Heed My Words and Take Flight.

I was feeling an extra bit depressed the other day and I had the most random thought that immediately cheered me up. I don't think I've ever had an "instant smile" moment from a thought in my head before. Other people or something have definitely caused that reaction, but I don't think I've ever done it to myself. At least not this randomly.

Anyway, so woe is me, I'm feeling sad and then into my head pops, "The next time you're at the checkout counter and you hear the beep, think of all the fun you can have on...SUPERMARKET SWEEP!"

Seriously, that is all I needed, just that phrase and I was smiling.

Please tell me other people remember Supermarket Sweep. It was one of my absolute favorite things. It probably still would be if it was still on. I used to make Nina play it with me in our grandparent's basement and I totally had a whole plan figured out for how to win the big sweep. Sadly, I could still probably recount it for you. (Meats, diapers, medicine, coffee, paper products, bonus item. They never showed the complete layout of the store so it was hard to decide on the order. Very stressing.)

I guess in a way Supermarket Sweep was like the Nickelodeon toy run, but for housewives and young me. The idea of running (I know, me running!) in a grocery store filling up shopping carts was thrilling.

The next time you are feeling blue, just think of me and Supermarket Sweep and just laugh because I am that much of a dork. (I tried to think of a good rhyme, but everything was too cheesy.)
