Weekend in Salem, Oregon

GO BLITZ!

We went to Salem for Bella's last soccer tournament ever (sniff, sniff). The accommodations at Residence Inn Salem are quite lovely, just so you know. 

Before the last game I took a trip to the local Fred's to restock our supplies.  Here's an actual conversation I had while buying a few candy bars for my family.

Skinny 24-year-old Fred Meyer clerk: Oh, I wish I could eat these, but I have a low tolerance for sugar and I think I'm allergic to chocolate. 

Me: (giving him the hairy eyeball)

Clerk: No, it's seriously sad! I can eat all the junk food and fried stuff in the WORLD and I'll stay at, like, 4% body fat! It's so low that the doctor told me not to exercise, and I'm sad cuz I LOVE exercise!!

Me: SHUT UP YOU LITTLE WEASEL
