Shopping at Walmart
Can you believe I like shopping at Walmart?! Well, I had fun today. About as much fun as one could have at Walmart, I imagine (that means it wasn't exactly a thrill, but it was a tad enjoyable).
For my birthday a couple weeks ago, I received some walkie-talkies (a.k.a. two-way radios, but I've always called them walkie-talkies), which I had wanted for years. They have come in very handy -- I can go on a walk and have all my peace and quiet taken away while I talk with Amy the whole time (kidding, kidding). No, they are fun. But one way they come in handy is shopping! Today Mom and I took them to Walmart -- she gave me a list of things to get in the grocery section while she shopped the other end of the store, and we both had a walkie-talkie so I could ask her questions like "What brand of tostadas do you want?"
I got a good amount of groceries, and then Mom finally got to the grocery section about that time, so she gave me some more things to pick up. Then I went to the check out and did that all by myself (well, until the
very end, when Mom showed up, but I had already paid anyway).
I was so pleased with myself for knowing how to unload/reload my cart at the checkout -- I put the cans and other stuff like that at the start of the line, so I could put them in the bottom of my cart afterward. And I saved the stuff like cereal for last so it wouldn't get crushed.
LOL, that might not seem like a big deal, but to me... I have my moments when I just
don't think.
My #1 problem with shopping is that I had the hardest time finding some of the things on my list. Most of the time, I was in the wrong aisle, but other times there were just too many items on the shelves, and it was almost like trying to find a needle in a haystack (okay, okay, that was a big exaggeration, sorry). I know, that will improve with experience.
But all in all, it was a fun time, and I am actually looking forward to next time I can go shopping with Mom at Walmart again.
No, in case you were wondering, Walmart is not my favorite place to shop. That would probably be Kohl's.

I'm glad that you had such a good time! I know what you mean about having so many items on the shelves. It's as if they offer 25 brands of salsa, and I have to look for the best deal. It's really hard sometimes!
Have a very bright, very cheerful day!

Sounds like fun!! Oh, and I like your new blog change, but it could not be really new anymore, it's been a while since I've stopped by!!
Thanks! Yep, that's my hat - I like it too but I don't wear it enough! I have had potato soup once before at a friend's house and I liked it, but Anna didn't. Mom has never made it.... that I know of. We do like allot of other kind of potato things though.
Thanks for visiting!! :o) To let you know - I posted a picture of me wearing my shawl.
Love, Amber

Dear Allison,
That is a good idea about the walkie talkies. When my mom and I used to shop we never thought of that. Kohls is your favorite store to shop? It is pretty nice but nothing can beat Carters. All those baby clothes! Ahhh!
