Too many familiar faces

Am I the only one making late night runs to Walgreens? I love Walgreens for many reasons. But, last night I had to have some candy hearts. I was disappointed in my last two bags of hearts because they were rock hard. My kids will eat them this way and Kat prefers them like that, but I just love a soft, sweet heart. Well, I found out last night I am not the only one who makes a late night run to Walgreens. As I took my single bag of Necco candy hearts to the check out, Sydney Nording walks up to be my cashier. At this point I am ok. I don't mind if Sydney knows I had to run to Walgreens to get my candy fix. I pull my money out of my pocket and realize I didn't bring enough into the store. I tell her I have the rest in the car, I'll be right back. As I am turning to walk out, in walks Carol Nixon. A conversation starts about her needing some starch and then she realizes I don't have enough money to buy my hearts. She plops down a dollar and buys my hearts for me. I tell her thanks so much, but she can't know how grateful I am to be holding a bag of fresh, soft, sweet hearts. I guess there can be some perks to seeing a familiar face or two.

So were they soft when you got home? Have you figured out how to check if they're soft before you get them home? btw, the soft hearts are yucky - go hardies!!!

That's the best. Jefferson just asked, "Is that Casey's family? I want to see!" And yes, it's after 11 and he's still up and I'm blogging. Something's wrong here. See you tomorrow. Enjoy your hearts.

You are so funny. I have definitely made some late night emergency chocolate runs! Sometimes I just make up a reason to stop at Walgreens, just because.
