on the other hand, good things:

1.  I have completed my yuletide signup.  It gets harder every year - harder to decide what to request, is what.  That's very difficult for me!  There are very few things I'm just yearning for someone to write -- one of which is the As You Like It Touchstone/Jacques I keep requesting.  Someday I'll get it.  :-)

2.  Oh, oh, oh, in sixteen days there will be a grocery store at the bottom of my hill.  My excitement over this fact cannot be textually rendered.  (It can't even really be verbally rendered, as I demonstrated to cmshaw last night.)  Not just a corner store, mind you.  A brand-new 24-hour Harris Teeter.  And it's there!  It's been "coming soon" for so long, and now it's really there, with signs and shelves and freezers and everything.  cmshaw and I spent some time peering through the windows playing Guess the Dry Goods.  OH.  The only thing that could make this even better would be if the pharmacy were also open 24 hours.  Ah, well, a girl can dream.

if you don't get touchstone/jacques this year through yuletide, I'll write it for you later this year.

I'm not picky - I don't mind how it gets here. :-)

Harris Teeter is a pretty decent store, albeit a little on the pricey side.

Heads and shoulders above Giant, Safeway, or Food Lion, but not as good as Wegmans. I don't think they have the latter anywhere near where you live.

Yeah, the closest Wegmans is way out by the Mini dealership in Sterling.

I <3 Harris Teeter...fell in love with it when I lived in NC. Wish there was one in Silver Spring. Ain't driving to Germantown for HT or Sterling for Wegmans. :(
