The Road To Sams Club And Kind Of Sort Of A Domestic Goddess


Mr. Joe asked me if I wanted the Strightest Way or the Shortest Way to Sam's Club. We Opted to go the Stright Way to Sam's Club and the Shortest Way on the Return Trip.

The Stright Way goes right through Gordonsville which is a ticky tacky kind of town which I am used to. There is another town called Rucusville which is also a ticky tacky town. The Road finally leads to Charlottesville which is a Big City which I am NOT used to.


I will be a Cashier at Sam's Club. I will miss the physical work that I did in the Wal-Mart Meat Department but after seeing the way the Stocking is done at Sam's Club. I'm GLAD I am not stocking there. Although it might be interesting to learn to use a forklift. Joe commented on how I would just toss products in the cart. He should have seen the way I used to sling those big boxes of Merchandise around. Oh Well! Life on Life's Terms. It is always good to learn different jobs. It keeps life interesting.

When we were checking out - I asked the Cashier if my WallyWorld Discount Card was any good there. Nope! Also Sam's Club Associates don't get the WallyWorld Discount Card, however we do get a free Sam's Club Card. Joe also gets a Sam's Club Membership because we are Domestic Partners. WallyWorld would have required us to be legally married for the WallyWorld Discount Card, The Pay Raise that I am getting from Sam's Club will more than cover the 10 percent loss from not having a WallyWorld Discount Card.

The Road Back from Sam's Club is less city and more country roads which is more my style. There is Route 33 which is the Same Route I used to take from Ojai to Santa Barbara California. There is also Lover's Lane. Woo Hoo!
Next comes the Challenge of Kind Of Sort Of Being a Domestic Goddess. Most of what I know about Cooking, I learned from Betty Crocker but I haven't cooked in several years. Thus I had to pull out my memories to cook Stuffed Pork Chops. Corn Bread Stuffing, Peppers, Onions, Corn. Wrapped it in foil. Toss in some veggies and pop it in the oven at 350 for thirty some minutes Tonight, I am cooking Orange Roughy. Betty Crocker never told me how to cook Orange Roughy so off to the gOOgle University - I go. Add Yada Yada Yada and pop it in the oven at 450 for 6 to 12 minutes. That I can handle.

Losing Weight does seem to be one of the benefits of working at Wal-Mart and even Sam's Club.
