Rabbits out of the warrens already

Burlington Coat factory doesn't give you a refund - even with in 48 hours. It's strictly store credit. I needed jeans anyway but I'm still annoyed - more that the cool hat I found didn't didn't come in my size than anything else.
Dollar Tree has Easter Stuff out already in case you need to shop for Easter baskets. They don't have a ton (there's a ton of Valentine's Day stuff) but fun head bands with rabbit ears and puppets and decent bags of grass. With 5 nieces and nephews on my side alone, it adds up fast. A puppet and a set of rabbit ears fills the basket pretty well. ;-) Some candy and a small kid specific toy and I'm good to go. ;-)
I stopped there on the way home for Valentine themed bags for cookies (they had them too). And they had fairy wings for a dollar. I bought two. I have no idea what I'll do with them yet but they were just too much fun to pass up. I just thought about going back for more and throwing the kids a "Fairy Tea Party" over the summer. hmmm...
Mr Bear is working late tonight (as opposed to usual [smirk]} and I'm contemplating a bath.
When I came out of the store this afternoon the sun had broken through the clouds and cast a wide, single gold beam on the seagulls in the parking lot. They looked like they were carved out of mother of pearl. It was beautiful.
Things I Am Grateful For
Mr Bear's voice on the phone
Heat
Puppets
Holidays
Moments of grace
Pink Lady Apples
The senseless joy of trying on hats in a mirror
Things I Want Today
A black bowler hat a la' Magritte
