Last night when I was at Wal-Mart walking out to my car, a very overweight woman waved me down. She apologized for bothering me, but asked if I could help her out for a moment. She said that the car next to hers had parked too close and she was unable to open her door wide enough to get in. She was parked in a handicapped spot, and the car next to her was parked so close that it was actually over the line into her spot. I agreed to help her out and backed out so that she could climb in. I tried to be nice about it, as I didn't want to make her feel more embarrassed than she already was.

I walked over to my car and as I was backing out, I heard her speaking again. The owner of the offending car had arrived and the woman was fussing her out. The owner of the car was a young woman, probably a teenager. She actually rolled her eyes and just turned around and put her back to the woman. Quite rude. Her poor parking created a serious problem for that woman.

I love our neighborhood. It turns out that we live quite close to a historic district. On Friday the boys and I walked to the Garland Theater to watch a free showing of "Surf's Up". We've also gone to The Milk Bottle for a yummy lunch and on Saturday I walked half a block to get my haircut at a local shop. The whole block is made up of locally owned shops (even two bead shops, Wendi!) It's a fun place.
