in my little home-town Wal-Mart.

Lot's of stuff happens here.

First, it's a very social experience. You see people you never ever see. You get to catch up on what's been going on in their life. THEN they want to know what has been going on in MY life. Believe me - not enough time for that. This is really bad if you are in a hurry or an introvert (like me) because there is no such thing as a quick trip to Wal-Mart. It is even painfully worse when Randy is along. He can spend hours in their just visiting. Just talkin'. Just catching up with every. single. person. we. see. I am not kidding. You think I am? umm.... I am not.

Second, you can possibly probably buy way more items than are on your list. You go in for a gallon of milk and you come out with a new flat screen. Or you may just pop in for a dozen eggs and come out with an I-Phone. Any way you look at it - it's very difficult to just run in and out and not spend a ton of cash.

Since doing the grocery game we hardly ever go to Wal-Mart. If we do it is for something specific so I don't get the chance to just cruise the isles anymore.

Before Christmas I looked high and low in Wichita for a Moppine and could not find one anywhere. Of course, I didn't know what it was called but I had seen Rachael use one. Who knew? In my short walk from the humidifier isle to the birthday card isle I was amazed to see a display of Rachael Ray Moppines!
