stand still because the aisle slows to turtle speed. Actually, turtles may just be offended by that.

If you are unable to move quickly, at least try to pay attention.

On top of that, I dislike running into people that I went to high school with.

when you are old you can fake senility and push straight to the front of the line at the checkout. (not much use if you actually are senile and are buying stuff you dont need).

do you think they sell caskets at Walmart just in case those in mention drop dead in the aisle... by the time the family members arrive to identify them they can already have them packaged and prepared to go... one stop shopping... i think you can even pick up flowers for the grave on your way out...

The blogger formally known as bulldog: You have given me something to look forward to in my older years. Or maybe I can try it out now.

Holly Ann: Love it! You're on to something. It's in the future, I know it.

Kate: I'm glad someone shares my misery.

Hi! Thanks for the follow! If I had more lady balls, I would tell the 'big kids' to buy their own candy, but I'm afraid they'll egg my house.

LOVE that your Barbies had sex. So did mine! And my Ken doll was a huge pimp. He would have parties and invite all the girls over and have his way with all of them while the others were oblivious in the kitchen. I may have missed my calling to write porn screenplay.

Mox: I am with you 100% on that! Then again, there's so many things I would do if there were no consequences.

On top of that, I adore you. I can't say I've met anyone else who had the same barbie activities. Or maybe I have, yet no one has the balls to admit it.
