Walmart haters, please stand up.

Let me start out by saying I don't intend to write an entire post about people that hate Walmart for whatever reason but I do intend to get on my soap box for a couple minutes. In my Marketing Management class tonight we had the discussion about focus groups and everyone's "love" for Walmart. Now I guess you could call me cheap but I prefer thrify. CLEARLY, I love Walmart. Well I don't completely agree that they want to take over the world and treat their employees like crap, I still shop there. You still by Nike right? Okay relax, I know I'm about to get in over my head about Walmart and sweat shops in random countries. I won't get far, don't worry. But honestly, out of 20 people in my class about 5-8 people raised their hands in response to shopping at Walmart. A lot of people complained about it in terms of not really getting a good deal at Walmart in exchange for the aggravation. Whatever. Get over yourselves. Clearly you are getting your MBA because you don't make enough (now while there are plenty of other reasons for getting your MBA I would argue this is a big one). So maybe you should go to Walmart and save some money? Hahaha ok I just realized my Walmart soap box is worth nothing to you all so I will spare you. I honestly do not understand why I'm so passionate about Walmart. Maybe cause I went there yesterday? :)

It's very odd what's been going on with my blog the last couple days. I've felt very inclined to write whether it be recent experiences or just feeling like all the sudden I have something to say. I'm guessing some of my readers can't keep up! Well my target market of favorite people, Kristin apparently has a lot to say. Maybe I should change my blog name to Kristin, Apparently or Kristin, SERIOUSLY. Hahah. That would never work. Don't you all wonder where the name of my blog came from? I believe I explained that years ago on my blog. Don't bother looking for it, you will just grow tired of my writing extremely quickly and realize that I'm nuts. Well to spare you the long story, Pamela Anderson had an article in Jane (Jane was it? ehh) called Pam, Honestly. I enjoyed her brief debut as an columnist for the magazine. She spoke about life in the way I view it, as real as possible and with analogies and metaphors (makes perfect sense huh). Ya ya, I don't want to hear what you think of Pamela or hear what that makes you think of me.

It's too late again and I'm not sleeping well. What is that saying about being a dollar short? I think that's me right now. It's almost February. Can you believe it? I bought some items for my Mexico trip yesterday and trying on some cute shorts makes you really hate Colorado in the winter for a couple mins/hours/days. I love my Colorado but dang, if I'm not boarding or sitting by a fireplace with hot chocolate then SCREW this awful cold bitter weather. My brother did say it right though. Colorado is not cold compared to Russia. RUSSIA = COLD. Peace bitches!
