Wow, I seriously don't know what happened but somehow miraculously my header picture centered itself! I've been trying to figure out how to get it in the middle forever, but keep giving up because it takes too much time. So I'll leave this one for now.
It feels like forever since I've been on the blog. I haven't really been in the mood. I've had some interesting and fun things happen this past week. One, Friday I meet up with my sister at the Meridian Winco to go grocery shopping. This is something we do every once and a while to get together. It usually turns out pretty good. Let me tell you, this trip was far from good. Besides the spike in grocery costs, the store was BUSY! I swear we've been there on Fridays before and it has never been like this. It was so annoying because we'd try to go down an isle to look at what we needed and there would always be someone in front of us or someone needing to get by us. I was also very frustrated with the costs going up, I decided to bail out on Winco and head to Costco where I could get more for less. I invited my Sister-in-Law Christy along since I had to drop something by her house. We get to the parking lot and it is "Handicap War"! I found a fairly close parking spot (that was not a handicap spot mind you). I signaled to take the spot and some car pulled up in front of me holding her flashy blue handy cap sign at me. I'm thinking, "are you freaking serious?" Here I have two small children (one which I get to carry) and a pregnant mommy in tow, and this person thinks because they have a handicap sticker they get my spot (which I must remind you is not a designated handicap spot). OK, well I'm a nice person and I go my way to the back of the parking lot where there are many open and available spots to park. As we are walking to the store we pass by the many rows of filled up handicap spots where we see and old lady yelling out her window at another old lady. "Hey, I was waiting for that spot!"......" Well I've been waiting for an HOUR for one of these spots you #!&#% !!" Oh my goodness, we were just dieing! Here you have old people waiting forever for a dumb close spot, to walk through a big store, yet they can't seem to walk a few yards more through a parking lot. OK so that was about the funniest thing this weekend. Saturday Alex and his brothers went golfing, then we all went to the Local Broadway production "Singing in the Rain". This is a whole other story that would take another two paragraphs. Just to keep a long story short, the guys made us late, in which we lost our "reserved seats" (which they give away to open seating 10 minutes before the show starts). Luckily we found a few seats here and there and still got to see the show. Alex and Gabe pretty much died of boredom. Although it was not the best thing I've seen, it was nice to do something different. I couldn't stand the main character! He was awful for me to watch. Sunday we all got together at Alex's Sister's house for a Birthday BBQ for her husband Scott. It was good times and great food! We had a good time and a great weekend!
ohhhh....that little picture of Mycah holding hands with the stone children KILLS ME! that was pretty much the best part of my weekend! It was so funny when she tried to hug them and get them to play with her.....just her size but not too friendly! Darn stone children!
ReplyDeleteWe didnt really get to trash talk the main guy - but oh my goodness watching him dance and flail about while sitting next to Gabe and hearing his comments almost did me in!!! Gabe kept whispering 'if he doesnt pull his pants down a few inches soon, I might throw up!' Those suckers were HIKED up! Oh musical drama....
Anna- I have to agree with you when it comes to the handicap parking at costco...really, if you can walk the length of the store you can park in the back of the lot with the rest of us. You're a lot nicer than I would have been. I would have whipped into the parking spot and pretended I didn't see her!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that old lady thought that she was entitled to that spot because she had a handicap sticker. I am just amazed at how some people act.
ReplyDeleteWhat a weekend! Sounds like it was go go go from the start! I think it's great that you went to a musical, even if the lead guy wasn't very good. I always think Darren and I should go to more plays, but his enthusiasm for the arts has declined because of the high school musical productions I've forced him to go to recently...
ReplyDeleteOkay, that handicapped thing was super weird! I've never seen the handicapped spots all filled, much less old people brawling over them. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is ALWAYS busy at Costco, I hate that. That's funny about the parking fiasco. What kind of person with a handicap pass doesn't use the spots closer that are designated for them?
