Entirely worth it

I dread trips to MalWart. But this, well, it made the whole florescent light, sensory overload, having to interact with people, on the brink of disaster three year old, wobbly cart, how did I just spend $145, so help me God I am never coming here again event entirely worth it.

And it's a whole lot bigger than it looks, okay?

This puddle was directly behind my car. It was lovely trying to step around it while attempting to load up my trunk with the whatever that I had bought. The whatever was heavy. My car was muddy. And the space that was left between this... formerly-alive puddle... and my car, and the cart with my kid, was interesting to say the least. Meanwhile some old guy was washing the windshield of the car next to us, and then he way-too-cheerfully said, "Gotta take care of the boss!" as he jumped in a different car and drove away. But that's beside my point.

I don't know what my point is.

What type of bird, exactly, has three legs and one beak?

Does MalWart clean their parking lot, like, ever?

And why did I never share this creation from last year? It's my favorite.

Maybe it was a bird who was squished while feasting on the remains of another bird? Cause the three legs is .. odd.

It's still cool. And icky. And cool. :D And makes me think I should look for something similar around here. For school. For the kids. Make them touch it and stuff. (With gloves on, of course.) Today, an old hornet nest with baby hornets inside. Tomorrow.. rotting skeletons. Sounds perfect.

And.. you got out of WalMart without spending $200+?!? Tell me your secret!! ;)

Hi Jess! Stay safe out there, particularly as Christmas shopping seems to bring out the ultimate crazy in people. :) Hope you & family are all well.

Eek. Makes me glad I haven't been to Wal-mart for almost a year. I'm scared to think of what might be lurking in the parking lot at the Williston store!

I seriously once saw a dead duck in the walmart parking lot. Not a squished one as if it got run over...just a dead duck. If my memory is correct it had 2 legs and one beak.

A three-legged bird? I'm sure weirder things have shopped at Wal Mart. Haven't been there since the baby was born (because, really, I haven't been anywhere) - and strangly enough, my budget hasn't taken the hit we all think it will if we give up the awful place. Your first paragraph describes it all too well.

Your sister's poster? The best.thing.ever.
