SUPERstore....is it really??

In my opinion, they should never have named the Superstore the Superstore. It should be called something like...Frustration Mart, or Cuddie Mart (at least in Brandon), Anyway, as most of you know, the Superstore is my least favorite place to shop, but yet I frequent it a couple times a week. Why, because I am still of Mennonite persuasion and love a good deal. So today I went to pick up a few things. First of all, having 300 m/hr winds and pushing a cart through a less than smooth parking lot, got me undies all in a gather. Then i get out of the terrain to realize that again, I gotta bum deal on a cart. I just had a few things, so hoping this "lemon" would make the trip, I continued on my way. Well as I am wheeling along at usual "shopping" pace, the wheel falls right off. Sat there for a moment, bit my tongue, thought about what i should do. Well I decided I would put my Heavy Diesel Mechanic skills to good use and just quickly try to assemble it, at least to get me through this shopping trip. While fixing the wheel, my little Cabrera decides it would be fun to pitch some 'products' I had already picked up. So he goes for the pitch, and thank goodness old Cito Gaston was there to make the catch of none other than one of my femine products. Red is a beautiful shade on me, Don't you think?




I felt like just leaving the cart right in the middle of the store, but again, Mennonite persuasion, I would have lost my Heartland Credit Union token.

I hope I never run into that man again. Although, we both had a pretty good chuckle.

Oh whata feelin......Toyota


Walking through the streets of Brandon's hood after midnight....ya, just not the same as New York. We weren't nippling (correction: NIBBLING) on pizza by the slice either, we were just trying to make it back.....alive!!!!!!

Well I had a "different" kind of weekend. Not "different" bad, "different" good. Let me share with you some of my experiences. Well Friday night, i was driving in my car, headed west. I was being blinded by this strange western glow. Not sure what it was, I swerved the car to the side of the road to gain some composure. For a brief moment, I wondered "is this it, the end of the world! Is this the apocalypse, armageddon?" Well after thinking about it, I realized that this light in the west was merely a beautiful Manitoba SUNSET. My goodness, how long had it been since I have been out in the evening to see the sunset. Too long I guess. I got back on the road and carried on to my destination.

Another freakish event...I was in Tim Horton's after midnight on a Saturday night!!! You bet, I was up past midnight and thanks to "Tom Collins" and "Tim Horton", I was even awake and still going strong. Yippie!

After it was all said and done, and my little excursion of "single hood" and "freedom" was up, I was good and ready to go back to the norm. Being a mother. I missed the little hoodlum very much and could hardly wait to see his little smilin face. And that it was. Smilin away until the wee hours of the evening, perky as a lark in spring, spry as a barn yard chicken. That was my ray of sunshine, my little son set, and I can enjoy that son set every single night.




Just remember...the grass maybe greener on the other side, but I bet the water bill his higher!!!

By the way, Sawyer was more impressed with this than it appears.

ATTENTION PENNER'S

Ok, this is an extreme SHOUT OUT to the Penners. Not the kind of 'shout out' as in 'hey, how you doin', but rather 'HEY HEY UP DATE YOUR BLOG'. It has been 7 1/2 months and we, the faithful blog checkers, are officially making a complaint to the Blog Constabulary. It is unacceptable. Now, with this said, I have taken the liberty to suggest some possible blogging ideas that you could use.

Firstly, your dog. Did you or did you not tell us that she got a foppish hair cut? Well then blog about it!!!








Second of all, did your most resplendent sister come for a visit...? Well maybe that is not so blog worthy, but whatever....blog about it!!















Thirdly, did you or did you not go on a excursion to the "everything is bigger" State of Texas?



So really now, your life has been pretty exciting lately. I mean come on, look at what some of us find blog worthy. Heaps of cigarette butts, poopers, bloody shoes etc....lets see some bloggin girl!!!
