The Not So Random Heart

I am not a huge shopper, I do most of my shopping online!

I do enjoy the occasional trip to The Christmas Tree Store,

and it's often a covert operation getting the hubs to go.

 

Last night we were out and about,

early dinner, the usual errands,

and as we headed toward home,
Chuck started the discussion as to which route
we would be taking home.

There are several different options,

based on traffic, lights and actual distance but I jumped right on board...

saying Rt. 70 would be quickest because,
you guessed it, The Christmas Tree Store is on Rt 70.
He falls for that, he always falls for that,
and the next thing he knows, he's in The Christmas Tree Store.

 

After 2, o.k. 3 completely unnecessary purchases,

we headed slowly to the checkout, when I spotted this...

I knew it had to be mine.

Four dollars, ninety-nine cents,
that works and it jumped right in to the shopping cart.

My pace increased as I neared the register.

The cash register area is the designated "food" area, the hubs favorite,

so now I need to be patient...great!

 

I don't pay too much attention as I check out but

when she announces the total,

I know I have spent less then I should have, the hubs pays,
he always pays and we head to the car.

Turns out, they charged me $ 1.25 for that baby

and I could not be more excited.

 

It sparkles, it has snow and my birds are going to LOVE it!!

 

Talk about a bargain, I just about wet my pants!

ps., the two .50 cent pecan delight purchases belong to the hubs,
one he ate there, one he brought home.
He always throws the empty wrapper on the checkout counter,
then he announces to the girl that I ate it.
This time he was still chewing!!
