The Very Reason This Category Exists: Leftovers

(In case you missed parts 1, 2 and 3)

Alright, let's wrap this baby up with some odds and ends...

At the grocery store I found the crackers I was looking for, however there was only *one* box on the shelf and it wasn't the flavor that we had at the party.  Also, the flavor didn't even match the description on the shelf tag.

So I ask customer service if they have any more in the back.  They shrug and tell me that it's a bakery item.  The bakery shrugs and tells me it's a deli item.  The deli manager shrugs but while shrugging tells me that 1) they are in fact a deli item, 2) he's never seen them before this moment in time, and 3) he somehow knows for a fact that there are no more.  Whatever.

As far as the cupcakes go, I had specific instructions: yellow cake with chocolate frosting.  These are the ones we got six days previous and apparently they were memorable enough to warrant another purchase.  And a purchase I would have made, had any of the three grocery stores made another batch of these evidently delicious cuppycakes.  But no, all they had were "Spider Man 3 Cupcakes" which were something like chocolate cake with rainbow colored frosting with a giant plastic "3" stuck in them.  These would not do.

During all these store visits I also ran in a drug store on a whim.  While I'm not surprised that I didn't find what I was looking for, I did notice something interesting.  Walking down one of the aisles I see that antacids like Pepcid are now under lock and key.  Pretty much half of all "over the counter" drugs in this store were now either locked up or behind the counter.  The hell?

At the last grocery store, I finally found the crackers.  They had six boxes on the shelf, and I bought all six.  So there.  There's your happy ending.

Okay, that's all.  I can talk about this no more.  Lessons learned:

* The much sought out crackers can be purchased online, direct from the manufacturer, at a much cheaper price.
* Massages are not always given by hot Asian ladies (but they should be).
* Girlfriends deserve massages.  And cupcakes.
* Never try to think up clever synonyms for "girlfriend".
* Videos are easier to post.
