How do you know you are a small town girl? When you are overly thrilled at the grand opening of a new food store in your town, that's how. We have our own ShopRite, doing the happy dance, the same one I did when I got out of the car at the brand new BJ's a couple towns away last weekend. Now please understand that when you have a 60,000+ square foot store that is all shiny and new coming to a town of 8,000 people on a good day, it IS exciting.
Yesterday we went to the grand opening party at ShopRite, because Carlos and about 2
0 other kids were singing there, and I was blown away. What a posh affair they had. There were people in uniforms walking around serving hor'dourves. The food spread they put out was what would be seen at a some really lavish affair, a chocolate fountain with strawberries so red and weighing at least a 1/4 pound each. Lamb chops with pesto dipping sauce, scallops wrapped in bacon, coconut shrimp, sushi. All sorts of desserts. A band, the kids singing. The decorations, so many red, white and blue flowers, like I said it was a posh affair. And YES I am excited! They officially opened to the public at 7am this morning, but I had a meeting this morning and some things to do at home today, plus therapy with Jewel so I will be food shopping there this evening. My kids think I have lost my mind, especially Amber. Amber has said to me no less than 20 times since yesterday, "It is just a ShopRite Mom, so what." Silly girl, so much to learn.

Now moving onto other important matters, American Idol. David Archuleta won the night in my eyes last night. I do love both Davids, but my heart belongs to little David. It belongs to little David so much so, that after AI, while watching Hell's Kitchen I voted for little David a few times. By a few I mean, oh say 100 or so. Now before you go thinking I am some sort of American Idol looney, please understand this is the first season ever I have become invested in this show, little David is the first contest ever that has stolen my heart for many reasons, and well it's not like I robbed my children of my time to vote or took off of work to vote, or lost sleep to vote. I voted while watching a show I usually watch at 9pm at night. Wow, I said a lot in defense of myself, babbling, a sure sign of loss of sanity, huh? I better quite down now. Peace!
