...Everyone would be in love with me.

I'm in my second home, Giant, attempting to earn my free Hershey Park ticket by spending $45 in Kraft products.* En route to completing this heroic stay-at-home-mom task, I purchase 2 packs of Oscar Mayer Weiners (they were BOGO ... and hey, the girls need to be regular kids once in a while. They can't grow up on only chicken breast and rice.)

As I put the Weiners in the cart, I cannot resist and find myself moved to song... the Oscar Mayer Weiner song, of course. As I'm making my way up and down the aisles making a fool of myself for my little stinkers, Nat grabs me around the neck and pulls me to her, cheek to cheek. I'm hunched over the handles of the cart and she says, "You're so silly mommy." And Jules quickly joins in the hug fest.

I look at little Julsie's arms and legs, beautifully browned in the summer sun and realized that for Julsie, there is no wishing - she IS a little Oscar Mayer Weiner! That plump, smooth, flawless, tan skin. No wonder I always feel like literally eating her up! .... and we all ARE in love with her =)
*I did earn that free ticket (a $45 value). I also used 25 dollars in coupons and saved 28 using my bonus card on that same trip.... one of my home economic highlights.

You continue to impress me. I just finished using some of the coupons you saved me and it felt sooooo good. It's impossible for Giant not to be our second home when it's pretty much in our backyard. I'm horrible at planning things out. I end up running over there all the time.
