New blog format and a random story

Thanks to Amy Nickerson we now have a really cute blog format and new header! Thank you Amy! I am completely clueless when it comes to doing stuff like that so it was great that Amy was willing to figure it out for me! :)

Random story of the day:

Heidi and I went grocery shopping at Crest today. I got all my items and we headed to the checkout. The checker was friendly and making conversation and a woman came up and started bagging my groceries and then started talking to Heidi. Then as I was paying she asked if Heidi could have a balloon. At first, thinking... "I guess" she began to say.... "that big balloon?" I looked over at a GIANT balloon. All I could say was, "uhhhhh" and before I could actually say anything she yelled at a guy and said, go get that balloon for this little girl. She brings a big red balloon to Heidi and Heidi just stares at it, almost like she's scared. So the lady says, I guess she doesn't want it. (I'm secretly relieved and say... oh well... say thank you Heidi!) Then Heidi says "I want a yellow one!" Ha ha... so the lady yells at the guy again and says, "go get the yellow one for her!" Meanwhile, I'm starting to get embarrassed and the people behind me in line are all looking at me and laughing, as I have this slight smile, but yet embarrassed look on my face. The checker says, that's a really big balloon and I'm thinking the same thing... wondering if it will even fit in my car. Then another guy that works there says that they put a special kind of helium in it that makes it last for months. Great... The lady comes back with a huge yellow balloon and says, "you better tie it to your purse so you don't lose it!" So I tie it to my purse and as we walk out to the car, it keeps hitting me in the head and I just know everyone in the parking lot is staring at me. I am surprisingly able to shove it in my car and it takes up the whole passenger side. Here's a couple of pics so you can see how huge it is. I ended up tying it to Heidi's play shopping cart at home so she could push it around the house because it is quite strong and I doubt she could even hold very well or for very long without it floating to the ceiling.
