it says 20 items or less

So I ran to Wal-mart for a quick pick up of a few things in between court hearings. Kind of in a hurry. McKay has sort of turned me off of the check yourself out lane - plus I only had a check and that seems to be a pain sometimes. So I go to the 20 items or less lane. Low and behold soccer mom and her like 1 week old baby and 3 year old are in front of me. Does she just have formula and diapers? NO. Does she just have juice and a few Twix candy bars? NO. Let's just say that the Twix candy bars and diapers equaled the 20 items or less. She starts to put her 80 items on the very small area that is made for normal people's 20 items or less. She counts her Twix candy bars and diapers, looks back at me - seeing the irritated look on my face - and sort of turns back to the basket to put the Twix's back and perhaps move to the 80 items or less lane. Then she stops and most likely thinks - "Those people don't have anywhere to be, I'll just stay here" and continues with her terrible shopping etiquette. Check-out lady was totally annoyed too - we shared a look together. She had to start bagging her 80 items and put them on another register, there was so many diapers, Twix candy bars, and juice boxes to check out. I sat there for a minute and thought, I need to blog about this because it sort of happens a lot at Wal-mart. McKay and I would love to be closet Wal-mart shoppers, but we are shameful shop every Sunday at 9 AM Wal-mart shoppers. It's too cheap. So we see this stuff happen all the time. Don't people realize that other people's court hearings are just as important to them as their kids soccer game is to them?

I finally did it!

It has been a long process but I finally graduated! I feel a huge relief and accomplished. I don't feel any smarter after having compleated my degree but I know that in the world of jobs it means something. To all of you out there with unaccomplished goals it is never too late and you are never too old.

baby jazz

So we are super big Utah Jazz fans around our house. Henry's uncle bought him a Utah Jazz outfit...12 mo. It sort of fits. Sadly. Anyway, tonight is a big game for the Jazz and we are getting prepared with our Utah Jazz apparel and such. As you can tell Henry is quite excited about the game. It was necessary to take pictures and blog about it as well. Thanks Uncle David for giving Henry one of the best baby gifts. He looks fabulous.

log cabin retreat

Thanks to McKay's mom, we were able to spend a night at the Anniversary Inn in Salt Lake. We stayed in the log cabin room. Don't really want or need to go into details, except it was so much fun. Everyone should go to a themed room hotel at least once in their life. And as I am a theme maniac, I believe we will go again.

love/hate

I don't really have an opinion about Burger King food per se. If that was the subject or angle I was going for, I could have an opinion. However, this is not about the food. I am secretly or not so secretly - just something you would know about me if you spent as much time with me as McKay does - into advertisement and marketing. Sometimes I feel that I should have gone into that and tried to make more money than being a world saving social worker - whatev. Anyway...so I have absolutely been creeped out with Burger King's King. He is freaky and like clowns in a toy chest eery, ect. I hate the King. I can't look at him, therefore, I have sort of hated Burger King commercials for like however long the King has been involved. OK except that awesome one when the soccer mom's run the King down. That is funny. So just recently I have run across the absolute top 3 most amusing commericals ever. And, yes, it is a Burger King commercial. For their new ad campaign steak burger or something. I can't even explain the commerical because it would ruin it. I even searched for 15 minutes via web to find the commerical to post the link - no such luck. I did, however, come across a large variety of people that hate the King as much as I do and feel he is creepy. Anyway, so now I kind of have this love/hate thing going for the Burger King ad people. Still hate the King though.
