Walmart Shareholders "Meeting"

just last week Walmart had its yearly shareholders meeting. its a long meeting with all the walmart shareholders ... obviously. we talk about last year's sales, what we're doing now, and the board of directors vote on silly measures (which always get rejected). but luckily for us, walmart likes to throw in some entertainment for us during the week and then at the meeting so its not so boring.

a few days before the meeting we got to go see sugarland and brad paisley put on a nice show for us. duben and i scored floor seats just 14 rows from the stage. brad even sang his first song just two feet in front of me. it was fantastic. i must say, mr. paisley puts on a nice show, even duben had a good time.
the next night was foreigner and chris daughtry, but we decided to pass.


then came the actual meeting. normally i'm quite annoyed when i have to attend at a meeting at 7:00 AM, but this was an exception. we arrived at the meeting at 6:15 to make sure we had decent seats and were welcomed with all the juice and snacks our hearts desired. not too shabby walmart. then the meeting started...with ben stiller. oh yeah...mr zoolander was our m.c.! it was great. we had a few boring speeches, but some fun guests like...michael jordan, miley cyrus, smokey robinson, and american idol winner kris allen.
what a fun day at work!

hmmmmmm . . . sounds like a real tough day of work, carrie! that's so rad. and i'm totally jealous.

i've always wanted to see brad paisley in concert . . . and kris allen! so fun. and i can't believe you didn't go to see daughtry. he's ridiculously good looking. even if i didn't like his music i would have gone just to stare at him for a couple of hours ;)

so happy you are blogging these days!
