My Children Double Dip

but I triple dip!!

 

*If you Google ménage à trois, don't click on anything except Wikipedia. Just sayin'.  That was the name of this post, but it didn't work with my font so I changed it.

*I did a little retail therapy this week & wanted to share with you 2 of my most favorite buys.

Mini market totes for Sass & her BFF's birthday (now Baby Girl wants one), similar to this-

by Reisenthel (but I couldn't borrow the picture), purchased at my favorite local boutique Two Friends

and these cute "boxer" shorts from Malabar Bayexcept mine are a different pink & green print. (They wouldn't let me find the actual print either. Apparently these people don't know I'm giving them free advertisement!)

*If we're friends on FB, then you know that me & my friend, Amy C. took our children (her 2 boys & my 3+ Sass's friend) to see Toy Story 3.  $70 later, that's right SEVENTY dollars for 5 people to see a matinee movie & not even the 3D version, as the boy employee was helping me to our seats with my $35 worth of popcorn & drinks (not a steak dinner) I discovered I didn't get straws for the littles & he offered to go get them.  When he returned, he handed them to me & just stood there as if waiting for a tip.  Really? Dude, I've just paid $70 for a mere 2 hours of entertainment for these children. You're NOT getting a tip.  Can you believe that?

*And some of you may remember the story of Bo's pillow, if not here's a recap.  So during the part *SPOILER ALERT* where the toys are about to get "fired" or rather burnt up, Bo freaked out & hollered, "Is that what happened to my pillow?"  I about peed in my pants.  Then he informed me it wasn't funny.  I thought it was.

*I'm having some major issues with the fact that my children are physically fighting over which song to listen to on the Vacation Bible School CD.  They are total hypocrites!

*Tomorrow this the annual 4th of July BBQ/ Pool Party.  At this event will be most of the people from Beach Week 2010 plus some, so I can assure you I will be totally Preppy Redneck all the way!

*Now for the Letter of Intent that I have been meaning to write for quite some time & really do need to send to Sam Walton (but isn't he dead).

Dear Local Wal-Mart,

Why is it that every time I shop at your store I have to ring up my own purchases?  I mean, really, you have 20 registers & only open 2 of them.  I have been to your store when only 1 register was open.  Just because you installed those self check-out things, doesn't mine everybody wants to use them.  It's okay when I only have 3 items & the other 2 registers are backed up into the clothing aisle, but when I'm fixing to drop $100 I expect a little more customer service.  Do y'all "rollback prices" every time I use the self check-out? Because if that's the case, those 4th of July bowls should have been 10 cents instead of a dollar. Besides think of all that wasted space. 

Signed,

Not a very satisfied customer
