I hate Wal-Mart

May 4th, 2005

I mean, they truly are evil. I try not to go there....ever.

But, Connor got a gift card from Aunt Marlene and Uncle John for his birthday, and we wanted to pick him up one of those baby walker things (that he can push and walk behind) We had one with the other three kids, but as the case with all of our baby stuff, after Dylan we thought we were "done" and gave it all away.

Anyway, after going out for lunch with Richard and the boys, we dropped Daddy off back at his office and headed to *groan*....Wal Mart. On our way to the toy department to snag the walker thingamajig, we cruised through the fabric/craft department. Whats this I see? Bernat must be discontinuing Cotton Tots because ALL of it was on clearance! Really...why would they DC such a nice (and affordable) yarn but keep all that acrylic CRAP? Really..I don't know what the deal is, there should be a BAN on all acrylic yarn as far as I'm concerned.

I wont say just how many I bought, but at that price I couldn't pass it up. You reading this Richard? I'm really really sorry...really I am :) But..but...this is such a great yarn to have stashed for baby gifts and stuff :) I kept myself from putting it ALL in the cart and left the solid colors there. It was oh so tempting though!

Around a year ago on this day..
