'Fess Up Friday

The weekend is here and that means confessions.  Yep that's right!  Confession is a way to clear the conscience before the weekend comes.  Head over to Mamarazzi and check out her confessions along with lots of others.




I confess that I went to WalMart in my pajama bottoms.  Yep I did it!  Perpetuated a sterotype, huh?  Well, I still looked better than most people there and I didn't make People Of Walmart's website.  It is not for the faint of heart, BTW.

I confess again this week like I did last week that I am a Scrooge when it comes to Halloween.

I confess that I lost $30 at work last night.  I got upset but that is sometimes the way the cookie crumbles.  I ended up finding it later tucked into the waistband of my pants(don't even think about asking).  I knew that God would provide.

I confess that I don't understand these Naughty Nurse and sexy witch costumes.  Since when did dressing up for your hubby in the bedroom(not that I do or that I don't that is not my confession), become the way we dress on Main St or at a bar?

I confess that I think I look better in my winter clothes than I do in my summer ones!  I love having the long sleeves.  I love that cooler weather is here!

I confess that I love the way our mountains look in fall.  They are beautiful!  I am so blessed to live here!

I confess that having Binod and Soraswati in from Nepal was such a blessing to our family.  We got outside our comfort zones and were so blessed by the Lord.  If you are not familiar with this story, head over here to see The Faces of Refugees.

I hope that you all have a great weekend!  Pictures of my creative children will be posted all weekend!

5 Reasons Why I Love Walmart

So my hubby told me that I was too negative in my last post despite the fact that he agrees with me. So today in honor of Valentines Day, I am posting about the reasons why, in fact, I love Walmart. It is a love/hate relationship between us! I could in fact only come up with 5 so what does that tell you? So here they are........

5. People watching! There are some great characters in there to entertain you all day.

4. Walmart greeters are very friendly where I live.

3. Our Walmart is green instead of blue. I like that!! We are different!

2. They still support the Salvation Army bell ringers, Girl Scouts, Veterans, etc....

1. Walmart Bingo! This can provide endless hours of fun and it is a cheap date!

I am done with my rant about WalMart at least for now! I hope that you have a Happy Valentines Day!

10 Reasons Why I Hate Wal Mart!!!!!!!!!

I know, I know, Wal Mart is great but does anyone else get annoyed when going there? They are one of the largest employers in the country and I have family that works there. That being said: here are the reasons I hate shopping there!

10: They don't double coupons. Why? I don't know!

9: I am easily distracted by all the other stuff in the store and can't just grocery shop.

8: People drive the wrong way in the parking lot. Ahhhhhhhhhh! Why can't they just paint them straight?

7: The massive amounts of screaming children! I don't take mine in and if I did I would not allow them to scream like that!!!

6: I always have to stand in line. There are 27 registers and only 2 open. Sometimes I catch a break and the self-check is open(see #5).

5: The self-check is not for everyone. Some people cannot and should not be allowed to operate this simple machine. Don't get me started on the 20 item or less register!

4: Crazy people! Some who work there and some who shop there. They are walking around mumbling to themselves, missing shoes, showing thongs, and yelling at people.

3: The bathrooms are always closed when I am there.

2: The carts that people drive around go soooooo slow! I know they are necessary but like the person in front of me driving 25 in a 45, it drives me nuts!

1: People who park their carts in the middle of the aisles so that no one else can get down the aisle. When you ask them to move, they look at you with that dazed look in their eye. I have been known to move their carts for them.
