So, here I am.  My cousin not so subtely told me the other night at dinner that he checks my blog every day waiting for an update.  He also gave me the look.  I guess that means I better get back to it.

I think one of the reasons I got off blogging – and let me admit now – it is not a good reason – I was hanging out with my parents and brother in Florida and they were the ones I was used to blogging for.  Now, don’t roll your eyes or say “What am I, chopped liver ?”  No, of course not, all of my readers are equally important which is why I am getting myself back on track.

Let’s start with a WalMart story – including picture.

Last night, I went to WalMart for a little “stuff getting” and as usual, I pick what I think will be a fairly efficient line, knowing that truthfully, I am incapable of picking an efficient line at WalMart.  Well, what do you know, my record is untarnished.  The woman in front of me, as seen below, had brought the ads for three grocery stores and one drug store with her to price match.  She has a full basket and proceeds to pull out each item and then look for it in the ads.  

Now, I am an extremely patient person, so I decided to consider this entertainment.  I begin texting my sister about it and she says “Blog it.”  She’s right, so I reply.  “I think I will and let me get a picture.”  I proceed to take TWO pictures, one of which you see here and as you can tell I am VERY close to her – there is no zooming going on here.  She is oblivious.  She is so wrapped up in her ads she does not see me raise my camera phone and take her picture TWICE. 

Hilarious.

As I said to my sister last night, it certainly is her right to peruse the ads and do exactly what she did, but I really think there should be a “Price Matching” line at WalMart – kind of like the “Commercial Line” at the bank.  Personally, my time is more valuable to me than what she probably saved.
