So! Yesterday (or I guess I should say Thursday) the Mr. and I went out shopping for presents for these kids who are turning 1, because we're invited to a party for 1-year-old twins. That's totally our crowd, obviously. But anyway, we ended up finding the greatest presents ever and quite frankly we would really like to keep them for ourselves. They're sets of Sesame Street car keys on big fake electronic-car-alarm-type keychains, and you press one button and it makes the squeaky "alarm on" noise, then another button has Fun Honking Horn Noises and the last one you press and you get like Ernie saying "Let's roll! VROOM!" or whatever. Oh yeah, and crap lights up too. The arm-alarm and horn buttons are arguably the best, especially when you are trying to get around stupid slow people clogging up the aisles at Toys R Us. It's going to be painful to let them go, but at least we can be happy with our choice of gift for 1-year-olds, and how often does that happen.
When I was searching for a picture, I saw a listing for a "Sesame Street mesh bag" but I read it as "Sesame Street meth bag." I bet those actually exist. If not, I'm certain there is a market for them.
After that we went to Beverages & More, which is apparently known as "BevMo," in search of Sofia Minis, but sadly they were nowhere to be found. We did, however, invest in a giant vat of Southern Comfort, a bottle of Campari and a bunch of little old sodas like Moxie and Frostie Cherry Limeade~~ and whatnot. I'm drinking Campari and orange now and it's taking me back to the days when I would be on antibiotics and I would actually care about not drinking alcohol at the same time, so I'd get Campari drinks. As if they weren't alcohol. That was before I just gave up and drank "actual" booze anyway because honestly, what was the point of trying to not be sick if you can't drink alcohol? That wisdom has served me well to this day. No, really.
Holy crap, VH1 Classic is showing the Belle Stars' "Sign of the Times" video. I'm awestruck.
