All About Town

This week, I had the chance to travel around our fine little county!  While very little surprises me anymore, I did see a few things that I thought were worth mentioning.

A little known fact about me (well, maybe not so little known), is that I attract weirdness and maybe some weirdoes too.  I see the strangest things…that is the main reason I started taking a camera with me everywhere I go.

What I discovered this week…

There is a replica of Boss Hog’s car –horns and all--cruising around Surfside Beach. 
Oh…did I mention that the car is pink?  I tried to get a picture for you, but I had to think about my own safety over your happiness this time.  Don't worry, I am planning to stalk 544 for you this weekend.  I will not be able to rest until I snap a pic of that little beauty!

All Wal-Mart stores DO NOT CARRY the same items.
I guess that is not really news to you, or me, for that matter, but I would expect stores in the same area to carry similar product lines.   Unfortunately, just as in life, my expectations and assumptions are usually wrong.  However, I did luck up and find this fine specimen of chevron awesomeness.  Yes…I know chevron is just about played out, but I think this will add the perfect touch to some of my fall designs.


Some styles are better suited for me than others.
I found this little lovely at Wal-Mart.  Honestly, I can’t explain it, but this baby was calling my name and I couldn’t leave the store without it, especially since it was $3.88!  Not sure if it reminds me of my grandma or a flower shop or was just the best option that was available at the time, but it made me smile. 


Jealous, right?   

This, on the other hand, was best left at the store.  Not sure if it was in the wrong location or in the wrong department all together.  What do you really think I am going to be able to put in there?
 
 
Piece of advice…Just because they make something in your size, doesn’t mean you are supposed to wear it.

Chic-Fil-A offers FACE TO FACE ordering (and it is awesome).
I swung by Chic-Fil-a in North Myrtle for some yummy nuggets—really I just wanted the Polynesian sauce, but with sauce you must have a dipper, hence the nuggets. 


Anyway…when I pulled into the drive through, they had cones set out and these three poor pitiful employees were standing out in the heat taking orders. I assumed, incorrectly, that their drive through speaker must have been broken. 


A guy motioned for me to pull forward to the next sweaty attendant (actually she wasn’t sweaty at all in the 105 degree heat---would love to know her secret).
 

She took my order, handed me this cute little order form and told me to pull around.  The next gal, called in my order on her head seat.  She told me my total and I continued to move along the conveyor belt drive through.  I was met by this happy little lady that took my credit card and I continued forward.  Immediately, as I approached the pick-up window, my order, credit card and receipt shot out the window just like magic. 


Two minutes tops and I had been served.  AWESOME.  Well, except for one thing…

My car is apparently a sedan.
While the gal with the headset was phoning in my order, she told her partner I was in a white sedan.  Really?  A Sedan?  That sounds like something old women drive.  Why couldn’t she just say "In the Honda"?  I realize she was young and my car probably wasn’t hip enough for her, but she didn’t have to resort to calling my transportation a sedan.  Maybe I should have asked her for my senior discount too.

People actually smoke or huff of whatever they do with Hookah while driving.
I kid you not!  I saw a painter guy in his painter van doing Hookah going down 17.  That was a first for me.  I wanted a picture as proof, but once again worried about my own safety.  Keep your eyes peeled and you may just see it for yourself.

Please people…don’t ask me what Hookah is – ask your children – they can tell you! 

I also learned…

Some parents say the most repulsive things to their kids when they don’t think anyone can hear them.

Our road system sucks.

People drive like aliens abducted their car (and their brains).

I hate traffic.

I am always glad to go HOME to my FAMILY!

My wish for you this weekend is to make it fabulous.  We all have millions of things to get done in two short days, so make it count!

Remember: If you see me stalking you, you might just end up on my blog!

Lots of love!
