Cleanliness, friendliness, and a Starbucks oh, my! I went to the "secret" opening today. WOW! Do you know how many times I was asked "May I help you?" I was just "looking", but it sure was nice for someone to ask (hint to all you Wal-mart employees!) The clothing is cute and stylish and very well priced. Abby got some adorable new tennis shoes. We got a globe for our study (Scott's idea). I thoroughly toured the store and loved it! They have a starbucks and pizza hut in the store. Are you kidding me? 2 new starbucks that close to home. I can't wait until it gets cold because ya'll know I don't drink coffee, but I do love their white hot chocolate! For all you folks who missed the "secret" opening today, be there officially on the 29th. You will be pleasantly surprised at the service that awaits you. Take that Wal-mart!

Move over Wal-Mart!
July 18, 2007
Ya'll know I do NOT like Wal-mart! However, you probably see me in there alot...(darn those low prices.) I have never been a Target shopper because I never get to that side of town. Well, I have a feeling next week I will be one of the many faithful followers of the big red circle (when our new Target officially opens!) Here's why:
Yesterday I am buying my student school supplies (12 kids, a LOT of stuff, you get the picture).
I am counting crayons (I'm on #10) when a Wal-Mart employee (who should've been running a cash register...don't get me started on 25 cash registers and they open 2!!!!) puts her arms out to her side and tells me to move back. What?
She stands in the aisle blocking me so that a "crane" can come down the aisle to hang a sign. Now, here's the irony. They are hanging a sign to advertise school supplies to customers. I AM A CUSTOMER trying to BUY school supplies and they are blocking the aisle. Anybody feel my pain??? Girls, I came sooo close to leaving that full buggy in that aisle and walking out! (I know I should've on principal alone, but I had already counted 12 of almost everything!!!!) After at least 10 minutes they finally move and I am able to get my last 2 boxes. Get this...they never said excuse me, pardon me, we are so sorry for the inconvenience...NOTHING! Typical Wal-Mart...customer NEVER comes first! In fact, I don't really know where the customer comes in on their list? Anyway, another lady was on the same aisle and she said this was her last trip to Wal-Mart and then she started talking about Target. She said she "heard" they were having a "secret" opening for anyone who knew about it on July 25th. Anybody know anything? My suggestion is head that way on the 25th and tell them you know the secret! I sure hope Target has my stuff, cause I mean it...I am sick of Wal-Mart!!!!

Picture This!
July 5, 2007
Ya'll know I brag about my street being the best neighborhood ever. Here's another reason why:
Last night a few of us gathered for an informal 4th of July cook-out. Allyson (who is expecting twins and is pretty tiny I might add) was feeling "big". Heather decided to encourage her by showing pictures of when she was pregnant. (Now, Heather is only 5' and very petite. When we saw pictures of her bellly at only 7 months...WOW...we were all a little surprised!) Allyson, totally laughing and feeling MUCH better, b egan to look at the other photos. That led to an explanation of certain pictures, trips, etc...much laughter...which led to everyone scrambling to their own house to get their photo albums. So here we are, all virtually strangers a year ago, gathered around a table sharing some very funny, sweet, memorable moments. When's the last time you looked at old photos? Do you remember your funny hair, clothes, etc.? What were we thinking??? It is a good reminder to "look back" every now and then. In a spiritual sense, we get to see just how much God has done and how GOOD He is all the time. Our lives are so fleeting (as we have learned just this week when a friend was diagnosed with cancer.) Yet God is faithful from generation to generation. Eccles. 3 is a good verse to keep in mind when considering your days..."There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven"
Even "big 80's hair"??? Take some pictures today-and be prepared to laugh in a few years when you "look back" at what you thought looked good!!!!
