Buying a Christmas wreath.......

Today I made a trip to buy a wreath for my front door to my home...oh and I needed deodorant...can't have smelly armpits..so, I drive to walmart....cause basically that is the ONLY place I know of around these parts to purchase such joyous decor....as I stroll through the store seeing all the crap they have...man they have everything....I find the deodorant I like and get 2...no thats not one for each pit...I just don't want to run out without a backup....I'm funny that way...these things are like $4 buck each..I better not have moist pits at that price....ok..back to the story..the wreaths....I find them at last...yep, all the way in the home and garden center...waiting to be ripped from the shelves and put on someones door or window...of some nuckleheads car grill...have you seen that before? It would be my luck my truck would overheat due to the wreath blocking the radiator....thats all I need....so I pick the most joyous of them all wreaths...it was like $20 bucks......but....how do I attach this to my door you ask...I had to ask too.....she was a sales clerk on a ladder, hanging more joyous decor....she got down and walked like 6 feet behind me and says this is what you need...it was a rubber suction cup with a hook to hold the joyous decor, I mean wreath to my door...my door has a large oval of glass and this works great for that..not sure about solid wood or metal doors...it should work...Now, you thought this story was finished huh....OH NO...remember I said I made a trip to walmart to buy D.O. for B.O. and a wreath aka joyous decor....Ha...that would be too easy...walmart has a plan...it's a conspiracy..they want us to spend every dollar we have.....it's a vicious plan, putting crap everywhere for us to bump into causually and teasing us with sale sale sale....The plan worked...like crytonite to superman and doughnuts for Homer Simpson...When it was all said and done...I bought a bed in a bag set for my bed at $90 and memory foam pad for my bed at $70 and a pillow to match the bedding at $15 and a couple long sleeve t-shirts and a pair of cool jeans for $30 total (bargin of the day) some softdrinks, AA batteries for my flash...I have a wedding to shoot in 2 weeks...and a little bottle of oust spray for my truck..like I really needed this..I have fabreeze and a big can of oust at home that would work fine...but I had to have the small size with 70 sprays...see what I mean..It was walmart...all said and done I spent $280  oh and 40 cents....they are evil..pure evil...I go in for a wreath and deodorant and now I feel like curling up in the fetal position and weeping....I've been violated...and mind you...these are not christmas gifts....oh no..I still have to go back sometime soon...I did buy some christmas gifts online...but not walmart.com....So let this be a warning to you...beware!!!!!

I've always thought WalMart should just charge a 'cover charge' at the door - like a bar. Go ahead and get fifty bucks out of the way right up front- on the way in. You know you're going to spend at least that much anyway. This way it wouldn't be so painful at the cash register!
