7and8

The unreality of vacation was forcibly stripped away when I had to go grocery shopping yesterday. 7and8 are in school so I pampered myself by shopping with my iPod.
I've had the iPod at the grocery a number of times but this time in particular I was getting the stink eye from the little old ladies.
BTW my Mother-in-law is not a little old lady! Rather, a spry, witty septuagenarian.

I was getting looks from all of them as if I was doing something wrong. The produce lady laughed while I danced my apples into their bag. The frozen food guy ask who I was listening to, etc. Now I didn't limbo under the deli number dispenser or anything but there was definitely more rhythm to my shopping than without a soundtrack.
Grandmas didn't handle it well. In any shopping trip there will be the "oh, excuse me" surprise meeting as a turn is rounded but when Mrs. Bader-Ginsburg saw I had buds in my ears I was to blame for the whole thing.

Lighten up ladies, there is an entire health care industry you should save your energy for hating.
