Choose Your Own (Weekend) Adventure

This weekend reminded me of those Choose Your Own Adventure books -- remember those?  Like the Mario Brothers one that was like playing a video game, but was actually a book that you read, so your parents bought it in order to pry you away from the 'Sega Game Gear' that you became weirdly addicted to??

No?  I mean, me neither.

In any event, this weekend I had several moments where things could have gone one of two ways...

Choose Your Own (Weekend) Adventure
You invite some friends to an aquatic garden, thinking that spring should be the perfect time to visit, but when you get there it looks like THIS.  What do you do?...


1.  Laugh it off, try to make the most of it, and walk around anyway.

2.  Go to Costco Wholesale Club

----------------------------------
Answer: #2!
----------------------------------

You get to Costco and realize that nothing in this store will ever fit into your 500 square foot studio apartment, nor do you need 150 of any particular product. What do you do?...


1. Adopt a reasonable attitude: buy nothing, except if you see something you really, really need.

2. BUY EVERYTHING.  Ohmygosh, this is so exciting -- you didn't even know they SOLD bar soap in 24-packs!  And it doesn't even MATTER that you could, literally, cover every surface in your apartment with a family-size-pack of paper towels -- they're, like, 75 cents per roll when you buy them in multiples of 20!

Answer: #2!

Finally, you arrive back home, survey your car trunk, and debate how to get 40 rolls of paper towels, 24 bars of soap, 4 pounds of powdered sugar, and a case of fruit snacks up five flights of stairs and into your apartment. What do you do?...
1. Make several trips.  You're the one who decided you needed to shop for a family of 12, now you must figure out a way to carry everything inside.

2. Awe screw it.  These will be your "car fruit snacks"

Answer: #2!

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend.  Anyone wanna come over and eat fruit snacks with me in my parking lot?

  1. I'll eat fruit snacks with you in the parking lot any time. Although I call the strawberry one's, can't stand grape! =)
