Friday my hubby and I got up early, took the kids to school and went for a Venti Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks. It was awesome. Usually I don't get to spend alone time with him until the weekend and even then the kids are home. We decided to go to ToysRUs to get some fun stuff for our son's Easter basket. Unfortunately, they opened at 9:30 and it was only nine. Now right about now you're probably thinking Why the hell do I care about this? Just indulge me for a minute I do have a point, of sorts. So as we were waiting in the car for ToysRUs to open, we saw many, many cars pull up and also wait for this store to open. My hubby and I were totally surprised that there were that many people waiting at 9:30 in the morning to buy toys. As the manager opened the door, letting the small crowd that had formed in to the store, we noticed seven yes seven (7) cars zoom into the parking lot and park. I was in shock. Was there a sale that was going on that I didn't know about? Hubby and I jumped off the car and hurried into the store. I made a beeline to the Easter stuff expecting to fight the fight of the parent that waited until the last minute for basket stuff but I was surprised to see no one there. I was alone.
These people weren't there for Easter stuff! Whoat!?! They were there for actual toys! WTF! Anyhoo, we got what we needed and left. Since we were expecting a big snow storm for the weekend we decided to also run some errands that we had been putting off, like checking out campers. That's right! Yours truly has decided to camp her brains out this summer. I feel I need to get back to nature and that this is a good way of doing so. Of course I am not doing anything without benefit of a toilet that flushes. Yes, I see the hypocrisy of my resolve but I can only work on flaw/issue at a time.
As we took mini tours of different kinds of campers, I noticed that with my taste level the campers got increasingly larger and came with more amenities. By the time we were done, the one that my poor heart had settled on was a 2013 Mercedes Benz Class C Sprinter Camper that was so past my budget capacity that all I could do was cry at all the beautiful interior upgrades. It had all leather interior, granite counter tops, a rain like shower head and a built in latte maker. *SIGH* I walked out of the camper, stooped down in utter disappointment that I could not afford the camper of my dreams. So, I did the walk of shame down the graveled path to the one camper that I could afford. The 2006 hybrid Kodiak by Scamper. It wasn't a Mercedes but it was everything we needed and when I say everything needed, that means it has a toilet and shower.
I am still searching for the perfect camper that I can afford. Right now that would be called a tent. So, I am off to surf the internet.
Until next time...
