When we went to Walmart today, Vince went one way and I went the other way. I was heading to the pharmacy. While I was waiting 15 minutes after my booster, he decided to get his meds filled so I was able to leave the pharmacy before he had his meds. I told him I’d be in the grocery area.
I was almost done shopping when he came up behind me and said “I almost never found you. All the old ladies have the same hair color, the same hair style and the same type clothes! I kept thinking I’d found you and it wasn’t you!”
All the old ladies? Vince has such a way with words!
If I wasn’t too lazy to keep it up, I’d go to the salon and get some fancy, smancy, expensive color job on my hair and tell him I did it to make it easier for him to find me in Walmart!

My DH has to shower, shave and put on clean clothes before he goes to Lowe’s, the Depot, or anyplace we go. He is very vain. Who looks at you in WM? Must say I do when their pants are under their buns, I do not enjoy that. Or all but the nipples showing on these young girls We have 2 WalMarts near us. The one in Palm Springs is full of low lives and I mean low. Scary. I will no longer go there as they have gun fights, steal cars, steal purses in the parking lot…I will not shop there. Their produce is crappy and I am very picky about my meat. So I go to the one in Palm Desert if I have to. The clientele is better, not so many low lives. Maybe I am a food snob. We like the fresh veggies and fruit, and at least choice beef unless I am cooking in the crock pot. I am picky, I am an excellent cook. J’s mom was an excellent cook too but did not cook anything fancy, which I enjoy doing occasionally. Lots of midwest fried food and I learned to cook that way but love roasted, bbq’ed, sautéed and Mediterranean type food best. I do very well with Mexican and Italian food too. I cook at home almost always but at 76, I do enjoy going out when I do’t feel like cooking.

I thought I was dressed quite nicely. Hair curled, makeup, bra, nice shoes, nice shirt, good jeans. That’s about as good as it gets for me.

I just had a vision of you in one of those silly hats with a big rooster on top to wear at walmart! Then would Vince want to be seen with you??lol

Honestly . . I can’t say that I’ve ever had to walk up to men and take a second or third look to know if it’s Vince. The green shirts with holes on them and Crocs usually make it very easy to pick him out of a crowd! 🙂
Of course, if he would bring his cell phone with him, a simple call or text to say “What aisle are you on?” would solve his problem, which seemed way more or a major issue to him than it did to me.
Twyla says
Why do they have cell phones?? Irritates the fool out of me that he doesn’t bring it into the store. Or turn it on when he leaves the house.

Exactly! Several times when we’re shopping in Walmart, I’ll get a call from a strange number and it’s Vince after having borrowed a phone from an employee or even another customer. Yesterday he had to have a medical text done and I got a call from the lady at the hospital telling me he was ok and headed home. Yes, frustrating.

you could always get some brightly colored hair chalk that would wash out and put it in when you go to walmart.

I was laughing reading your blog – immediately wondered how many ‘old ladies’ that Vince startled when he walked up to them or starting talking to them, thinking it was you! I’m with you – always in jeans, but I put on a bra & fix up a bit when we go out (even to Wally World). When at home its no bra & bare face as I can’t be bothered. Hubby would rather I was comfortable, anyway.

Some days I walk out to meet the Fed Ex or UPS guy. They’re young and I know I probably scare them half to death. I do try to comb my hair but if I don’t use the curling iron, it reverts back to the bed head look within minutes. I always put on a bra and makeup if I’m leaving the house though I will say mask wearing makes it pretty easy to go out without much makeup.
