Carried away

The last two days have been pretty quiet. Work at the hospital and some time for friends. Last night I joined Megs, Max, Matt and John at B-dub's for yummy dinner and trivia. Megs, John and I all won one game and then consumed yummy chocolate cake. I only ate a little being completely stuff with wings and onion rings. Afterwards, I got to go shopping, which doesn't seem that bad except I got to shop with the hospital's procurement card (i.e., shopping with other people's money). I bought a ton of toys for the kids in our program. Amazing what you can find at Target for $4.99! MP3 players, Transformers, Polly Pockets, stamp and stickers boxes, the list goes on and on. I filled an entire cart (only one, I did restrain myself that much) with lots of toys, but I have to admit that I did get a little carried away. From what I calculated, I bought approximately 50 toys. The check-out lady was really impressed with my shopping skills.
This morning, I got to unload my haul. I felt like a kid myself and wanted to play with all the toys. I got the seal of approval from the ladies I work with, except Maura who said I sucked because my team had better toys than hers, but I still take that as a compliment. Well, normally, we keep all those toys in a Rubbermaid bin, a 20 gallon or so (?). Well, let's just say my excitement got to the point that the bin was full as well as the cabinet in front of the bin. Yay for toys! There will be some happy children coming to visit us in the next year or so!
