Weird.

I am, in some respects, one of the Guilt-Sponge People -- that is, it's fairly easy to make me feel bad about something, although actually getting me to do something about it is trickier. I can come up with convoluted ways to blame myself for things, et cetera. It's not like I never recognize what I'm doing, or someone else's attempts, but that doesn't necessarily prevent the emotional reaction.

The odd thing is, twice in just a few days, I've seen people attribute guilt-tripping as a motive in cases where I not only wouldn't have pegged it as guilt-tripping, but am not sure I'd even have felt particularly guilty. (Although it's a little hard to say when detached, I suppose.)

If I were wealthy, I'd have a cook to handle the grocery shopping and I'd eat out all the time. That being said, I enjoy shopping on a daily basis and seeing just how little I can spend each time. I did pretty good a couple of weeks ago, but it really is a hassle when one is working all day long. Grocery stores at 5 o'clock are a mild version of hell.

Yipe. I understand daily grocery shopping is the norm in some areas (larger cities?) but I'd rather go once a week at most, ideally having eaten dinner first.
