Babies R Us

By
...is not my favorite store. I have a variety of reasons that may appear in a later blog. I will share today's experience.

I packed up Jack and drove to the Babies R Us in Paramus, NJ. This store is pretty mediocre in general, but it's the easiest one to get to with a car.

I took my time reviewing options for some of the things I wanted to pick up. Jack was great - he slept in his car seat the whole time - despite the loud shoppers and frequent PA announcements. As I was checking out, Jack decided that he was hungry and told me in the only way he knows how - by crying.

The lady at the register doesn't seem to understand that a crying baby means move faster. She starts by asking my phone number and then doesn't recognize my area code. As she is scanning the items, one comes up "do not sell." She ponders this and then says she'll need to figure out why. I have to ask her to put it aside. Then she uses the wand scanner for a larger item. After scanning the item, she knocks over a set of discount cards that she promptly spends time picking up. Remember, Jack is crying this entire time. She was just clueless. She even had the gall to ask if I wanted to open a Babies R Us credit card. Sure lady, let's run a quick credit check while my baby screams - sounds like a GREAT idea.

We could not get out of there fast enough.

Echo echo echo...

We welcomed a new pet to our home: Echo, a lovely red Betta. The name is all Spence, though he did pose a few other suggestions. Spence: I'm going to name it Bluey. Me: the fish is red. Spence: then I'll name it Reddy. Me: Let's stick with Echo. That's a cool name.

Sunday Afternoon in the Park

By
Could be a well known play, but in this case, it's the new Yankee Stadium. I picked up tickets Thursday afternoon for today's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is the first game we've been to at the new stadium. The new stadium is very nice - much more in line with other new stadiums. There is a lot more space in the walkways - more food options - and much better bathrooms! The latter being most important to me right now. Our tickets were in left field in the upper deck. All in all, decent seats - but the sun made them a bit unbearable. The game started off slow - I mean slow. The first two innings took almost 2 hours. We were roasting in the sun! Eventually, we decided to walk around to check out the rest of the stadium and get out of the sun. The game got much better after we starting moving. Eventually, we ended up on the first level watching the game from the walkway. The pregnancy bump paid off, because one of the ushers in this area let us sit down in the shade
