Bring home some Kritters, they're stand up guys!

Apologies to those who get my blog posts via email. There was an apparent "blog malfunction" yesterday afternoon while working on this post, and an empty post went out. I removed it quickly, but you cannot "remove" an email that's been sent. No matter how much you wish you could. And yes I know Outlook SAYS it will recall a message you sent, don't believe it. Over on Ebay, someone has put up a cardboard stand up display of the The Krystal Kritters from the 1970's.I'd finally found the perfect addition to my Krystal Kritter Lightswitch Covers.For obvious reasons, I was quite excited. Of course I was not as "excited" as my Hippo Lightswitches. Thankfully he wasn't that excited when the group picture was taken.I was so excited, in fact, I failed to notice that, while the opening price is a mere $19.99, the UPS shipping is $101.99. Apparently since it is so big and can't be folded, it has to be sent UPS ground. For this reason the seller suggests the buyer pick it up in person. I quickly Google Mapped it and saw that it's only a 5:15 drive each way up near Virginia Beach. And I'd actually drive by my grandmother's on the way. Plus my friend Molly lives near VA Beach, so I could pick up some Kritters and visit friends and family along the way. Sure the trip would likely cost more than the $101.99 shipping, but who cares? You come home with a Kar full of Kritters!As I was preparing this post, I suddenly realized that my Hippo Lightswitch covers had been removed. There'd been a Hippo-napping while I was away at work. When i went to ask Natasha about where my Hippos had gone and tell her of the wonderful news that we'd soon have a house full of Kritters, she then began to lecture me on something. I don't really remember what all she said cause I wasn't listening. I do remember something about "growing up" and "immature" but I didn't really hear her. I had my fingers in my ears and was running around humming and screaming "YAA-YAA-YAA NOT LISTENING! EEE-OOOO-EEE-OOO NOT LISTENING! WHEEE-WHEEE-WHEE I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!" Now I'm sitting in time out and I won't be going to get any Krystal Kritters. And apparently if I keep this up, I will be going to bed early without any dinner. Or something like that. Again, I wasn't listening. I bet Krystal Kritters don't have to go to bed early and from the looks of em it doesn't appear they've EVER gone without any dinner. Check out the cankles on those guys.
