"You Will Never Go to Wal-Mart Alone Again"

I don't know about you, but I like to shop where the prices are cheap and the deals are good. So, in Marietta that means Wal-Mart. Believe it or not, the face wash Bobby likes is actually $2 cheaper at Wal-Mart than anywhere else. They have the corner on the cheap market. Nonetheless, I usually have to go it alone when shopping the Wal-Mart (WM)way. But, last night after dinner I convinced Bobby to go with me to make the trip shorter and because I just wanted his company. : ) So we hit the WMn around 10:30, after dark, which I would not recommend, but we needed a few things and that was the time we could go. It was actually crawling with people, none of which I would be friends with, but nonetheless crowded. We went home and went on our merry way.

This morning I have 2 missed calls on my cell after drying my hair and getting ready to head into the office. It's Bobby and his message says " Call me ASAP, you will not believe what I have to tell you." Naturally I am worried and thinking that something big has happened. My first thought was that Sara and Brian were engaged and I was trying to figure out how to respond to that. But, no, not that! Apparently around 12:30 last night, or early this morning, there was a shooting at that same Wal-Mart we had just been at. An hour and a half after we left shots were fired and at least 5 cars were hit, no one was injured but OMG. Bobby read me the article and concluded it with , "You will never go to Wal-Mart again without me." Very scary but sweet that he worries about me.

The good news is that isn't even my preferred Wal-Mart, so I won't be sad to not return there!
