Barf and Pee….at Walmart!

Hee hee I know my ma won’t probably approve of my title but it is what it is….ha

I ran to Walmart tonight to grab some ink for my printer which seems to suck it down like a straw.

After grabbing some of the liquid gold…geez they soak you for this stuff…..I need to start an ink company….

ANYWAY….

I was walking back toward the checkout line, crossing through the laundry soap, when this woman ran by with her 3 year old son flying through  the air behind her like a Superman cape, attached to her only by his by his hand. He was howling and she was saying with staccato flair…don’t pee don’t pee don’t pee don’t pee….I laughed out loud which I am sure she wasn’t  too thrilled at.

Then as I turned the corner by the baby section…the one where the man who peed his pants was last week.. yeah that one…I saw this cherubic little boy with his hands over his mouth making gagging noises…his frantic mama said “Are you going to barf?” His blond curls bounced as he nodded his head, his big blue eyes starting to water…She screamed at her friend to grab the trash can. Friend grabbed trash can and flung off the cover..I kept walking…really fast….starting to giggle and then off a few aisles over I heard….Mom…Mommy….Mom….Mom….Mommmy….Mom….Mom…

I paid for my ink and walked out laughing….I am SO liking this Grandma thing!!!

Why am I NOT in the Club?

by AVinn on April 28, 2012

in At the Gym

I think sometimes we never leave Junior High…

I have been going to the gym with the same ladies for several years and for some reason I am not in the club…

You remember back in junior high when the popular girls all had something you wanted; the cute boyfriends, the perfect hair  the cool STUFF?  They always chatted to each other and somehow you felt like you had a sign on you that read “LOSER” on it…Now you remember…THAT CLUB!

I have always been nice to all of the gals in my gym, but somehow I am not included. I know it shouldn’t bug me but it does for some weird reason. I have friends so it’s not because I am lonely like that.

They are all very nice to me and make sure to include me when they need a card signed or to show off the loot they acquire, but I am still not in the club.

I don’t NEED any of the things they pass out or their invites to the Waffle Wagon. I have to work anyway so probably couldn’t go anyway.

At Christmas one was passing out little crocheted angels…did I REALLY want an angel NO, but why didn’t I get one?

How about on Halloween they all get a little bag of candy-corn but me? No Siree! ( I like Candy-corn!)

The  twin gals pass out Starlite Candies once a week or so…they skip right over me! HELLOOOO I’m right in front of you!

I have championed their need for heat after they get out of the pool, at my own expense.

I have given them the good lanes while swimming.

I make sure that I am not in the big shower if there is still a chance they are going to use it…

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOO! No Starlites for ANNE!

Hmmmm….maybe I need to be 80 to be in the club….well nevermind…who wants to be in their dumb old club anyway…I will buy my own Starlights!

I don’t even LIKE Starlights much…

I have been working out. It is no secret that in the last few years I have really been struggling with my weight. I am not hippo massive, but just uncomfortable with myself. I have tried every diet out there and FINALLY realized that unless I  am super careful with my diet and work out [...]

I went to take a swim today and the girls were there….and one of their friends… Gus. Judy was on a roll and I have no idea what she said, because she really didn’t SAY much at all! She was just Judy and laughed the whole time at whatever everyone else said. It was so [...]

Judy

April 23, 2011

This lady is absolutely a HOOT! Every day  she shows up everyone smiles and we all look forward to her visit. She announces herself with a loud Hiiii so-and-so to every person she sees.  She knows everyone and everyone adores her. I think she swims, but I am not quite sure.  I have never seen [...]

Dorothy…

April 13, 2011

I met Dorothy(not really her name) in the shower… I didn’t actually MEET her in the shower, but I came to know her in the shower. Every morning I could hear this woman talking to someone while she was in there. There is a half-wall between the mirror area and the shower so I couldn’t [...]
