I Really Hate Wal-Mart

So. They're building a Wal-Mart a few blocks from our house. I'm not sure why, because there are already two Wal-Marts within five miles of us. In fact, one of the other Wal-Marts is on the same road as the new one, about 10 minutes away from it. And if you go like three minutes further, there's a Target. And I will ALWAYS drive the extra three minutes to go to Target instead. And if it's after 10 p.m. and Target is closed, then I'll just wait until the next day to get whatever it is I need.

The new Wal-Mart is scheduled to open in 2014. I reveled in the fact that we were going to be long gone by the time its doors actually opened and made this part of town a nightmare, because Matt was going to graduate in December 2013, and then he'd get a job somewhere and we'd move.

But now it's looking like he won't graduate until May 2014.

I'm fine with staying here a little longer. It's not a big deal, and we knew that December was more of a fingers-crossed date than a set-in-stone one. I'm just a little disappointed. I really don't want my new neighbor to be a Wal-Mart.
