Gummi Bears

The gummi bear originated in Germany.  Hans Riegel Sr, a candy maker from bonn, started the Haribo company in 1920.   If I recall correctly, I found these back in the 1980s at a Costco one time.  And have been hooked ever since.  And yes, at Costco, they came in 5lb bags.  

Amazing things, these little rubbery bears... there is no nutritional value, just sugar.  But the flavors... yum!  There are a few knock offs of these delicious little bears, but Haribo is the best.

Today, I was at Lowe's picking up some parts to do some repairs, and noticed them at the checkout.  They seemed to know my name, and called out to .  knowing, of course, that I would consume the entire package.  And I did.  There went an extra 45 minutes on the treadmill for sure!  hahaha

So if a bag of these little critters is calling your name -- beware!  

They're very hard to resist!

Sentimental Lingerie

Ok, this one's for the ladies.... How many of you have bought some kind of lingerie at the store because you think your man will like it, you're hoping that it will be something he says "wow" when you put it on?  C'mon, fess up ladies, I'm betting we've all done it.  Yeah, I did it too.  Nothing fancy, nothing expensive, but I bought a piece of lingerie because I thought I would be wearing it .... to make him smile, to hear his "wow". 

So ..... my question to all of you who've done this:  What do you do with that article of clothing now?  I've bought many things over the years because *I* like it, because it made me feel pretty, or I liked the color, or whatever reason.  And when I buy something for me, its ok to wear it, use it, when I'm in the mood and not feel any attachment to what it stands for.  But now this thing is sitting in my dresser drawer. 

In my weird sense of humor, there are times when I have wondered if I could box it up and ship it off, with a note that reads "Yeah.  You could have seen this on me, and taken it off of me.  Your loss."   Or.  I considered taking a pair of scissors to it, cutting it into tatters, putting it on and snapping a picture with the caption ".... shredded, just like my heart..."  Still a possibility.... hmm.  

If you're reading this... leave me a comment, give me an idea, what do you think I should do with it?  What did you do with yours?
