Just Sayin' - It's a Vivas Thing!

So the Smart One and I went shopping yesterday. We’re gearing up for Easter and needed some stuff.

Actually, we haven’t been shopping in a while and since we were out of napkins, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry soap, etc….like LITERALLY out of them, we decided we had no choice but to go to wally-world.

It started out pretty good until we got to the section where you purchase things to help you wash your clothes AND make them smell good.

And herein lies the problem…

They have apparently discontinued the brand of laundry soap that we use. I’m not sure if it’s just wally world that discontinued it, or the world as we know it, but…it means I either run around looking for it, or I find myself another soap. This kind of sucks since the Drama Queen has allergies and seems to be having a relapse of skin sensitivity right now, so…

…I start to look for a new soap.

And then I realize that not only has my soap been discontinued, but apparently they are also no longer carrying the Bounce bar! I love that thing!

Now I’m faced with another dilemma…do I run around now looking for soap and a dryer thingy, or do I just face the fact that I need to re-think the way I do laundry?

And this is where it leads into a lengthy discussion in the laundry aisle of wally world…

Why, oh why, can’t the manufacturer of laundry soap ALSO be the manufacturer of dryer sheets and fabric softener?

I mean, if that were the case, the laundry soap would have the SAME SCENT as the dryer sheet, right? Wouldn’t it make sense to purchase the soap and sheets of the same brand and same smell?

Because really….I just want it to smell pretty and fresh.

So, I after a lot of discussion and debate on this subject with my son, we finally decided on the following:

Tide Spring Meadow and Snuggle Blue Iris. We’re hoping they are somewhat similar so that we don’t end up with our clothes smelling weird.

I still think that Tide needs to make some dryer sheets…or Snuggle needs to make some laundry soap.

Actually, I think that Wally World needs to stop discontinuing my other stuff so I don’t have to deal with something new.

I’m Just Sayin’

Cause you see how change affects me these days….

I’m thinking of starting a new category on my blog and welcome you all to join in. I’m not sure what to call it, but this crazy head of mine often has things just pop up…and I wonder if anyone else does this….or my kids will just pop up with a questions and have no idea why they are asking….

For instance….

What does a rainbow look like to color blind people? (This was a topic of great discussion with my family this week.)

Why can’t certain people just sit quietly? Like…do they really just adore the sound of their own voice?

Jelly beans….what’s the purpose of making totally disgusting flavors? I mean, why would you spend money on something you couldn’t possibly eat without vomitting?

Why in the old days did they walk around with pots on their head instead of using their arms?

What was God thinking when He made certain animals? I mean, did He just say, “Let me see how ugly I can make this thing?”

And then there’s pet peeves….

Why can’t people just walk straight? I mean, it drives me nuts when I’m trying to walk in public place and I can’t go around the person in front of me, and they just walk all over the place and so you have to slow down and really watch what they are doing because they obviously don’t know how to walk in public….just saying….

There should be a class on how to put the toilet paper roll on….and then another class on how to put the toilet paper roll on properly. Everyone should know its over, not under…

Pencils…why do the maker of pencils make them to where you can’t sharpen them just a little bit? Instead, you have to waste half of the pencil just to get the lead to a point because it keeps falling out? Or the wood on one side just won’t go away?

Literally….this one cracks me up…I just look at them and want to say, “Literally? I do not think you know what that word means…literally!”

And last for today, but certainly not the least….do not put your butt where I plan to put my food! Sit in a chair, not on the table.

There now…I feel better…what about you?
