can this be oxnard?

so, i went to Von’s last week to do a little grocery shopping. we get out of the car and up to the door — my 40 lb. appendage (ella + baby carrier)  on my forearm and skipping 3-year-old trying to keep up.

what do my eyes behold but brand spanking new grocery carts. be still my heart! could it be possible? no more rusted, crooked driving, grimy handled, disease infested carts that make me cringe every time i put the kids in. what must be happening?

i go inside the doors and i am dumbfounded. what happened to the Von’s i knew? i suddenly feel out of place. dimmed and track lighting, fancy kiosks, a sleek new produce section, this is almost too classy to be a grocery store. the place was remodeled. it almost felt as if i were in thousand oaks. almost.

does this mean that i have dress up now when i go shopping? wear make-up and stuff?

and i was just getting comfortably humble saying that i lived in the ‘nard. 🙂
