Miracles! They do happen (or how a so-so day turned AWESOME!)

Well...do wonders never cease?

No. They do not.

The day was fairly ho-hum (with the exception of Bret Michaels being on the cover of People this week...what would reality TV have done without him? Be grateful kids...seriously!). On the way home from work, I had to stop off and do some Wedding and Mother's Day shopping (Done!! Check that off the list!). So I'm driving towards home on 465..and what do I see?

A squirrel.

A running squirrel.

A running squirrel crossing three lanes of traffic moving at 65 + miles per hour.

A running squirrel WHO MADE IT ACROSS ALL THREE LANES! His little tail was haulin it! Me, being the superstitious girl that I am, took it as a good omen. May the force be with you little squirrel...you've earned it!

So after witnessing this miracle, as I was strolling through the aisles of Wal-Mart (not my first choice most days--but I'm a fan of shopping off the registry. Get people what they want and there is no awkward, lying through the teeth of "Oh--a crystal ashtray held up on a stand of naked woodland nymphs. How did you know that is EXACTLY what we needed?") I also needed some milk, so I strolled towards the grocery aisle...

And that's where I saw them.

Are you ready for this? Cause I sure wasn't. Be still my heart, but what did my eye spy sitting on a shelf like a little gift from the universe?

Oreos. But not just any Oreos. Oreos filled with OREO BLIZZARD CREAM!

Holy shit..I think I could have died of happiness right then and there. Now, I'm not usually a cookie buyer (not a sweets person, really), but Oreos? And Blizzards? Shut up. I'm powerless to resist the call of these little delights. And trust me people--they are all you could hope for and more. I'm just sad that one serving of these little angels is only two cookies. But I was good...I only ate three (hey--I'm not made of stone!).

So I get home and unload my booty, haul it up the stairs and what's waiting for me?

Why a little gift from Amazon.com! Jen Lancaster's newest book, My Fair Lazy!

My Fair Lazy: One Reality Television Addict's Attempt to Discover If Not Being A Dumb Ass Is the New Black, or, a Culture-Up Manifesto

Oh!! Happy piglet am I! I think I squealed. A lot.

I have no shame.

The only hard part about this?

I'm going to save it for a little bit later in the month...so I can enjoy it properly.


And I might even have some Oreos left to go with it! Joy of joys : )
