Trisha and I went grocery shopping yesterday.
I've come to a conclusion. We are different shoppers.
When I go to the store...I buy a lot...and by a lot, I mean if I don't come out of there with a 3 digit bill, then I will fill like a failure. But it lasts me for a month...sometimes 2.
When Trisha goes to the store...She buys a little...and by a little, I mean if she can't carry her groceries in her hands in one trip, then she's splurged. That lasts her a week...maybe 2.
Our worlds collided yesterday when we walked through the bakery.

Our worlds collided yesterday when we walked through the bakery.
I spotted my favorite...a fresh baked store brand pecan pie. 
I began to evaluate the pros and cons (aka. "counting the cost" in Christian world).
A few aisles* over, the end display had an Edwards' Pecan Pie mocking me on eye level.
So I stopped and stared...Trisha just laughed as she pulled me away to continue shopping.
On our way to checkout, there was a center display with those little bite sized pecan pienuggets tarts. I took that as a sign from God that we were meant to be together and I tried to nonchalantly put them in our basket...but to no avail. Trisha informed me that Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I should wait until then when I can eat all I want.

So, all that to say this:
Pecan Pie, I'm putting you on notice. Your uppance will come...Soon.
* I seriously spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out if aisle is spelled right, how to pluralize it, and ultimate making phonetic noises trying to say it...what an awkward word.
