Today I went to Walmart. And I liked it. Who knew? I've only been to Walmart a handful of times in my life, mostly because I've never lived by one. And all of these times were pre-baby. Today I was out discovering the new area that I live in and I happened upon a Walmart. I was looking for a specific Mothers Day item and thought I'd give Walmart a try. They didn't have it, but whoa, they have a lot of stuff! Did you know they sell fabric? By the yard? And all kinds of sewing notions, etc. They also sell canning jars which I will have to go back for because it's strawberry season around here. Really a great store, I think. Lots of cheap clothes, shoes, books, toys, all things kids. It's wonderful. And refreshing. I almost forgot I was in Orange County until I left the store and saw the parking lot full of Mercedes and BMWs. As happy as I was to rediscover Walmart, I must say, Target still has my heart.
It's been a little cool and rainy here so last night I decided to make corn chowder.
I absolutely love the smell of celery and onion cooking. It reminds me of my Mother, and Thanksgiving. The corn chowder came out pretty good, but I burnt my tongue so many times tasting it that I can't really be sure.
I am looking forward to going home this weekend for Mothers day to see my Mom and Sister. I told John for Mothers day I wanted to walk around Ikea, all by myself, for as long as I wanted. Every time I've gone it's been with Devan, which, needless to say ends with me rushing through to find what I know I need and leaving promptly after. However, since we live so close to one now we've been a lot. So I think I will have to think of a different Mothers day gift.
Anyway, time to get back to putting away my piles!
