to hell for tires

Lady Blue - our 1987 Sentra - had a flat today...not a big suprise....so off to WM for some cheap replacements....if everyone isn't clear on this let me say it again....

I HATE WALMART

it makes me nervous and freaky and I hate it...but for a car we only spent a grand on, why would we even consider spending lots of money on tires?...especially since we've been bleeding money this week that we weren't planning on spending - ain't that the way it always is??

so the associate initially helping us walked off mid transaction because she HAD to go to break right that minute...the dude that came up after she left with no explanation was not pleasant, J almost got run over by a rampaging trash guy and they were basically all out of St. Patrick's day decorations....I won't even go into the condition of the bathrooms or the screaming child that pinched her finger in the door....we did, however, score some snazzy $1.97 flip flops which evened out the experience along with the fact that 2 new tires really do make a difference....

Big Daddy Walton can rest peaceful in his eternal slumber knowing that the masses are now forever at his mercy....
