The Lady at the Market
On a lighter, happier note, I just wanted to mention this charming lady who works at Kroger's (off of E. Stadium Ave). For some reason i began talking to her back in the Fall, and now i go to her checkout lane every time i see her. She's probably in her early 40's, and apparently has no kids. But she smiles a motherly smile every time she sees me, and likes hearing about my college stories; she can tell when i'm especially busy because i don't get to shop for food as often. I felt sort of sad telling her she wouldn't see me over the summer because i'd be away for my internship in NYC, but she congratulated me and said how exciting that sounded, which made me happier. I told her i'd be back in August, to start my 2nd year of grad school.
It's amazing how someone you hardly know or rarely see can so easily bring a smile to your face.

Do we get Crazy, PA this month? Crazy NYC for the rest of the summer?

Yeah, you need to either make a new blog, or change your colors for the time being, or something because we are not going to tolerate you not blogging. In fact, we will both personally go to NYC, find you and drag you BACK to A2 to observe some weird things if you don't change your blog. At least I will, I think.

:) -- maybe i will not blog just to see you both come to NYC to get me...
But yes, i've been trying to decide whether to rename my blog so it can cover multiple topics, or just switch topics as appropriate... or make a new section (altho i'd rather have just one site/one page). In any case, there will be Crazy NYC, b/c i can't think of how i would not be running into absolute craziness every single day. Final decision to come soon... (i'm leaning toward a title change)

How about Crazy MaTT's House of Craziness Crazy Crazy? Crazy.

I vote for that!

I liked it when your comments were up at the top because - heck - that's what I come for, most of the time.

Yeah, me too -- i think i just needed another vote to change it... :)
