Adventures In Walmart

So. Walmart. It's an okay store, right? Good place for cheap things, when you want to get a whole bunch of random stuff at the same place. Sure, they use sweatshops, but whatever...

I went for some playdo and some leggings. I came out with an adventure. Who would have thought that so many random things could happen in one 1/2 hour trip to walmart?

So, first off, I run by the $5 movies, because, currently ALL MY MOVIES are in storage, in Utah, serving no purpose. And what do I find? WILLOW!!!! Bahahaha... anyone who took Mythology with Mr. Wilson knows what I'm talking about. It's this crappy 80's epic princess/castle/magician-style movie where the main character is a little person and it's cheesy and it was supposed to teach us "The Hero Cycle" (which it did). But, Mr. Wilson was in court or really sick for like, two weeks, and we had different subs, so we watched the maybe 2-hour movie in probably 8 CLASS PERIODS. You would not believe the number of times we saw certain scenes; there are some that are burned into my memories. Which is all made some much more fun by the fact that it's this RIDICULOUS movie. Seriously. Ever want some bad movie entertainment? Watch Willow.

Then, I was walking past the little girl's clothes section on my way to the socks (yes, I have a sick obsession with socks, it's a problem), and I saw this little girl night gown WITH BATMAN SYMBOLS ALL OVER IT. Why can't I be a little girl who wears night gowns again? I seriously mourned the not-being-able-to-fit-into-it's-awesomeness.

So then I was cruising down to the toy area (which was ridiculously hard to find), and it was totally creepy. Not only was it deserted, but the isles were super long and low-lighted. It was like the perfect horror movie setup: dark, flickering lights... over all the rows of princess-wear... I was convinced I was going to get jumped, right there next to the Barbies and Hotwheels. Thankfully, I got my Playdo and split before anything could happen. But if anything DOES ever go down in Walmart, my money is on it happening in the toy section. Just saying.

Also, randomly, there were a lot of preggo ladies at Walmart that night. Don't know why, especially since it was the one in Oceanside. I mean, if it were Utah, I'd understand. But I was walking around and as I passed the home-decor isle, I found this cute little pregnant lady with a cute sweater with her husband picking out drapes. I was like, AWWWW... that's what I want in a few years--- being all cute with my hubby, picking out drapes to our first little house with a bun in the oven. It was a ridiculously cute scene. And you know how some girls look so darn cute when their pregnant? Others tend to look way wiped out and dingy and in a bad mood, but on some women, it's totally adorable. Or maybe I'm the only one that notices such things...

Dang! There was something else, but I can't remember. Oh well. It was an epic day at Walmart. Hooray for random day-to-day silliness.
