"oh did you just move to the neighborhood?"

So as it turns out Seattle is soooo artsy. It's very artsy to be "organic"  I knew this from day one and I thought I could hang.  You know I love writing music, poetry, and occasionally I have been known to cry at artwork or a song that really moves me.  I also take to time to buy produce at a little stand, and have started to support our local dairy and getting my milk from them. That's all kids stuff.  Seattle has taken artsy to a whole new level I can't even come close to hanging.  I have found that you are not "artsy" if you buy a lot of grocery's at one time.  It's true. In my local grocery store they only have a few full sized carts.  They mostly have half little guys that everyone wheels around.  Come to think of it... I might be the only one in the whole store that I have ever seen use a full size cart.  I have gotten a couple of comments while checking out like. "it's nice to get all stocked up hu?"  and "oh did you just move to the neighborhood?"  Last night I got "just stocking up for the week?"  YES I AM because I eat food.  I looked around and noticed the woman behind me had a itty bitty cart with her two kids and in it were 1. rice cakes 2. organic peanut butter 3. Oats!  I am most definitely the odd man out here. Well they can enjoy a yummy dinner of rice cakes and peanut butter, but I'm about to grub. 

I was recently introduced to this very funny show by some ladies in my ward.  The show is a spoof of Portland but I am told Portland and Seattle are very much alike.  This video is so funny to me now because it feels as if this is the direction so many of my conversations are going now days.  ENJOY
