MyPoints Revisited
I've talked about the MyPoints program before, but I feel the need to bring it up again. I really don't want my friends to miss out on something that can be a great blessing.
The main way to earn points is by shopping online. Since I don't do much of that, I'm glad there are other earning opportunities. Points can be earned by reading emails, taking surveys, searching on the web, and my personal favorite: using coupons which can be printed off the MyPoints website.
I've been a member of MyPoints for 11 years, and I have accumulated over 44,000 points. Over the years, I have redeemed those points for many different gift cards which were used to buy birthday or Christmas gifts for Sam or to treat us to a meal at a favorite restaurant. A few weeks ago, I had enough points to order a gift card for Red Lobster. Thankfully, that card arrived in the mail a couple days before Mother's Day, and Sam and I were able to enjoy a wonderful meal and a great time together.

Garick Zikan comes to my Walmart again
My faithful followers may recall my post on March 14, 2010 about Garick Zikan's shopping trip to my Walmart. On that visit, he earned an A+ as a model shopper.
He was back again last night and came through Register #13 where I was working. I am sad to say that his grade as a shopper dropped to an A-. Mr. Zikan was guilty of one of my pet peeves. Once again, he had used a hand-held basket, and when he got to the register, he placed the basket on the belt and left it there for me to empty.
Now, I don't mind emptying baskets. In fact, I've been known to come around and help customers empty their carts. The problem is that I am so short, and the belt is so high, that I have to strain to reach over the sides of the basket to get the items out. My fellow cashiers who are also vertically challenged agree with me that this is indeed a pet peeve.
That being said, Mr. Zikan was friendly and engaging and an all-around pleasant shopper. That is why his grade did not drop to a B.

Happy Mother's Day to me!!!
For the past seven years, on Mother's Day, I've focused on missing my mom, getting all depressed in the process. Well, this year, I decided that Mother's Day was MY day. I took Sam out to eat at Red Lobster, and we had a great time, not to mention fabulous food!
Here we are, waiting outside until a table became available.
Here's my meal: combo of wood-grilled salmon, snow crab legs, and broccoli.
