SO.....I always know that my sister Abby will call sometime during the week and tell me about some great sale somewhere. It's great!!! Not that I take advantage of them but it's fun to know I guess. She was making fun of me because I just go to Wal-mart, buy a big tub of vanilla yogurt, a few cans of spaghetti sauce, and a couple of boxes of angel hair noodles and I'm settled for a couple weeks. ANWAYS, after work I went over to her house (Wednesday night girls night because Shane is at the church) and we ran over to Wal-mart because they were having a clearing out sale (or something like that). Abby had gone there earlier and had found all sorts of things to $1. $1.00???? YES! Socks, belts, purses, shirts....I'm not even kidding. So by the time we got there all the good things had been picked through for the most part so we decided to just wander around. We found Christmas earrings for 25 cents!!! Of course I bought some :-) Then we're just walking around and all the sudden Abby makes a sudden left turn and I can see her eyes narrow down as she was approaching the thing that causes her to have such agility....$3 BACKPACKS!!!!!! She bought one for next year for both of her girls and she picked one out that she thought I would like....and I DID! I bought that one plus another one. They're totally different so I couldn't choose. One of the them is a teal? Turquoise color? that slings over your shoulder. The other one is just a good old fashioned two strapper. Very cute. BUT DANG IT FEELS GOOD TO WEAR A BACKPACK!!! I wore it all around the store plus the next store!! It just feels good.......hmmmmm like a huge ole bear hug....CONTINUOUSLY!!!!!! It now is sitting in my car so when I'm feeling down, atleast my backpack will be able to comfort me :-) It all sounds so odd I know, but try it. You'll see.......
