I read the most awesome book recently called, The Noticer. Author Andy Andrews says that, "The Noticer is rooted in the belief that our time on earth is a gift to be used wisely and one of the best ways to use that gift is by noticing those who have made an impact in our lives". That's what I hope to do this year. I want to notice EVERYTHING for 365 days - All of the God moments in my life - All of the friends and family that surround me - and as always, every bit of the funny that goes on in this world. Hope you enjoy and YOU become a noticer too.

3 Important Lessons from Wal Mart

Day #181:
Yesterday was incredibly busy. After work, had to run to church, then the tanning bed, then to the Wal Mart to get stuff to bake Studley a 50th birthday cake. This is when I noticed 3 important things at Wal Mart.
#1: Whereas I don't think we should be discussing the day's stock trades with babies, I also REALLY don't think baby talk is necessary. Especially when the kid can't even talk and doesn't care that you are going on and on and on and on. I was ready to punch the lady in line behind me right in the face.
#2: Why in the WORLD do people find it necessary to scream at whoever is working at the time? Really now. This guy came in at 8:30pm and was mad that Tire and LUbe wasn't open. Apparently somebody either gave him the wrong time or the wrong days and he was yelling at the night manager. I also wanted to punch him in the face. I'm sure when that poor Wal Mart man went to work, he really didn't want to be yelled at for something he didn't do. Besides that, you shouldn't wait until 8:30pm to go to Tire and LUbe anyway.
#3: I will ALWAyS enjoy running full speed through the parking lot and jumping on the back of the buggy before flying down a hill. That's just fun no matter who you are.

Today? I bought new shoes. :0)
