So me and baby spawn head out to Walmart..Only to get paint mind you..Only paint...On the way baby spawn is trying to peek out her window..Then I hear "momma cows" I turn my head..And I will be damned if there aren't a heard of cows out her window..This baby is starting to make more sense everyday, kind scary..
We get to Walmart and I feel dirty going in..Like I am going into some seedy strip joint or sex toy shop..(not that I have ever been to either place..I am just assuming this)..We go over to the paint, I try to pick out a good shade if green..I get "rosemary green"..It looks good on the color swatch..Looks good all mixed up...So I am thinking...way to go you got yourself a good color ..I get home and paint..Then I realize it looks kinda like mint...Maybe a minty color pepto bismol...But it is staying..I am not painting it again....No how no way..uh-uh...
Anyway..While we were in line at Walmart to check out..The lights go out..I mean wallyworld is pitch black dark..And you could hear a pin drop...I was kinda all freaked out...I am thinking..Shit..I bet the doors wont open...Crap I am gonna die here in walmart..The very store I despise...How will my family explain this one away???? So I am thinking I should quickly maybe write my " death note" explaining why I was in walmart to start with...Just so everyone knows I was only in to by paint...Just paint...That is forgivable right??? right????..
Well the cash register only have half hour left of juice till they quit..And I had a man in front of me with a crap load of groceries...And the cashier is slower than molasses....Finally she gets to me....I am like hurry up lady I need to get out of here...Please hurry...Well she got done and I head for the doors..In the mean time baby spawn is saying " goodbye" to everyone she sees and giving them a very pleasant wave...Crap..I think baby spawn likes walmart..No..Cant be soo...No..Please not walmart..
The doors were pried open so we GOT OUT ALIVE...!!!
Now after I have the kitchen all painted...My ceramic tiles on the back splash look awful and don't match..So tomorrow I am off to Home Depot to get supplies to paint them...I will show you my finished product soon...I know you are all waiting with antipaction..Keep your britches on..Its coming:)
Well I am off to bed for the night...Have a good weekend friends:)

Hey - at least you have a choice other than Wal-mart - I need something and don't want to drive 60 miles - I get it at Wal-mart....
But we will forgive you - you can't buy paint at Target.
I once got stuck at Walmart- some little girl went missing, and I too was shopping with my 2 yr old spawn at the time. So they closed the doors, letting no one in or out, no registers, nothing..just an annnouncement that a child is missing, the mother gets on the speaker to describe her LITTLE GIRL, ABOUT 2 YRS OLD, spanish (i too am spanish)..so I suddenly start getting evil looks from the people around me realizing they think that the kid sitting in my cart looks exactly like the missing kid! I was like, OH HELL NO!..I was ready to fight, I mean my daughter looks JUST LIKE ME for god's sake...there is no doubt. Thank god about 5 min later they found that damn kid..I never went back after that..lol
I love your Walmart stories. Always an adventure.
geez louise, we went to Omaha last nite and stopped at a Wal-Mart on the way out of town. What a hell hole. It was 11:00 pm and all the isles were filled with pallets o-stuff to be stocked. What a mess with some real 'low-life' working there.
What does everyone have against walmart?
not your wallmart..just wallmarts in genral:)
