“Grocery stores always give me a bag when I don‘t need one, when I‘ve bought just a pack of gum or a banana or some potato chips that are in a bag already, and then I feel guilty about their wasting the plastic, but the bag is on before I‘ve noticed them reaching for it so I don‘t say anything.”

Congrats to @GondorGirl on reaching 10k. Truly awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

#GG10k

GondorGirl I relate so much to this opening line! 7y

mangokittty @GondorGirl me too! It especially gets me because I worked at a grocery store when I was 18. Bagging is the worst you‘re supposed to be fast and hope they don‘t say paper. I‘m beyond thankful for self checkouts. 7y

I just finished watching this on Netflix, and now need to read the book again - I loved it when I first read it 8 years ago, and the movie was so cute. Let be the actress they picked for her and this cartoonishly big-eyed movie poster.

Eyelit Good to know it's on Netflix - thanks for the heads up. The book has been on my radar for a while and I'll more than likely have time to watch it before I get a chance to read. 😁 7y

mcipher @Eyelit Its fun to do it "backwards" sometimes,, too! ? 7y

Eyelit True. I usually dislike doing it that way, but I do have limited time on this planet and sometimes (usually with YA) I use movies as cliffs notes... and to help me determine if I want the (more than likely) superior source material 😄 7y

mcipher @Eyelit I read this one before it was considered YA and it stood up for me as an adult book. I'm not always a good YA reader. 7y

Purrfectpages I feel like I read this years ago too, but can't remember! 7y

mcipher @Purrfectpages I hate when that happens! 7y

Reading on the kindle because I don't have power. We got back home today. No damage, just no power. Hope it comes back on soon, cause I have a lot of homework due Monday.

LauraBrook Glad it's just power and not a lot of other damage, and that you're safe! 7y

Lmstraubie Hope your power is back! 7y
