Chauffeur $80

Today I was a chauffeur, but not in the way that I will be in 10 years when I will be carting my daughter between ballet practice and violin lessons (yes, this is my blog dreamworld, I know it will really be more like the mall and Susie's house).

Today I was a chauffeur more akin to the guy who drives the mayor around in a convertible at a small town's 4th of July parade.

From the moment Bellerina's butt touched the carriage at Roche Bros. she was campaigning for her second term as its mayor.

Our entire ride around the grocery store was a chorus of "Hiiiiiii!", "Hiiiiii!" to every person we passed along with a big double-handed Miss.America wave. Hand cupped, turn in, turn out.

Unreal.

Of course, she may have ruined her image because she clutched an avocado the whole time. Security blanket.
