The heavens parted and the angels sang

I got a wonderful phone call yesterday. Dare I call it miraculous even? My friend, Stinkerbell, was at the one grocery store in town that I hadn't been to in search of deeply discounted Easter candy, and she told me that they had... Wait for it...

Cadbury Creme Eggs!!!

And they didn't just have a few, but a plethora! Yes, I like the word "plethora". And at 22¢ each, I totally scored! Now, I'm not saying how many I bought, but we'll just say that it's enough to last a good, long time. And then some. Plus, my friend will get her traditional birthday gift of Cadbury Egg goodness in July.

Yes, order has been restored to the universe and the birds can sing again.

But don't think that this gets you off the hook, Target. Yup, I've got my eye on you.

Still time to share some laughs at the Life is Funny blog carnival. Don't we all need a good laugh once in a while?

a formal complaint

Photobucket

I'd like to file a formal complaint. Target, I've loved you for years. You've always been there for me and had what I need. And I've been loyal to you - I wouldn't dream of stepping foot into Walmart. I visit you many times each week and tell all my friends of your goodness. But today you let me down. I came to you with a deep need... A need for Easter candy at clearance prices. How is it possible that you could have nothing for me? Not even one bag of yucky jellybeans? What am I to do with my yearning for creamy chocolate at bargain prices? How can I live without those Whopper Robin's Eggs? And don't even get me started on the Cadbury's... Oh! Cadbury's! I'll have to wait an entire year for your rich, creamy goodness! I don't know if I can make it... I've heard rumors that you let others down even before Easter. I heard that there were near riots on Saturday when there was no candy to be found in your Easter aisle. Target, how can you live with this shame? Oh sure, you can tell me that I can just hit the regular candy aisle and pay (gasp!) full price... But that just takes all the joy out of it now, doesn't it? And now I'll have to wait until Halloween for the next holiday candy to come out?! Oh, the humanity! Target, I have to tell you that this taints our relationship. Sure, I still love you, but there's a hole in my heart that can only be filled by a greatly discounted chocolate bunny.

What did I learn this week? If you've made a tradition of buying your best friend Cadbury Eggs to save them for her birthday in July, make sure you get them before Easter. Drats.
