I went to the grocery store and spent $252.68 and my fridge is empty? I wondered how that was possible, so I sat down to dissect my receipt -- and then noticed that the pound of Boar's Head ham must have stayed behind on the deli counter. How maddening. So I have a list as long as Santa's and no food, so to speak, to show for it...

Now not only is my fridge still half empty, but now that I have scrutinized this list, I realize I can not decipher the majority of it... and the only truly legible thig appears at the very end... I know Don will question the necessity of the Blue's Clues video and the magazines!
