"Guess what I found !"
Posted by Drive My Car on 09-16-03 at 09:51 AM

Ever find something that was a happy little surprise in your day?

I had it happen twice this week.

Yesterday I was looking for one of my daughter's many pencil sharpeners ( I buy them, she loses them, I buy another, well, you get it) and in the junk drawer I found


( shown in actual size!)

They are yummy and made me happy, and I didn't share them.

Saturday I had the other "find" of the week. I got 3 tubes of toothpaste for $1.27. I have no idea why this made me happy, but I was giddy over it.

Do any of you have stories to tell about unexpected finds?

I can't imagine not eating until 4pm. My stomach would revolt.

Sometimes I just forget.

And I think I shall rename Brlupper to Brlinner (not to be confused with the famous "I am a jelly donut" speech of Pres. Kennedy.)

My nice little suprise works for both buggy AND for python.

I was looking in my rarely used bedroom dressing table drawers the other day and found my long lost witchy poo pez dispenser:

My best friend gave it to me years ago for my birthday. Now here's the kicker. I opened it up to see if there was any pez in it and lo and behold there were 4 vicodins in it! I remember thinking it would be totally funny to put the vicodins in the pez dispenser because 1) the vics I was taking at the time were almost the same shape as pez and B) people kept saying that I popped the pain killers like candy. So...smart alec me made it so!

4 extra pain killers AND my pez dispenser, how cool is that?


--thinks python should get a pez dispenser and try it with her PK's

I found a roll of toilet paper in the very depths of the vanity. This was good because I was terribly afraid we had none at all.

The baby is balanced right on my bladder, so I have to be extra careful when I sneeze.

Sorry, that was TMI, wasn't it?

Butterman has a sidekick? I did not know this.


"RE: What?"
Posted by Wheezy on 09-17-03 at 09:25 PM
OMH! You should see what Superman drew for Wheezyboy. It? Is most fantastic. And Superman called Wheezyboy to get the specs on the toilet, and stuff, and then suggested that Butterman needed an evil sidekick...who is, of course, Pat (of butter). They had a very serious talk about it all. And Pat? Is slightly melted on one side from a recent heated skirmish.

It's on a big piece of paper, too big to fit in the scanner, dang it.

Kids always lose the small things, that's why I bought Silverchild an electric pencil sharpener about 5 years ago. It's still going strong and it sits on her desk. DH and I are allowed to use it, too!

Good find with the panties! I found a pink bra today. Could they be a set?

I took out a jacket this morning that I haven't worn since spring and found a $10 bill in the pocket!

Whoopee!! Free lunch today!

That's the best!

Usually, towards the end of snowboard-jacket season, I leave a 20 in the pocket. That way, the next winter, I can be elated to find $20!

That wouldn't work for me, because the first time I needed money and didn't have time to visit the bank machine, I would go fetch the $20 from the snow jacket.

And if I set my clock wrong to try and make sure I'm not late, I correct the time in my mind anyway.

My find of the century was a 1950 Midwest console radio in a wood cabinet with a record player that our old business neighbor sold at a yard sale. I asked how much (hoping to get it for less than $100) and he told me he'd give it to me for $10!

I ran back to my building, grabbed the $10 and called hubby to come over in his truck and pick it up! It is in my living room, and it's one of the most beautiful pieces of furniture I have. It's in perfect condition, and to top it all off, it still works and sounds awesome!

The most recent thing I can think of that just turned up was my wife's You Don't Know Jack games. She loves that game, but when we moved to Denton, they vanished. Finally her parents were cleaning up her old room and found them behind a desk. That made her very happy.
