I forgot how much I loved you. I forgot the way you made me feel just being around you.
Oh, Sam's Club...How I've missed thee.
We used to spend time together, now and again. I'm sorry I took you for granted. I'm sorry that I neglected your membership and ultimately let it drop. I didn't know, I just didn't know. I was deep in the throes of little children and driving across town with them was not pleasant. They never liked the car seats...they cried, it just wasn't worth it.
Wait. I didn't mean that. It was worth it. I just didn't see it at the time.
But Monday, when I kidnapped Julie and made her take me back to you for a visit and some butter, it all came flooding back to me. When I walked through those doors and saw all that...stuff, I realized that the old 'Absence makes the heart grow stronger' clique was actually true.
And then, when I was finished buying huge hunks of butter for $1.43 a pound and a five pound bottle of honey (okay, okay, and other stuff I didn't plan on buying), we sat down at the snack bar. Oh my, what a great place! Jumbo hot dog on a steamed bun with a pop for $1.50.
Oh, how I love thee, Sam's Club.
Please forgive me for neglecting you. For this, I promise you, dear Sammy...
I'll be back to you.
Soon.

I do the same thing--go long periods of time and then that old familiar pull draws me in. For me, its the samples. Right before lunch--especially on a weekend.
(sung to the tune of O Christmas Tree)
Oh sample man
Oh sample man
Oh how I love you sample man
You fix me foods
I'd never try
I'm so delighted
I begin to cry
Oh sample man
Oh sample man
Oh how I love you sample man
If it weren't for the blizzard I'm in the middle of--I'd have to run out and pay Sammy a visit myself--I'm sure he feels I've left him for someone else...
I shop at Sam's weekly! I know most of the people that work there by name and they know me! I'm lured in by the snack bar, and the butter and the honey and the 5000 count box of straws! But it's all the other stuff that I didn't plan on buying that is killing me!!! I have to break my Sam's addiction --right after the new year.
Weekly Fran?! You lucky, lucky girl...And Christina, I actually sung the song out loud, yes I did. And I liked it.
I knew nothing of the samples though. I have been blind.
Last time I was there I bought the 48 pack of Andy Capps Hot Fries and the largest bag of M&Ms ever made.
i'm going again tomorrow! we're already out of the tortilla chips i bought last week:(.
I was out the next day!!! If you read this, buy some more for me please - one Fritos, one tortilla.
Mel--my hubby got a paper route tip today and the lady wrote him a song of thanks--to be sung to the tune of O Christmas Tree also--it was funny and we were laughing so I pulled up your post and read it to him--he thought it was funny. I let him read my comment and he's made a change in my song--it makes sense--ok--I admit it--he's right...
...I'm so delighted
I begin to buy...
He thinks I never give him credit--so here it is. :)
we buy our formula from formula from Sam's.... I love them for selling a can of baby formula for at least twice the size for the same price.... it is the best... Thank you Sam's Club
