Not Paying Attention

I normally pride myself on being very observant. Last night was not one of those times!

On my way home from running errands, I decided to go by the store to get Caleb some diapers. I had been in Mesquite, so I decided to stop at a store on my way home. As soon as I walked in the door, I thought "That is funny, they are out of most of their produce!" I immediately noticed that there were big, HUGE signs all over the place that said Store Closing! Last 6 days! Everything marked down! I walked around for a second but was sickened by how disgusting the place was and turned around and walked out. On my way out of the store, I noticed signs all over the front doors and a huge sign hanging from the building announcing the closing/sale. I could not believe how I pulled up in front of the store and walked in not noticing the big signs everywhere. It struck me as really funny that I was so non-observant.

I wound up going to a Tom Thumb further down the road and getting the diapers and also some ice cream that I have been looking for for awhile. It was a successful trip!

That is funny Stephanie. We went into this same chain of stores in Abilene and they were closing in six days as well. So they did not have any diet coke left. I have to admit, we did see the signs on the door though :)
