Some days my lawn is watered, dinner balanced and square, my closet is organized, and my bed is made. On days like today, it feels like I’m on the set of a soap opera in a scene that is too unbelievable to be real and the script writing is horrible. Except it’s not a cheesy soap opera, it’s my life.
In a scene only believable in a novela, I open my gym bag after my shower and realize I forgot to pack my jeans for work. This wouldn’t be so bad if I hadn’t already forgot my entire work attire yesterday. Racing down the freeway, I wrack my brain trying to think of store open at 6:55am. I’m left with one solution: Walmart.
As the script of my life would have it, I’m also giving announcements at church tonight AND introducing my husband who is our guest speaker this evening. So I’ll be the one in the ill-fitting denim from Walmart, making announcements, and exiting the stage like a soap opera diva.
[Back of hand to forehead, head slightly tilted back, long sigh] Auvoir, goodbye! I shall return at a later time. But until then, know I’m always in love with you! [Air kiss, exit stage left]
My life,
B
Bianca, here in Nowhereville EVERYBODY wears Wallmart clothes. Sadly I’ve become one of them :(.. there’s NOTHING else here.. Besides with your looks you’ll rock them jeans! I’ve seen you at your worst and you still look your best 😉
Oy. You should have made Matt bring you some pants from home! But hey, at least you can keep the Walmart jeans in your trunk in case of an emergency. I hear that's what Moms do. Well…you know, for their toddlers. Same difference.
Aww… no one will be paying any attention to your clothes, Chica. The love of God pouring out of you — THAT'S what they'll see and remember!! Loves to you, my BB!
And…….what an amazing life you are Blessed with!
Are Walmart jeans that bad?
I saw a documentary about how Walmart is killing small-town American and many of the items sold are under market value in third-world countries. Ever since then, I've boycotted them. But today at 6:51AM I found myself buy jeans… on clearance… because I REFUSE to give Sam Walton my money.
straight recently reinstalled the operating modus operandi, and it took a part of things in identical place
Sometimes Walmart is all there is and it has saved me on occasion. My friends boycott for the reasons mentioned above but I hear they employ seniors.
Anyhow, always keep a spare outfit in the car cause you never know. Laugh about it, its kind of funny.
P.S. The girls in the novelas would never shop at Walmart.
I have to admit: they are super comfy 😉
are they pajama jeans? haha
I was gonna ask that! lol Pajama jeans, awe so tempting…NOT!
I am having one of those days, too.
Also, I dislike shopping at WalMart for the above mentioned and more. However, the only grocery stores within a 45 minute drive of my house are WalMarts.
I feel you! Thanks, Rob!
I agree! Although the picture in my head is kinda funny!
Thanks for making me smile today x
i'm not sure if you're aware of how offensive your "novela" whine is. some families &/or even single individuals may not be as fortunate enough to shop at "high ended" stores so that when they are speaking at church they're not self concious about the "ill fitting" denim wrapped around their pampered thighs.
i definitely agree that having to purchase anything at walmart has it's downsides because of what it's doing to its workers, middle america, etc. and i'll even buy that it is something you're concsious about. however, trying to shoot that out as an excuse / reason at last minute is pretty weak. no where in your actual story / post does sam walton come to mind, nor is there even the slightest allusion to him.
what i actually get & got out of your story is that you're a little wrapped up in yourself and a bit shallow.
forgive me if my comments come off as harsh, but i am extremely dissapointed to read this – especially since it's coming from someone who openly represents God, His love, His work and is trying to work for His people. I understand you're only human, but being so caught up in the fact that you were left with no other alternative but to wear cheap, ill fitting walmart denim makes me wonder if you're sort've missing the point of what God and doing God's work is truly about.
I have to agree with Cyn. I was thinking the same thoughts as I read this post. After reading this post, and this blog in general, I have to ask… is all of this about God or about Bianca? It sounds like you are extremely self-centered and self-consumed. Do you really think that highly of yourself that you would think that everyone at church really cares about what you look like as you give the announcements? I mean, really. There is so much shallowness here. I am being completely honest here. I have seen so much carnality in this blog, all "in the name of love". It is obvious you love yourself very much and thrive on the praise most of your blog readers give you daily about everything from your looks to your words. But really, be honest with yourself and ask yourself what this is really about. God or Bianca? Just the fact that you have been married for months and won't change your last name on your sites shows you care very much about "who" you think you are. By the way, God does not care about your jeans, He cares about the heart. I think people can be offended by your looking down upon certain brands of clothing. You called them "ill-fitting" before you even mentioned Sam Walton. Please stop fooling yourself.
Whoa. I'm so confused and saddened at my miscommunication. I totally will blame my potshot at my inability to think straight due to lack of sleep and chronic exhaustion. I have three jobs.
By "ill-fitting" I mean, too short in the length of the jean and too tight in the waist. They were on clearance for $14.57.
Yes, God looks at my heart. Your heart. Our heart. And for this, I'm happy. But 1 Samuel 16:7 says that man looks at the outward and only God can look at the outward. I want to make sure that the outward is a proper reflection of the inward. If they are too low, too tight, too something, there will be misconceptions. I want to represent God and my husband well.
Wish I could drive down the 5 and see you guys. God is writing a beautiful story in you both!
Make sure you have your video editors leave the announcements in tonight's message for future download!! hehe! kidding…sorta!
girl, flaunt those jeans and everyone will notice the attitude instead of the denim 🙂 i think it's great that you took a panic moment in the day and made it funny instead of stressful. God is pleased with you, B.
Hoping it went well!! I am sure you handled it fine.
You did an awesome job, and you looked amazing… I always look forward to hearing you speak!! You are inspirational and I love reading your blogs!!! I feel bad for the two ladies above who don't understand your humor, but I totally get you. I love how you talk about yourself, you let us know that NO ONE is perfect, we all make mistakes….. Only some of us can admit were wrong or admit were only human….. Others can sit there waiting for you to make a mistake and point it out for all to see, but if they don't like it they shouldn't fallow you……
I am convinced you make Walmart jeans look go-oood. When do we get to see ’em?!
