Treasure Hunt
"Get her some Webkinz trading cards," she says, like it's sooooooooooo easy.
I'm having The Girl Child and The Boy Child overnight tomorrow, and I'm doing a treasure hunt for them. And since there has to be treasure at the end of the treasure hunt -- hence the name -- I asked Billi what little goodies she thought they might like.
Webkinz trading cards. Why don't I just go locate the Holy Grail, for God's sake?!
Billi secretly hates me and is passive-aggressively making me drive around the globe on a hot, sweaty day. I had to go to three Hallmark stores before I found Webkinz trading cards. Three! Oh, the humanity!
And then, when I went to get a few groceries at Jewel for dinner, it was closed due to a power outage. So Husband is getting last night's leftovers tonight because, after running around the 'burbs looking trading cards, I didn't feel like driving to a different grocery store.
So there's where Husband's dinner lies on my list of priorities -- right after Little Things That Amuse The Girl Child. I'm so her bitch.
I bought five packs of something that I have no idea what they are. (Is that even a sentence?)
Oh, I know what Webkinz are. They're the little stuffed animals that lie on your bed, seemingly innocent and harmless, when really they have this whole secret life inside your computer! With games and fashion shows and fifteen room homes!
I really resent the fact that some stupid plushies have a more fulfilling double-life than I do. My double-life is: administrative assistant by morning, blogger by afternoon!
Oooooooh. Gripping.
Damn Webkinz.
I want one.

If she likes horses, you should have looked for Bella Sara cards. My girl things really got into them...
