The Trouble with The Equuschick

The trouble with The Equuschick is essentially that she is the type of person who will devote an hour's worth of planning in the morning to grocery shopping for that afternoon, scanning the sales ads, making a detailed shopping list of what to get at each store, clipping coupons, and then storing the coupons and the shopping list and the pen and the scissors and the calculator all in the handy-dandy coupon organizer that Shasta purchased for her.

Then will she hit her first grocery store and purchase the listed items.

And then, walking blithely out the store, she will leave the coupon folder and its entire contents on the store counter behind her.

She would like very much to assure her readers that she really would have noticed its absence before the next grocery store and that, having noticed, would have recalled where she'd left it.

But all she can tell the readers positively is that The Equuschick had made it through the parking lot and was in the truck, all but about to shut the door and drive off, when two good Samaritans came by inquiring if she'd left a blue binder in the store.
