Day 18: Lists are for Losers

I have many compulsive tendencies, unfortunately remembering what groceries/toiletries I need is not one of them. And so this is how I find myself wandering around those really cheap mega stores that are a giant conglomeration across this nation - for an hour or more every other week. Lists are for losers who can't remember the insides of their own fridge - I am better than that! I got this!

These are my sentiments, until I find myself moments later aimlessly going up and down aisles with more toothpaste because I have forgotten how fat the tube was at home, clutching more milk when the carton at home probably has another 2 weeks left. And worst of all - collecting useless things that seem like they would make an amazing improvement in my life, and everything would start falling into place because, I now have that one thing that I never knew existed until now; but will surely organize my life into some sort of zen haven.

And this is how I end up lugging a number of heavy bags of groceries on one arm while clutching a giant plastic organizing contraption under the other, up 3 flights of stairs; I know if I just focus hard enough, I will not crush all the bread against my side and there is no need to make 2 trips to the car.
