It Just Keeps Getting Better? or Worse? or Better? or Worse?

Welcome to yet another installment of Jennifer’s Meijer adventures.  I should be earning free groceries for all these Meijer laden posts.  Are you listening Fred Meijer??

So the excitement today was this:

Meijer was on fire.  (I’m a poet and didn’t even know it!)  (I’m sorry that was lame.)

Really!  Meijer was on fire while I was THERE this morning!  I truly couldn’t make this stuff up.

As I paid for my groceries, I saw the manager rushing towards the deli with a fire extinguisher in hand.  The cashier (who was an excellent bagger, by the way), nervously told me, “Ha!  Yeah, there’s a fire.  Ha.  Ha, ha!,”  and yelled at her manager,  “send smoke signals if you need help!”  (I’m sorry, again, that was also lame.)

I looked up and saw smoke billowing from the deli area. 

And you know what a fire means, right?  That’s right!  Firemen!  Raur!

Too bad they didn’t arrive until after I had pulled out of the parking lot.  I might have needed to be revived by mouth to mouth resuscitation when I was overcome with smoke.  *cough, cough*

    *lol* Oh my…if only firemen ACTUALLY looked like that. *sigh*

    But what excitement for your day. Meijer is turning into so much more than just a place to shop for you, isn’t it? *lol*

    Girlfriend! He’s hot.

    The fire could have been set by a disgruntled Meijer shopper. Perhaps this shopper could not find the salad cream? Okay, I’ll stop with the salad cream.

    I’m sorry Carson missed the fire truck and you didn’t have a close encounter with a six-pack,-sportin’, axe-wielding public servant!

    There was a fire truck in front of my son’s day care when I arrived to pick him up on Friday. Talk about a scary 30 seconds while I walked from my car to the front door … turns out a little boy (a teacher’s child, actually) had gone into insulin shock. Once we knew he’d be OK, we all had fun checking out the fire truck … and the firemen.

    There is just something about firemen, isn’t there. Even when they don’t look like that.

    But maybe that’s just me.

    Meijers doesn’t really sound like it’s all that.

    And what’s with the name? Who can remember how to spell that.

    I tell you what’s easy to spell. That’s Super Target, where you don’t have to risk a fire and your life to see hot men.

    I have to agree with you, firemen are delicious. Too bad when they go out on calls they are all suited up. It’s a shame to cover up such things…
