My blogging inspriation finally came to me this afternoon after a long and exhausting trip to the "Neighborhood" Wal-Mart. For those of you that have never been to my local Wal-Mart, I will paint you a picture. Wal-Mart is strategically placed in the middle of two-worlds. Wal-Mart unites two very unique worlds, across the highway (behind the world's biggest head-shop)is a rundown housing development where the requirement to live there must either be to have gold teeth or to park your car in the front yard. Then there are the uptowners...I do not need to explain them, we all know the uptowners. Designer handbags, perfectly done hair, bronzed tan and shopping for the trendiest food they can find in a neighborhood wal-mart, which from what I found is Hummus.
My typical Wal-Mart trips consist of children running unsupervised through the store, they then throw everything they can find with sugar into the basket while the uptowners silently judge and say to themselves "if those were my kids...". Well today was no exception. I went to Wal-Mart to grab a box of cereal and Lean Cusine for school tomorrow. I mentally prepared myself for the excursion, I immediately pulled into the parking lot and got the front spot, so exciting! normally I am forced to park in the muddy "pseudo" lot that is lined with mud holes and a cemetery (seriously a cemetery). Still on a high from the great parking spot, I make a B-Line for the cereal aisle. I first come across a cute little boy who is trying to convince his Mom that he NEEDS these particular fruit snacks. After Mom finally put her foot down and said no, the little one decided to get her back by knocking all of my cereal boxes on the floor. AWK! I grabbed the box before I witnessed a public beating. After grabbing item # 2, I go the checkout counter. 19 lanes, 6 self-checkout lanes and 7 were open. The total for my purchase was $6.17 and total amount of time I waited in line 17 minutes. So I ask you this friends, why do we continue going to Wal-Mart?
