As tradition has it for the Neikirk household, we give presents a bit early, especially if they are "good ones" and the surprise is too much to keep! So even though Erik's birthday is still a few days away, his gift is in the den, ready to be used... and it is fabulous! Click here to check it out. The stand is ready to be unloaded from the Explorer, but I must wait on his muscles to get that one up and running!! I will take and post pics when it is all ready!!
Another tradition for us is to go in the store for one thing, and come out with something even BETTER! For example... We went into the store for cat food- and came out with Grace. (The Humane Society was having an adoption day outside of the pet store, how could we resist her sweet face....) Also, we went out to buy frozen yogurt, and came home with a mattress- which, by the way, is FAN-didally-TASTIC! So it is no surprise really, that we went into Best Buy for a movie and came out with a TV to watch it on... now is it?! :)
Now, to clear our names from the "impulse purchaser" list... we have had the "BETTER" items in the back of our heads for a while, it just happens that we get them somewhat unexpectedly... and to me, that is fun. Isn't that what it is all about??
