remember to take those darn bags with me into the store! In fact, I have been taking my groceries to the car with NO bags just to avoid the "told-you-so" (my head telling me so) guilt. I carried one into school with J's snack the other day and his super cool teacher was so impressed. I had to confess that the groceries had been taken out of the store in nothing but the cart and then transferred once I was at the car. That gave her the freedom to tell me that she bought 8 at Christmas time and hasn't used them yet. She's so great!

Lagniappe [lan YUP].
means
