Warning: May Cause Impulse Buys!
We were in a local shopping center, and my wife had seen the Highland Cow Warmie(y?) the last time we'd been in. There, sadly, were no Highland Cow Warmies this time around. In a moment of weakness, I poked around a bit online, and of course the Internet gleefully informed me that the direct-buy option here on the site was having a Buy Two, Get One Free sale. I chose the Highland Cow for my wife, the Goat for myself, and well let's just add this cute little bat for free. The goat sits by my desk, the cow by my wife's desk, and the bat is on the bed upstairs. I am told that I snuggle it in the night. We have cleaned the microwave because the portion you warm/cool is not removable. They are soft. Wonderfully cuddly, and honestly just the perfect excuse for two middle aged ladies with arthritis to buy cute little plush guys to have around the house. They're not toys! They're -functional-. Do you know how difficult it is to be crabby when having a hot flash if you have a cooled-down adorable lavender-scented plush goat in your lap? It is quite difficult.
Then the emails popped in. "Oh, look at this sale." I resisted. "Buy Two, Get One Free is still going on!" I resisted. We have three, after all. Aww, they have capybaras. I love capybaras. No. No, we have three already, and I am a Responsible Adult. I have apparently been hogging the bat, and the inlaws are coming up north to visit, and it's been cold. Perhaps they would appreciate a warmed up cuddly pal... No, no, we already have three. "How about a Japanese Fairy Bird??"
So anyways there's a capybara, a Japanese Fairy Bird, and a spider en route.
