The Christmas Tree Shop is Amazing!

I was at the Christmas Tree Shop again with Mitch so he could get another Batman headboard. While we were there he found a candle thing for a table that was $1 and I bet him that I could find something better. And I found this:

A completely adorable dog with a bouncy head named Rufus. Unfortunately for the bet he was $1.99 so he couldn't win it for me. But something special about Rufus made it impossible for me to not get him.

Yes, he only has one ear. I fell prey to what I call "ugly beanie baby syndrome". Back when beanie babies were popular and there were always carts of them at the mall, I would look at one that was just hideous, mention that it was hideous and wonder why anyone would ever buy it and go to walk away. Then I though why WOULD anyone ever buy it? It's just going to sit out on this cart wasting away, unwanted. And I would end up buying it. This is how I acquired about 20 of the ugliest beanie babies ever made. And how I got Rufus. But seriously, how could I resist?

People are crazy - Easter

I was at the Christmas Tree Shop the other day because Mitch wanted stuff to decorate his apartment with and they have the most random stuff. I got the most amazing metal turkey thing there and a glass banana. So as we were walking around we saw this. I didn't really believe that anyone would ever put that on their car, especially since unless it was a really small car it wouldn't even look like a bunny. But no, people are that strange. We then went to Jordans Furniture to see a movie and saw this car.

Also, bonus picture of my dad taking pictures of the lake.
