Coffee Table Declarations

I'd like to speak for a moment about CVS. I think it's very convenient that CVS is a perfectly legitimate place to get prescriptions filled, but also an ideal place for purchasing say, a magazine, a beauty product, or a last minute gift. They even have groceries there, although I can't imagine that anyone does their entire weekly grocery shopping at CVS. Unless of course they subsist on canned soup, sugery fruit juice, and Ben & Jerry's ice cream.

I was browsing through the wide selection of cards at CVS one day last week and noticed that they most certainly do have a card for every occasion. Never before had I seen a card that read, "I was sorry to hear about your unfortunate accident. Hope your recovery is smooth" or something like that. Personally, I found that card to be a little grim and rather specific. I was just waiting to find one that said "I was sorry to hear about your troublesome mishap involving an electric razor."

O.K. so, last night I was right in the middle of making one of my fabulous gourmet recipes when I realized I was lacking two key ingredients. (You can't very well make macaroni & cheese without milk and butter.) Fortunately, I live within walking distance of a CVS. So, seeing as it was about 35 degrees outside and raining, I bundled up and headed out into the night. Much to my dismay, I arrived at CVS only to find them already closed at the early hour of 8:15! Since I was already cold and wet and by this time, quite hungry, I headed back past my apartment and got into the car for the short drive to Store 24, a place I can count on to always be open when I need it to be.

The mac & cheese turned out fine but I'm a little disappointed in CVS. Maybe someone will get me a card that says "I was sorry to hear about your ill-fated trip through the rainy night to a prematurely closed CVS."
 
Welcome to the coffee table of my mind.
