Bigger is Better: The Warehouse Store Escapade

         It's only day two and I'm already not sure what to write about. I know nobody is reading this and in all likelihood nobody is going to read it, but daily writing is new to me. Usually I wait until inspiration strikes, i.e., when I'm depressed or thinking unusually big thoughts. Which lately is not often. Ok, enough whining.
        Today I went on an "adventure" with my dad. My parents own a small restaurant and we decided to explore a new restaurant depot store. I love huge warehouse stores like Costco and Smart and Final, if only because I like pointing out every single slightly exotic thing, giggling and asking what they're used for. I also take advantage of all free samples, in this case cheese, which made me super excited because if there's anything I love more than toast, it's cheese. By the way, did you know they use cheese in tiramisu? Who knew. Plus the ladies who were giving away the samples were friendly, which is usually not the case. The one downside was that my dad insisted on spending 15 minutes in the hugest walk-in fridge I've ever seen. Now, I would gladly choose freezing to death over anything heat-related, but it was really, really cold in there. Like, 35 degrees. And I was wearing a t-shirt and shorts. Interestingly they had jackets you could wear, but they were bright orange and worn by other people. Then we went out for Thai food because my dad totally rocks like that.
      By the way, in case somebody does stumble upon this, I found a bomb diggedy site called fontcapture.com where you can make a font out of your own handwriting.
