Shopping Cart Psychology

Do you return the shopping cart at the grocery store? 

I do. Most of the time.  Whether I do or not is mostly a matter of time on my part. If I'm running late I just leave it close to another cart in the lot. I don't really think it says anything about you if you don't return the cart except maybe you're in a hurry or maybe have young kids or an older family member, or maybe you just don't think about it. Knightley on the other might have an opinion or two. When he was young he would return as many carts to the corral as I would let him. He does have a lot of opinions and doesn't mind sharing them but we'll keep it simple and just not share this blog post with him.

Today I found this fun article detailing what it means about you if you return the carts. I don't think the author has a psychology degree or anything, he's a financial adviser so take it with a grain of salt.  It's all in good fun so if you're surfing the web with nothing else to do and you regularly return carts enjoy reading what that says about you!

What Returning Your Shopping Cart Says About You
Disclaimer: this blog post is a fun look at cart returning. There are obviously exceptions to every rule and you might fall under the grey area. This article is about those that are able to make a choice; to return the cart or not. If physical disabilities or family safety prevents you from returning a cart, then this blog probably doesn't pertain to you.

I'm BACK!!! And a reading challenge

Image
Pic: Flickr creative commons       My blogging class is over (😢) and the class and I will start learning some coding and web development next semester. Some of my students are still blogging a bit and my own daughter has started her own blog so keep checking out the links here for those student blogs.      I took some time off of almost everything that didn't relate to family and work for the last month.  I had a very nice holiday for the Thanksgiving/Christmas break. Our family took a fun trip to the Gatlinburg area (more on that in another blog post!) and enjoyed family and relaxation for the New Year week. Now that I am feeling mostly refreshed on to the next thing. Which is.....      Goals for 2018! I don't really set resolutions. I don't feel like "resolute" really defines the way I tackle any new thing. Although I'd love it to... it's just not the truth. I'm not sure "admirably purposeful" or "unwavering" is re...

Eternity Is In It - A Poem About a Minute

Image
Pic courtesy of Eddi Van W via Flikr I've only just a minute, Only sixty seconds in it. Forced upon me, can't refuse it, Didn't seek it, didn't choose it, But it's up to me to use it. I must suffer if I lose it, Give account if I abuse it, Just a tiny little minute, But eternity is in it. Dr. Benjamin E. Mays This poem was recited by our coach at boot camp today and i thought I would share it here. It's so incredibly interesting how we perceive a minute. This morning, while we were (suppose to be) doing a plank for  a minute it seemed like the longest minute I've encountered all week. But later, while enjoying time with my family, 30 of them went by in a snap! How are you viewing your minutes; all the ones God gave you? Are you wishing some of them away? Wishing you were doing anything but the thing God placed you right in the middle of? When you have those encounters just remember this poem by Dr. Benjamin E. Mays. Eternity is in it.

The Ruby Slipper - A Restuarant Review

Image
There's no place like home.... cooking.  Er, or rather, nothing like home cooking????  The Ruby Slipper Unless it's something you never cook at home like....   Eggs Cochon (Eggs benedict with tender, melt in your mouth apple braised  pork) cooked to perfection with a smooth, creamy hollandaise sauce atop a tender bisucit and just perfect poached egg. All served with a little jazz performance by Mardi Gras Indians.  I got to enjoy this little jewel of a restaurant on it's Grand Opening this week. I had an appointment to give blood for some routine evaluations and made a plan to meet my best friend afterwards. Because....fasting blood work. Enough said.   While in the waiting room of the lab I received a text from Bestie recommending this restaurant for our brunch date. It was close. I was hungry. I said yes.  Truly, I am glad I did. Bestie has some good suggestions. This one was a winner!  I arrived early. Pu...
