This one is for Margot...Trip to Wal-Mart

I've become a snob and I admit it. However, I was born to former white-trash parents, so like Margot, it's in my blood.

I've been procrastinating in sewing the sashes for the Koenigsball because my little heart just isn't in it. I'm down to the 11th hour so to speak as the ball is next weekend. I (of course) wait until 7:00 on Sunday night to bust out the sewing machine and sashes.

Alas, the metal foot (that is absolutely necessay to using the machine) is MIA. I vaguely recall seeing it (separate from the machine of course) last weekend when I cleaned out the closet in the guest bedroom. I remember that I put it in a "safe place". It's in such a safe place, that after tearing my guest bedroom apart, I cannot find it.

I make a vain attempt to see if Wal-Mart carries the replacement feet. (I know it's possible to buy them separately, just few places are open after 7:00 on Sunday.) Wal-Mart's website is as icky as the store. I decide I'll just drive down to the Wal-Mart in Perris. I'm wearing gaucho pants and a CSUF Alumni t-shirt. I throw on some flip flops and decide that I'm appropriately dressed for an excursion to Wal-Mart.

I park near the entrance to the garden center because I consider this to be my secret bat cave entrance. The lines at the front of Wal-Mart are always way to long and the garden center line is usually tolerable. I head off to the sewing section and look in vain for the replacement foot that I know exists. http://www.singerco.com/accessories/presser_line.html?singerco_product_id=1337

Since Wal-Mart does not carry the replacement feet I am faced with a dilemma with 2 quick solutions: 1) go to jo-ann fabric tomorrow and get a replacement foot. 2) buy a cheap machine, "borrow" the foot, then return it. Which option do you think I chose?

Coming soon...Returning a sewing machine to Wal-Mart

Question for you (my readers):
Which part of this story makes me the most white-trash?

I can't believe you bought it and are returning it footless! That is big time WT! However, I still love you because I know at heart you are not as white trash as you made that story sound—Rachel

I must say that I too use the Bat Cave entrance at both Wallmart and Target.....although, it must be a real emergency for me to ever enter wallmart. I think I went once in 2006. So far I am Wallmart free in 2007.

WAIT WAIT WAIT!! I intend on putting the foot back onto the machine before I return it...geez Rach!

Yeah, I hate Wal-Mart. I only go there in rare emergencies or to purchase pee pads for my dog...they are quite inexpensive there!
