I made friends with a lonely balloon at Harris Teeter

13 Aug

I stopped in the Harris Teeter at North Hills last night to pick up a bottle of wine on my way home from sewing class. As I was walking to the register, a lonely balloon caught my eye. So I tucked the bottle of wine under my arm (probably not very smart in hindsight, but I didn’t drop it) and snapped this photo with my iPhone.

I posted it to Twitter from the parking lot, and the comments started pouring in:

Thanks for the comments, tweeps! I loved this photo and it really cheered me up after a lousy day.

    I always thought it quite silly to have feelings for inatamate objects. But still sometimes I do. I guess its hereditary.
