Dilly Dallying in Diebergs

Lastnight, I drove down the road to Dierbergs to see what items might be on sale as well as stock up on some other things. I parked up close (though it would have done me good to park further away & walk) & as I was entering in, ran into one of my favorite members at my work. A young man (he's 20 or so) named Adam. Adam is a fellow believer with aspirations of making it in the show business. Last year, he entered into a modeling contest sponsored by different television people, etc. from L.A. Though he did well, he did not win the contest. So, Adam remains here & each time he comes into my work, we joke about how well he'll treat us all when he's rich & famous. It would figure that the one day I barely dried my hair & I put no make-up on & look like a slum, that would be the day I'd run into someone I know. I never see people I know! After chatting with Adam momentarily, I went inside & was pleased to find baby carrots on sale as well as lunch meat (ham & turkey) & some frozen dinner (Healthy Choice & Lean Cuisine). I stocked up on some of those meals, on the carrots, bought some lettuce for salads, cucumbers for snacks, some Low-fat Triscuits & was good to go. I don't know, maybe you or like me, maybe not. As I approached the front of the store, I looked to see the cashiers' faces. I found a familiar face (lady that's worked for Dierbergs for MANY years) & raced to her line. I returned home with some healthier choices for eating & am proud to have stayed away from other areas of the store which would not benefit me (ice cream, cookies). My spur of the moment decision to go to Dierbergs without even a list in my hand could have been disastrous for me but it was not. Thank you God.
