FINE... GO AHEAD & LAUGH!
OK, here’s the thing… Gordon and I have been trying now for a year to have a baby. Just recently, last month that is, we underwent a traumatic time in our lives. I was rushed to the hospital with stomach pains only to find out that we were having a miscarriage. I really didn’t tell anyone because the emotional pain was just way too heavy to deal with and it was a very long story of actually everything that took place. But I have good news that I am back in high spirits, I know that the Lord has His good and perfect will for my life and I will indeed be a mother, because the Lord knows that is my hearts desire.
So with that put out of the way… after I went through all of that, I realized how unprepared Gordon and I really were at this moment and started re-prioritizing our lives and among that reminiscing about childhood. I came to find out that my mother had lost or misplaced or may have even given away my collection of dolls from when I was a kid, and my friend Jeni can be a witness to how many freakin dolls I had. My most prized dolls were my collection of Strawberry Shortcakes and I was so sad and so bummed to find out they were gone.
So I started hanging out on eBay and guess what… they sell them on eBay… and the vintage ones too, from when I was a kid! So what did your little Woody do? well, I went and bought one. They are going for $30.00 a pop but it is well worth the childhood memories. I still get just as excited as I did as a kid when I see these things.
At first I thought Gordon would be upset but then I started looking around at these stacks and stacks of boxes we have out in our garage and it hit me… almost all these boxes were his and they were filled with toys… Star Wars, Spawn, he has the whole set of the Simpsons almost, and he is still buying and collecting, so he had absolutely no leverage on me. If he complains about my once a month buy on Vintage Strawberry Shortcake dolls, I will just gladly take him by the hand and show him his stacked boxes of action figures in the garage. I have no complaints about his stuff… I actually love them, I love toys, he has made me into a collecting, Comic-Con Geek and I have no complaints.
