build a bear? really?


my friend invited me to go to a build a bear store with her for some adult company (i use the word "adult" loosely). i was intrigued by this place, had never been in one but had always wondered what drew 20 kids in at a time to this place for birthday parties and such. i left, shockingly, knowing what drew them in. that place was awesome. i would have completely dug it...if i were 12 and i almost did at the age of 33.

we moseyed over to starbucks and had some eggnog lattes and scones (yum) over some girl only conversations. it was a blast.

then, went over to the t's bro and sis' house to help move. i didn't do a lot...i'll admit. i did bring up a lot stuff, but figured since there were 5 strapping men there, they could do the lifting. i've done too much of my share of moving and breaking things, etc. it also make me take a deep breath and realize that this is now the longest i've lived somewhere since i graduated from high school. and we're planning on another 20plus years here. i don't know why this feels o.k. to me, but it does. i think now, it's mainly that i don't want to move.

i then proceeded to take a gander at some stores, bought some toilet paper for FREE. yes, FREE. like 12 packages of it. the cashier guy thought i was nuts as i cheered myself on as he scanned each coupon. or maybe that i was buying 12 packages of toilet paper. i don't know. don't care...it was free.
