348 Days Until the Wedding

I look forward to the day when we can order all groceries online. In fact, I look forward to the time when all grocery stores are virtual; all employees of grocery stores will be webmasters, coders, delivery persons, system administrators, and upper management. Then we'll all have more time to do...non grocery shopping. Of course, there will have to be a huge database full of carton pictures, including nutritional information, container size, etc.

You see, I've grown to not like grocery shopping. It used to not be such a big deal, but then I suddenly have little extra time during a day. Grocery shopping makes this small amount of time even smaller. If we could eliminate the need for an actual physical store, we'd eliminate lost time.

Tonight I hope to cut my total grocery shopping time to 20 minutes. Wish me luck.

Oh erm. This is all for planning for the future. You see, eventually we'll have children. Kids = time. More time = more kids. Er, more time to spend with the kids. Something like that. More time to spend with kids means less frantic rushing to the store, children in tow. If anyone's visited a grocery store recently and seen parents there with small children, I am certain they've gotten it into their head that it's a situation to avoid if possible (I don't think it is). Mandatory Virtual Grocery Stores (MVGS) woudl be the perfect solution to this.
