The Purple (and Gold) Martins: Shopping

I'm sure that most of you know how much we love Wal-Mart and Sam's. Therefore, it might surprise you that we go to Wal-Mart about once every two months or so here. There is no Supercenter in the area and the regular Wal-Marts are so crowded/junkie/overrun that they really aren't worth the hassle.

We still hit Sam's about once a week but I do have a bitch...which is what spurred this post. Why is it that I find something that I really like at Sam's and I go back the next week and it is no longer carried. This week my complaint deals with peaches. As you know, we have been limiting our carb intake for a few months now. The way that we can do this for so long is allowing ourselves a cheat day once a week (usually Saturday). The thing that I crave the most during the week is fruit. Last week I bought a flat of white flesh peaches from Sam's. These are very likely the BEST peaches that I've ever eaten. I have been seeing these peaches for a few months now and decided to try them last week. I went back today to specifically purchase some more...no peaches anywhere in sight. Needless to say...I'm quite bummed. Now I'm sure that you (yes, you Momma) will point out that it is the end of peach season but I don't want to hear that...I want my damn white flesh peaches! (Can you picture me stomping my feet in the store???!!!???)

To soothe myself I stopped at Target on the way home. I bought a pack of peanut butter M&Ms to ease my pain. (Interesting side story...I've never been a huge M&M fan and an even less fan of peanut butter candy. One day Matt bought a bag of of peanut butter M&Ms and I was craving chocolate really bad so I ate a few...and now I really LOVE them!) I also am ready to get the party started next month in Vegas and found some totally cute shirts to go with the occasion. I know these pictures are hard to see. I was taking a picture of myself in the mirror. But I just love them and had to share...only $5 a piece at Target!
