A Pure Coincidence.

The other day, Phil and I went shopping for recipe cards. I hope I don't disappoint you when I relay that they were not purchased for kitchen use, but rather for a "Cranium - Science Edition" board game. I have big dreams for semester two and a weekly review in "best game ever" format is part of the plan. Anyways, the cards were purchased without a hassle and I have plenty to facilitate a semester to remember. Moving on....the real story behind this post begins at the check-out, where I spotted my newest "present" from Phil.

Here it is: my microwavable bean bag!



Sitting at the till was a basket FULL of these glorious, heat-radiating creations! Their placement at this spot must have been a business-store ploy.....you know, taking hidden gems out of hiding and placing them irresistably near the exit. Whatever - this marketing strategy worked for me and I knew I had to have it. I think Phil could see I desired it too, as I sadly said "No, I don't need it" while looking at the price tag. Thanks, PHIL! You have allowed me to add to my "stay warm" toolkit :)

You will probably assume I have the best of luck (or perhaps the worst), as I got to use my microwavable bean bag that same evening - for TWO different reasons! Reason one: I suffered a "leg injury" during Thursday's training session at the gym. Reason two: I had an achy stomach that required treatment of some sort. Isn't it a coincidence that I purchased something therpeutic on a day such as this? Well, at least this is what I believe. Phil is convinced that I pulled a leg muscle on purpose.....and that I exaggerated an achy stomach! But, I swear that both of these occurrences were the real deal! I'm not sure why he feels that I have to "justify" the purchase with such un-happy events. I think my microwavable bean bag is a great buy without explanation! It is GREEN (my favourite colour), it has a FUN print(my favourite quality) and, if necessary, it can be used to keep you warm (my favourite temperature) or to make you feel better (my favourite "I can help you" task)..........(haha).

Just wait until his next weight-training session. He will be begging me to "throw it in the micro"!
