the pear shaped toooooooooaaaadd!!!


Okay okay...this has nothing to do with toads OR even the movie Cinderella...today during lunch my brother and I were passing the time and one of his former employees came along to visit. This young man shared with us how he'd been promoted and we all were smiling and thinking happy thoughts for him. Then he shared something that was entirely too endearing to me and also restored my hope that there is still good on this side of the sky...he was talking about his interview to get his promotion and how he wasn't sure he had anything to wear so his woman took him to Walmart and bought him a new outfit...


Walmart.


For a year now I've been wishing for a Jimmy Choo bag. I have a knock-off Chanel bag that I enjoy just because it LOOKS like luxury and I bought a Chanel scarf at Goodwill for 75 cents because it says CHANEL on it...this young guy was so thrilled that he'd gotten a new outfit at Walmart. He said "you should have seen me...you wouldn't even recognize me" and we all chuckled.
My values are somewhat skewed from time to time.

Unfortunately that is true of all of us! I wish it weren't, but it is human . . .
