I just walked the .5 mile walk from the grocery store to home in head-on 23 mph winds carrying a 37 lb backpack full of groceries and a combined 14 lbs in my hands. That's 51 lbs, folks.

(Alternately: .8 km walk, 37 kph winds, <17 kg backpack, >6 kg sacks, 23 kg total.)

Probably not at all impressive to anyone who's done backpacking/camping seriously, but it's impressive for me. Especially since I took the time to step on the scale (3 different times!) when I got home instead of dropping everything immediately.

I need a backrub. I'm making do with the last Dr. Pepper. It's an event to remember, actually. I don't generally buy soda for myself and Dr. Pepper is hard to find in stores around here, so I don't know when I'll have my next one. *savors the moment*

...and it's gone. Goodbye, sweet Dr. Pepper.

I really crave Chinese for lunch, but I just spent $85 on groceries...

I really shouldn't mention the cube of Dr. P on the kitchen cabinet but then again, it's too late now isn't it? And 50.6 pounds of weight, unevenly carried (since some was in your hands) is pretty impressive. Especially with bad weather. Feel proud.

Yay! I do feel proud, especially now that you've added your knowledge. Whee...
