So, evidently my earlier experience with Wal-Mart didn’t suffice for the day.

Byron decided he wanted to go to BJ’s Wholesale - it’s important to include the full title of the store as a reminder of how stinkin’ HUGE it really is. But, they have big amounts of…stuff cheap. So, off we went.

It’s important to mention that I had gone all day without eating much of anything - and being hypoglycemic this is not optimal (As Madea says, “I’m diabetical - I gots to eat!!). So, I had just fixed a mug full of chicken noodle soup.

This is where the story begins to go awry…we just didn’t know it.

Unfortunately, since we don’t live very far from BJ’s and it was extremely hot, the soup did not get completely or even half-way eaten by the time we pulled into the parking lot. As we were getting out, I set the huge mug on the console between the seats - I remember thinking, “Wow, I better not forget that this honkin’ mug of hot soup is sitting here…”

Did I mention I have blood sugar issues? And one of the first things to go is my memory.

So, after a fun-filled frolic through the Mac Daddy of all the buy-in-bulk stores, we got back to the car. Now I’m even more “diabetical” and light-headed. So…

…well, let’s just say that in the few moments that it took for Byron to put the cart in the cart-return, I was trying to wipe up 20 ounces of hot chicken noodle soup out of his leather seat…with a single napkin. It didn’t work out very well…

So, if we hadn’t had a very sandy beach towel and an extra blanket in the trunk…well, it would have been an even more interesting ride home than it already was…

…I just kept thinking, “Well, at least we now have a boat-load of paper towels and wash cloths at home after my earlier trip to Wal-Mart!” But, I kept my thoughts to myself as I didn’t think it was the appropriate time to start a sentence with, “At least…”

I do think we’re done with discount shopping for the day.

At least we didn’t go all the way to Ikea!

Peace out.
