Fact: People of walmart is a real Internet site which captures pictures of people shopping at walmart, not exactly dressed in their Sunday best. Check it out http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/.

Okay..I told you in the last blog our adventure lasted 2 or 3 days. After we visited the Sweet Home quilters cottage in Conyers we decided we were going to make the pillow cases for the kids which were undergoing cancer treatments. (http://www.conkerrcancer.org/). Maryann, Liza, Luisa, and I made 19 pillows last night. (pic above)All different and all very cute. Anyway, we decided to stop at the walmart on the south side of Athens to do a little fabric shopping for our pillow cases. Little did we know that we were time-warped into "people of walmart". We ran into a few interesting characters to say the least. In the fabric department, the lady cutting the fabric was less than happy. She wanted to sit down and take a break after each time she cut a piece of fabric. While Luisa and I were waiting for Maryann to check out, Luisa said look at her name tag. Well, this lady was standing behind Luisa and facing in the other direction. There was no possible way I could look at her name tag without making it obvious. So, Luisa whispered to me her name...which I promptly said..."get the #$%^ out!" Okay...this is a good one I promise...the woman's name was Capucini....Yes you heard me right CAPUCINI. I really wasn't so shocked. I told Luisa a story about when I worked at a bank back in West Palm Beach, I worked with a woman named Lasagna. I just want to know one thing. What is up with people naming their kids after Italian food and beverages? I am Italian-American, we don't name our kids these things. Our children have regular names...Yes of course there are those stereotypical names like Anthony, and Ann Marie.. There is at least one Anthony in every family...In my family we have a lot of Al's...Anthony tends to be a middle name, but none the less, Anthony is in a name somewhere.

When we thought it couldn't get it couldn't get any funnier...the greeter checking my receipt said to me after she handed me back the receipt..."There is not time like now for the great taste of McDonald's." I have one question...What is going on? I wouldn't be surprised to see our pictures on the people of walmart site...I bet that is where that pic above came from...that walmart...In fact I don't even know if I was in walmart yesterday...it was so strange...I am beginning to think I imagined the entire day.
