Snoopy Sno-Cone PART 2

Anika, Sophia, Leo & Finn had a fantastic birthday party. In the goodie bags that they passed out was a cd of some of their favorite songs. I started to listen to it on my drive home and was awash with memories as Winnie the Pooh and Do Re Me from the Sound of Music came through my speakers. These are songs from my childhood and it's sooo great to see another generation enjoying them. I had a cassette tape of the soundtrack for the Sound of Music and I used to listen to it over and over. I was especially found of How do You Solve a Problem Like Maria and So Long, Farewell.

After the party my fiance and I went to Barnes and Noble. We were looking for a new journal for Alissia as well as a copy of the Bhagavad Gita. I felt a little guilty, looking longingly at the leather bound journals knowing full well that I have been cheating on my own journal while I make sure that I blog every day. I need to make a habit of attending to both. Journaling is a beautiful spiritual practice, not to mention its stress relieving potential.

Alissia did find both a new journal and her book but while we were tooling around I found... a Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine. I'd ordered Sophia & Anika's on Amazon but here was another one in front of me. I just couldn't help it. I am now the proud owner of my second very own sno-cone maker. In all likelihood, I will use it once and then set it up as memorabilia but I'm still pretty excited.

So yes, on a Saturday night, I spend my time perusing the kids' toy section at Barnes and Noble. Don't judge me. I always have been and intend to always be easily amused. It's part of my charm. :) Anyone want to come over for a sno-cone?!?!

Tomorrow I have every intention of blogging about Reiki instead of toys, sugar and birthday parties, so if my inner child ramblings are starting to sound like an overstated knock knock joke, come see me tomorrow.
