Ummmm...this is Smith's...

vs.

Yesterday I went to Smith's grocery store. I remembered that my debit card had expired so I whipped out my checkbook and wrote a check for the balance. I handed the check to the cashier and he looked at me like I was a little crazy and said, "Ummm...this is Smith's..." I had written the check out to Safeway! Safeway is a chain grocery store in Colorado. I don't think the cashier had a clue what Safeway was. I told him that I had moved here from Colorado and that Safeway was a grocery store there (I didn't tell him that I've lived in Utah for almost 3 years now!) I don't know why but this story still has me chuckling...most of my non-Colorado friends don't find this very funny, however, I know for sure my family, and the rest of my CO friends will appreciate this little excursion!

I enjoyed it! We have Safeways in Washington too! That's where my mom does her shopping so I totally understand! Thanks for the laugh.

Me too. My dad always called King Sooper's "King Stupid's" and one day accidently wrote that on his check. They had a good laugh.

You're a riot, Tiff!! hey, have I told you my joke about how to fit 100 elephants in a Safeway? You take the "S" out of "safe" and the "F" out of"way"....

About Me

Life as it for Tiffany Finley is quite the revolving door, one activity ends and I’m back on the rebound, looking for something to spice it up! Live it up, I tell you! Although, those who know me well, know my limits of “living it up!” A whirlwind of terrible singing, dancing, playful banter, blunt responses, sweet and endearing but firm and serious remarks to children, speaking/slaughtering accents that I’ve spun from memory, are a just a few of my favorite things….I delight in waking to the sunrise, driving to an incredible place of work, where I am able to express my true self regularly! My students call me "Crazy. ” This is where the song and dance comes into play, whether we are learning about adjectives or writing our names on our papers, I’ve got a song and cheer for it all! I’m passionate about traveling and walking down narrow pathways. In my spare time, I enjoy taking walks in the park…I’ve been known to disappear in the dark of the night, only to be found on the swings. I also love to organize and re-organize, I can never quite get things right. I thoroughly enjoy people watching.
