HBA

With a list of odd items that could all be purchased in one place, I went to Walmart.  Usually I avoid that place but it was early in the morning and sleeting, so it seemed like a good idea.

There were a few Walmart specific items that I needed.  They have a very good, inexpensive camping dept for little odds and ends.  I was able to get a set of tiny purple carabiners perfect for clipping caps onto fannypacks. 

I needed toothbrush holders for travel.  Really, I have no idea what those things are actually called but I knew what they looked for.  I had one in the house, probably from when I was a child and I'm using it to hold pencils in a backpack so they don't get broken or write all over the inside.

After scouring the camping section, I asked an employee.  They directed me to go to HBA.  What the heck is that?  Games, plumping, electric, womens, jewlrey, all that I know.  HBA? 

Turns out that's the new acronym for Heath and Beauty Aids.  Never would have guessed that.  I finally found the holders in the trial products section, I guess that's the new travel section with all the rules about small containers for liquids and airplane security.

I would think that HBA would be harder to remember than Health.

Silly girl. Don't you know that abbreviations are much more hip and cutting edge.
