Cakewalk

Aaron and I were at Safeway last weekend getting our groceries (as one does). We were wandering past the frozen food aisle and I was thinking about whether or not we needed bread, when an announcement came over the intercom. "Good Afternoon, Safeway shoppers. We have a special going on every half hour in the bakery today. This half hour we're doing a cakewalk, so find a number on the floor and stand by it and we'll announce the winning number in a few minutes!"

Aaron and I looked at each other, then looked at the floor for numbers and scattered. I sprinted over to stand on the "three" in the wine aisle and Aaron disappeared to look for another number. Divide and conquer.

The announcer came back on and said, "The winning number is THREE!"

Oh. Hell. Yeah! I did a dorky little dance and the bakery lady came over and presented me with a singler layer chocolate cake. I was pretty stoked. Ok, that's an understatement. I was giggling deliriously and jumping around like the time I won $80 at a hotel casino in Halifax playing roulette. (I bet on the black five that day.)

I love cake. And I love free stuff. So free cake? It totally made my day! Thanks, Greenwood Safeway!
