growth! and other things

Well, interesting things today. Two at least. The first being something that actually happened Saturday, and today.
Yes, I'm writing in an unusually cryptic and brief style. Deal with it.
On Saturday the Fruit Bat and I bought some clothes (just a jacket thing- it was cute and on sale) the lady rung them up, we paid, put on the jackets and then we went to Wal-mart to pick up some batteries.
On the way into the store, the little thief-detector alarm whatsist went off. No biggie- there was someone exiting as we entered so we didn't much care.
Then it went off again as we left. The worker checked our reciept and purchase (yes, they matched.) and waved us on. While I was curious as to why this happened, I disregarded it as unimportant.

Today I decided to wear the jacket and found that honking big plastic doomahickey still attached. So I was walking around yesterday with that on my back...
Fortunately for me, it was the kind with a microchip and not ink inside- so it didn't 'splode when I got it off. It annoys me though- I could have been stopped for shoplifting something that I paid for, just because the salesclerk was so busy upselling FruitBat that she forgot to remove the tag!
The second thing is much happier- I have a sprout! It wasn't there this morning, but I checked just a minute ago, and there is a little green delicate wonder poking its head up out of the soil! (Cries tears of joy!)
Now I just have to keep it alive, the dear little thing... (goes to talk to plant)
