should I send out the search and rescue?

It’s after midnight, and I can’t seem to locate my wife.  She left the house a few hours ago with Lilly in tow (no school tomorrow) to head to the grocery store.  We need groceries, but I was unaware that it would require several hours to acquire all the goods that this household will consume.  I expected a short trip.  As far as I know, Kim was only after the essentials: eggs, meat, cheese, coffee, and ice cream.  What could be taking so long?

Maybe the Christmas lines are long at the grocery store.

I am not much of a shopper.  I avoid the mall like…well, let’s just say that I avoid the mall.  I know that there are those of you who love to walk around and look at everything, do your window shopping or whatever.  I’m more of a “get in, get out” kind of guy.  Unless there’s a sporting goods section.  Even when I don’t need anything in the sporting goods section of Wal-Mart, I have to walk through the aisle.  There might be a sale on camo hats or knives or those little hand warmer things.  You can never have too many hand warmer things.  Or knives.  Or flashlights.

But I digress.

I would imagine that Kim and Lilly could lose track of time if they were in NYC on some fashion spending spree (that’s not gonna happen), but the grocery store?  I haven’t heard any choppers flying overhead.  I hope that a giant sinkhole didn’t open in the parking lot…
