The Beast

This is what's been in the back of my mind this week.

Here's what on my mind this morning (only you have to picture Boston Cream Pie flavor). What can I say? Give a woman a break.

Had a coupon for toaster strudel (say that five times fast) yesterday. I've never purchased it before, but I just had to try it. That's the company's reason for sending out those coupons anyway, isn't it? To drum up interest? Well, let's just say I became interested very quickly--especially when DJ saw the Boston Cream ones. I have a real weakness for Bavarian cream. I was honestly going to buy these for the kids. I now notice there are only six in a package, so how am I ever going to get one. I guess it being Saturday morning, there's bound to be one or more children sleeping in. The early bird gets the toaster strudel, wouldn't you think? I've been up since 6-ish, so I'm definitely a winner. Those later birds won't even know what they've missed.

T's sitting here with me saying, "beffast." I asked him if he was hungry and if his tummy was growling. He responded with one word, "Bear."

As for that large thing that's been driving around in the back of my mind all week, it's still there in Georgia. We went and looked at one at a local dealership last night. As I went to sleep last night, I lay there wondering if I could picture myself driving such a large beast. The one we looked at last night was more like a shuttle bus (but it had seating for 12). The one we're interested at is for ten and not as tall. No matter what I drive it's going to be the family bus, so I guess I'd better get used to it.

Z and I are now talking about flying out to get it....if we buy it....and driving it back home cross country. Being a girl who has really not seen much of the world, that would be very exciting for me (not to mention spending a few blissful days with the man I love), but that really opens up a whole new set of problems, and I don't know if I even want to go there.

Anyway, that's what's been in the works in the madhouse. Gonna go feed the bear some toaster strudel, which he, at two, is not going to appreciate anyway, at least not in the way he should...hmm...maybe he would like some cereal instead. I think I know someone else who would enjoy that strudel much more than he.....
