RTT- S'not

Have you ever seen a kid sneeze and unintentionally snot rocket themselves? The look of surprise is classic. Oh yeah, Happy Tuesday!

We all have colds here. The Man was the Ebola monkey for this round of colds. He came home with a tiny man cold last week and that crap propagated in this house like penicillin in a petri dish.

Today I am off to Cambridge to find the "it" toy of the season. Moxie GIrlz. Apparently they are the bastard child of Bratz, only less slutty, more wholesome. I find it hilarious that they promote being unique in their advertising but every little girl in the western world is going to get one for Christmas. I base this estimate on the fact that every time I tried to put one in my Amazon.com basket last night it got snatched out before I had a chance to check out. It was like being robbed in the middle of the Wal-Mart toy section. I was violated people!

Another thing, what is up with these Zhu-Zhu/ Go Go (UK) hamsters? Toy hamsters with their own cages, that run around in circles...yeah it seems cheaper to me to buy the real thing. One of those little hamsters is going for 30 some odd dollars on Amazon. I can get a real hamster for six bucks. Hamsters are evil anyway. I decided that when I worked at a pet store and had to feed the little monsters. Put your hand into a cage of the little Siberian Hamsters....like a pack of wolves I tell you!

I won a contest over at The Lady Who Lunches! I got some fantastic smelling Loose Leaf Chai Tea from the Lahloo tea company. It smells sooo good. I can't stress enough how good it smells. Oh and it kills me to call it Chai Tea because in Russian the word Chai is Tea. So it is really superfluous to say tea.

Did I just use the word superfluous? I knew those vocab lessons in high school would pay off one day!

Alright I am going to go battle the crowds at the Cambridge Toys R Us. Pray for me.

Great word.. good luck with the toy. I am glad to be past that stage of the "it" gift.
Happy SITSmas
Cambridge Toys R Us? You're insane.

I'm heading over to the UK to visit my parents later tonight, I'm dreading the Christmas shopping situation, I've so far managed to avoid it here.

Oh man, i hope youve got plenty of asprin (or whatever) for your shopping adventure!! I did not know chai was Russian for tea. Learn something new everyday... Good luck finding the It toy!
I've heard there's some consumer report out that may result in the fake hamsters getting recalled. Real hamsters are MUCH more fun anyway. They chew things and are furry little escape artists.
I hope your shopping trip goes well today! I am planning to go to Cambridge Toys R Us this week - let me know whether there are any toys left on the shelves!!! Hmm Coldams Lane traffic queues - good luck!!!

A pray for Toys R Us? I think you'll need a sermon to help you get through the crowds lol. And no, I really don't get the hamster thing either - our radio station sai what you did - it would be cheaper to go out and get the real deal :)

Happy RTT!
Yeah you on having a successful shopping adventure. And that you are still alive!!!! I don't have to worry about "it" toys anymore but I do have four...count them...FOUR granddaughters and one grandson. So clothing is the "thing" now and boy that cots...big time!! But I love the fashion shows I get now!! LOL!

Princess Nagger wanted those zhu zhu pets - they're all out of stock everywhere but one of the employees at Toys R Us said they're kinda flimsy and would probably not last long. Luckily PN is more interested in dinosaurs right now, so that helps make Santa a hero. ;)

Glad you were successful getting what you wanted so you're the hero this year! ;)

Happy RTT! :)
A guy across the hall from me in college had a hamster. His name was Fred and he decided to call it Ginger (we called it Ginger-snaps because it liked to bite)

My prayers go out to you as you enter battle. I know you will come through victorious!
Sending non-killer, non-crushing, toy finding vibes your way. Be safe, parents on a toy quest are nuts.

I mean NOT you, you know, but them. The Others.
I have seen a ton of moxie girls. I'm tempted to pick them up for my nieces, but their mother wanted to do play doh stuff this year, so that's what they're getting. My 3 yr old niece wants pixos too. Not happening, but it's so funny to watch her go crazy over the commercials. Damn advertising.
Don't judge all hampsters by the ones you fed in the pet store. We had Sqeaky and the only person he bit was your mother. He did this because she would put him on the bed and then hit the bed on both sides of him and make him fly up in the air like he was on a trampoline.
Hampsters are sensitive souls.

Glad you got the Moxie girl and Barbie.

Weather here drizzly and cool.

Give all a kiss for me.

XOXO

You're gonna need more than prayers going to toys R us in December!
Good luck getting the must have. Try sneezing and coughing near the display in the store to keep other shoppers away from them.
Isnt shopping fun around the holidays? NOT! lol
Hope you are feeling better! Why are those hamster so expensive! Hope you get your toy.
hope all who have colds get better soon!
Good luck on the must have toy hunt-I am so glad my childrens are past the toy stage...I think...lol
Superfluous? That's just sexy.

The zhu zhu pets are really weird and just as popular here in Kansas. THey can be found nowhere.
My sister-in-law has been scouring Ohio for one of those hamster things for my niece. I'm thinking her justification is that this thing doesn't need to be watered or fed and NO HAMSTER POO!
Until yesterday, I'd never even heard of Zhu Zhu pets. They're...weird. I don't get it. At all.
The good thing about going to a store, any store, let alone a TOY store just before Christmas is that you have an excuse to drink. A lot.
I can't stop laughing over the snot rocket part to give and cred for superflous...
