Just returned from a charming weekend cabin excursion with boyfriend and company.
Leaving for home in the morning.
So much traveling.

"What was the last thing you returned to a store?"
-- Again, can't recall, seeing as how I rarely return things. And even if I do make a mistake, like buying a shirt that's a size too small, I'll create a workaround in my mind, tricking myself into justifying the purchase ("...hm... I guess I'll only wear it to bed...").

"Have you ever returned a meal to a restaurant kitchen?  What did you order?"
--What?! No? People do that!? Why?
FYI: I'm a big, fat fucking pig. My stomach is a black hole. Besides, I'm not big on confrontation, especially in a store/restaurant setting.
The only thing that sticks out in my mind is when my family and I went out to Olive Garden and I ordered a soup. When the soup finally came, I noticed it had a sticker in it, y'know, like the stickers that are commonly on different kinds of produce? It didn't really bother me but I think my dad noticed it and asked the waiter for another bowl of soup for me.
The waiter apologized and complied, taking my bowl and bringing me another. About halfway into it, I notice this new bowl of soup also has a produce sticker in it (it's debatable whether or not this was actually a different bowl). Again, we ask for another bowl of soup and the waiter, who was very apologetic once more, rushed back to the kitchen.
Third time's the charm, right?
Nope.
Lo and behold, another sticker in my soup. I kept it to myself this time. Y'know, enjoyed my soup.
And ate around the sticker.
Ate around it so that it was the only thing left in the bowl.
The waiter came back to check on us and appeared dumbfounded when he spotted the sticker sitting ever so neatly in the center of the bowl I cleaned.
After more apologies, the manager came over and our meal was free that night.

But as I said before, I'm flying back home in the morning and intend to bring my good 'ol laptop to blog on the way. While I haven't exactly been up to speed with the day-by-day posting, I'll say that I've blogged more this month than any other month before.
How this will help with NaNoWriMo around the bend eludes me, but I'm still looking forward to tackling it this year.
