Wordless Wednesday
Either this dog has mumps or he thinks he’s a chipmunk!
It looks like he’s got two balls in his mouth – maybe a tennis ball on one side and a ping pong ball on the other doesn’t it?
I’ve known of some dogs that would carry balls like that around most of the day. The ball would just be a gooey mess when they finally let go of it to beg you to throw it for them. Yuck.
I think I’m just about all set for our trip to Vegas.
We’ve gone shopping to get some new clothes – a must for any trip! Plus, I got some new things for my computer as I’ll be bringing my laptop with me when I got to the blogging convention.
I got a new battery for my laptop so it will last longer when it’s unplugged, and I also got an external 380 GB hard drive as I expect that Chris and I will be taking a lot of digital photos and videos. I figured we can store all of our digital media on the external hard drive. Plus, later, after our trip I can use the external drive to backup important files – kind of like a zip drive I guess.
I guess you could say we got everything but the IBM memory. Uhm that’s supposed to be a pun … you know, everything but the kitchen sink? Except since I’m talking about my computer … ah never mind. LOL
So, yesterday I started to talk about an adventure I had in Walmart on Sunday. Want to know what happened?
My husband and I had been out shopping – getting some clothes at the mall for our trip to Las Vegas, buying groceries and getting a few other things at Walmart. We’d been on our feet for hours and we were both tired and hungry.
When we finally got in line for one of the cashiers at Walmart we noticed two women standing to the side of our line with their shopping cart. We knew we’d been in line before them and I was sure they were going to try to bud in front of the person ahead of me.
I was keeping an eye on things because I figured there’d be fireworks.
Well they didn’t try to bud in line ahead of the lady with two young children that was ahead of me. Nope. They budded in front of us!
I was determined to not let them in but they kept shoving their cart so hard that it kept banging into the lady ahead of me’s legs! She was holding a baby in her arms. I was afraid that she’d end up falling and that either she or the child would get hurt so I backed off and let the two rude ladies who pretended to speak no English bud in line ahead of me.
I’m tall though so I stood immediately behind them – towering over them since they were both four foot nothing.
I guess I intimidated them because they continued to bang their cart into the lady that had been ahead of me.
Why are people so darn rude! Yes the line ups were long at the Walmart – they always are, but that doesn’t give anyone the right to bully their way into line by almost knocking people over!
I know I shouldn’t have let them in line, but I didn’t want to be part of the cause of someone getting injured.
I was steamed all evening over what these two ladies had done!
Yesterday I was invited to enter into a special partnership with a company that calls itself a private online shopping club. I decided to take the company up on it’s offer and join as there seems to be some benefits to me such as big discounts on trendy clothing and high quality furniture if I were interested in buying as well as referral fees.
As I was looking around the site I saw some beautiful leather home theater seating, similar to a few of the sets shown on that page.
It caught my eye because when we get around to finishing our basement I think we might set it up as a home theater. Right now we’ve got our big screen HD TV in the living room, but I have other plans for the joined living room dining room and it’s always been our plan to move the TV downstairs. So why not really do it up and create a beautiful home theater room?
I know our renovation is probably a year or more in the future, but I can’t help trying to plan ahead of time!
Earlier I was visiting a friends blog and she was talking about how she and her family had managed to get Miley Cyrus tickets.
I thought that was great as it sounded like something that she and her family could do together but for the life of me I didn’t clue into who Miley Cyrus was until just a moment ago.
She’s Hanna Montana … Billy Ray Cyrus’ daughter.
Since we don’t have kids we don’t keep up with what’s hot in the world of teens. Call me clueless but that’s my excuse!
