I Feel A Little Better Now

Well, the wife and I did go to Old Time Pottery as planned to shop around for some more Christmas decor for outside as the wife wanted to do. I think we got out of there okay enough. I wanted a 3-way plug, and got one 8' long for $8. My wife bought an inflatable Christmas pink flamingo, something she has been wanting to do for years. She's my #1 fan and of course as I have my Pink Flamingoes album and signature song, Pink Flamingoes, misspelled on purpose by the way, and so she likes to think it honors my music. We paid $20 for it. She also got some more net lights, another $13. All said, because we did also buy a couple other things we walked out of there only $55 broker than when we went in. So, it wasn't awful. I guess there was a plus. We also bought a box of Zesta saltine crackers which were on sale for $1.49 and the guy forgot to ring them up, so we got a box of crackers for free. I would have rather him have forgotten to ring up the pink flamingo. But oh well. I'll take the free crackers nonetheless.

Maybe I will do that tonight. If nothing else it offers another post and maybe helps to pay for that damn pink flamingo my wife insisted on buying. lol

@porwest Exactly. At least penguins are associated with snow, even if they are from the opposite end of the Earth!

@Fleura Right. My sentiments exactly. lol Flamingos are typically in tropical places like Florida, Hawaii and other places where it tends to stay relatively warm.

Believe me. I don't get it. I am still arguing about Christmas penguins, but at least I guess I can understand SOME better association with them than a damn flamingo. lol

I would actually say I expected we'd spend more. So, I was happy to come in under $60 honestly. lol

Is that the flamingo to the far right? Can't quite tell. Hope you have a great day.

@porwest I think it's cute. Reminds me of Florida.

@LindaOHio I'm not sure what it reminds me of. Not Christmas, though.

The decorations should look great when they're all lighted up.

I admit, once it's all done, I do rather enjoy them.

I don't think I'll give my opinion of blow-up pink flamingoes.
