No, I didn't win money - I found toilet paper!!!
It's just a four-roll package, which doesn't sound like much, but it's the first that I've seen in any store for almost two months.
It wasn't a store I had yet hit and I had very nearly passed it by, being a small CVS near the Sonic on Montgomery Cross Road.
The paper goods shelf had been bare, so I was about to leave the aisle and leave the store...
and there it was, sitting on top of a small box...
and I had grabbed it up like it was a long-lost lover!
I went ahead and bought more things, too, like cereal (which I eat like popcorn)...
and popcorn (which I will also eat like it's popcorn),
and Dove's dark chocolate Promises...
the real ones, not those Easter minis with the sea-salt caramel.
There was not enough dark chocolate in those.
However, I had enjoyed their little fortune-cookie-esque sayings on the wrappers.
The foils had been bright pastels of turquoise, purple, and gold, with spring-themed words of wisdom.
Sure, some of them were pretty corny, some were oft-said, but some were pretty hopeful for a chick that's been in quarantine mode, sheltering in place for a month now.
These are all of the ones in the two packages I had.
Cherish the blossoms.
Take time to smell the flowers.
Spring is a promise of new hope.
Embrace optimism.
Hug the sunlight.
Let life bloom.
Be happy, be you.
Embrace new beginnings.
Feel the sunshine.
Flourish this spring.
Spring into spring.
April showers bring May flowers.
Okay, I'm going back to finish watching "Eurotrip".
I'd foregone it several times, but it keeps drawing me in with its promises (get the little joke?) of scenes of Europe, to allow me some vicarious travel.
I'm not expecting much else from this 2004 flick...
maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised!
Hope springs eternal!
(I couldn't resist such an easy pun!)
(smile!)
