walmart: kingston (by: brandi)

so today i decided to venture to kingston. Kingston is a larger, more "modern" city located across the Hudson river from where we are. it reminds me of the eastwood mall area. but a lot less scary.

There you will find the Hudson Valley Mall and Target and Walmart. There is also a Michael's and a Linens & Things as well as a Best Buy, Burlington Coat Factory, Dollar Tree and JoAnn's Fabric. Also some place thats like a HUGE outdoor equipment store called Gert's camping. or something like that.

but this walmart was CRAZY. i mean. really.

it was Thursday at 3:00 in the afternoon and there were people EVERYWHERE. it was like going to the one on lakeshore on a saturday afternoon. except it was THURSDAY.

and we have found that northern people get in the way. they don't notice that you are standing near them trying to get by. they just walk all in front of you. and so do their kids. and they don't walk on the right side of an aisle, they take up the whole aisle. its ridiculous.

needless to say, my trip to walmart was very short.

then i went outside and my tire was flat, so i had to go blow it up. then i went and bought some yarn to make a blanket (for something to do!), and then went to Target to get some much needed egg crates for the beds.

then i paid a dollar to go back across the bridge.

if it cost a dollar to cross bridges at home, i would probably go to walmart a lot less.

and our roads would be a lot nicer...

now i am waiting for my turn to use the kitchen.

and you would be happy to know that i went to the gym here on campus yesterday and tuesday. i didn't go today, but i will go tomorrow.
