Pay it forward...the second time!

A bumper sticker. My bumper sticker (well, not actually adhered to the car yet!). What this means for you? My sister from Washington was kind enough to scrape up 4 of these lovely bumper stickers. Two have been spoken for, and two I want to give away. In the south this is a prized possession, since Wal-Mart (Hell-Mart) has a monopoly on what we can buy. I hate Wal-Mart...and would never shop there again if we had another good grocery store (The Pig doesn't count). Although I may never place this on my bumper, for fear of having my tires slashed, I still love looking at it on the fridge (Mark is putting one on his office bulletin board). So this is the offer. The first two commenters will receive this lovely bumper sticker, courtesy of me, myself, and I (oh, and my sister Shannon)!

Hey I'll take one.. but I love walmart! (well not ours.. it sucks.. but bigger ones) I'd be very interested to hear what your beef with wally world is! What don't I know? BTW I was SOOO happy you came to playgroup this morning! *big grin* I even told Suzanne later that, "I really hope Angela and I can get to know each other better!" :)

Wow that is a bold statement! My brother in law and sister in law dont shop at Wal-Mart,"they dont like what it stands for" but of course they do not live here,they live in Sikeston,Missouri,here it seems to be a thing.Sorry I missed playgroup this morning-I had a migraine,even though my children will be in school also,I will try to be there next Tuesday.;)

Mandy, thanks for being so sweet. I hope we have a chance apart from play group too. You are full of fun...always looking for some of that in my life. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I think the only beef with wally world is, is that they are the only place to shop here in monticello. Nothing is cheap...compared to the prices that Wally has in the bigger cities. See they know that they have us between a rock and a hard place. Plus where is tofu jerky or hummus! Sometimes I like to cook exotic and what do you know...wally has none of the ingredients I am looking for. Since I follow a recipe to the tee it is hard for me to know what to substitute. Rachel Ray help me!!!! Wouldn't you love to have fresh meats, cheese, and vegetables?

I must agree. As Im from Washington. And can say for certain that our prices are much better. And what a choice. We have all sorts of cheeses,olives bar, ethnic foods, gourmet selections.And they even sell Rachel Rays cookbooks. Is that enough of a incentive for you to move home. Or this GRANDMA AND GRANDPA WILL WATCH THE KIDS WHILE YOU SHOP. OF COURSE YOU MUST MAKE US THAT GOURMET MEAL WHEN YOU GET HOME FROM wallmart! LOVE MOM

Wee...Walmart bashing. I leaned over that grey cart and took it up the tailpipe earlier this evening. I had to go to every single department and hunt down all of the fine people that I worked with in that horrid place. I almost felt guilty when I got to leave and they didn't.

Okay.. I totally understand that, Angela! And I'm with ya on the crappy selection of foods.. especially FRESH food. Where are the herbs and spices? I can't buy fresh thyme or rosemary there unless it's the new organic kind which costs A FORTUNE! So I'm stuck using dried!! So not the same! Often times ours doesn't even keep fresh Romaine lettuce in stock... but you can find a head of not so nutritious iceberg lettuce around every corner of produce. It is frustrating!

OK Angela, if you have one more left, Michael would love to have one. You know he is so anti Wal-mart

Wal-Mart...just like McStupids...only on a much broader scale. And this pathetic store here, has to be at the bottem of the W-M food chain. You KNOW I'll take one!

Calling All Women

The Challenge: Have as many women as I can interpret what I meant by "Spending ever day looking for new ways to reinvent our relationship." Please leave your comments so that I know I wasn't speaking a foreign language with my spouse. Men, feel free to comment as well! I'm sure you will anyways. Conversation with hubby: Me: I have a New Years Resolution that I think would be fun for us, do you want to hear it? Man: Sure Me: I think every day we should look for new ways to reinvent our relationship? Man: What do you mean? Me: I just said what I meant. Man: No you didn't really explain what you mean, though. Me: You know, finding little things that would change our relationship...doing something each day. Man: That seems taxing! Me: Working on our relationship is work? Man: Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do. That's 365 days, you know. Me: There are calendars out there that will tell you things to do that are romantic! Buy one. Man: Yeah, but most of them are ...

Monday, when we got back from our anniversary trip, found a note on the counter that read: Suzanne called. Play group. Tuesday at 830am. Who would schedule a playgroup so early? Doesn't anyone sleep in? Let the kids find their own breakfast, and stay under the covers till they beg for lunch? Well, you know heat here in the summers, ranging around the 100's, makes us southerners wake up early in the a.m. to do the things we enjoy. When noon rolls around, we hull up in our homes, doors tightly shut, curtains drawn, trying to escape the BIG BAD (the sun appropriately named, right Spike?)! I guess that was not in the cards for us today! We spent the early morning hours playing at the park with pretty much everyone from Journey! Unfortunately around 10 a.m. the heat found us and forced us to retreat to Suzanne's house for some relief! We had a great time chatting, the conversation ranged from ovulation...and ended with ovulation. I think Micheal enjoyed the conversation as much ...

My latest obsessions….puzzling The week after Coyote made a surprise visit! It’s been awhile since I posted! I was just looking back on some posts and giggled so I think it is important to continue since posts tell the story of my life. These pictures were from our latest venture to Paso Robles to see Coyote! Mark, I, and Charlie drove to Paso Robles California in approximately 18 hours. We stayed three glorious days and drove home within the sametime frame. While we were there, we got to see Hearst Castle, visited San Luis Obispo, saw the ocean and tons of beached Sea creatures, ate amazing food, drank amazing coffee, visited a couple of thrift stores, art galleries, and was surprised to find a outdoor vending machine full of specialty meats and cheeses. We purchased a cheese that was literally black all the way through. It was so good and tasty. It had a wonderful lemon taste to it and was very mild. Our Airbnb was located on a Vineyard. Coyote, Kees, and Pharaday even came over and ...
