What a terrific find!

So I spent some time shopping for (the rest of the) school supplies (yes, school has already started here in the South!), and I decided to pay a visit to a few store I hadn’t been to in a very long time…

I went to Office Max, Office Depot and Circuit City. While my hubby browsed in the electronic section, I ran off next door to Toys R Us. I was greeted by a very friendly manager and I immediately told him I was looking for “ANYTHING Hello Kitty”—

He said they didn’t have anything but I should try the clearance section and possibly the girls’ accessories section.

He ran me all around the store to look at stuff, most of it was candy on a string.

We walked passed all the Care Bears, My Little Ponies, and Strawberry Shortcake, and I exclaimed “how can you not have Hello Kitty?”…

He smiled and said “I’m sorry we don’t have anything right now, but you’re welcome to come back and give us another try in a few weeks…”

He knew I was disappointed and then he said: “I’m pretty sure I have a very cute tin with 4 Hello Kitty pez dispensers—- how old is the child you’re shopping for…?”

I looked him square in the eye and I said, “I’m 40 and candy is not what I’m looking for!!!”

The poor guy was stunned and was at a loss for words. I left him standing there while I ran to the books & stationery  section for one last desperate look—-and OMG this is what I found!!!!

ISBN: 1601390858  Hello Kitty Giant Sticker Activity Book (over 700 stickers) 2007

This book is not listed ANYWHERE; not book-a-million; not barnes & noble; not ebay; not amazon.com and nowhere  on the internet…

Is this a lucky buy or what…?!?!?!?!? I guess you know by now that I’m just ecstatic!
