Sponge Bob Squarepants lived under
the sea in a little town
called Bikini Bottom.
He is quirky...that's why I adore him!

| Sponge Bob SquarePants is an energetic and optimistic sea sponge (although his appearance more closely resembles a kitchen sponge) who lives in a pineapple under the sea with his pet snail, Gary, who meows like a cat. Although Gary only actually "speaks" very little the characters have shown an ability to understand him. Living two houses down from Sponge Bob is his best friend, Patrick Star, a dim-witted yet friendly pink sea star who lives under a rock. Even despite his "Mental Setbacks", Patrick still sees himself as intelligent. Sponge Bob's next-door neighbor and co-worker is Squidward Tentacles, an arrogant and ill-tempered squid who lives in an Easter Island moai and dislikes his neighbors (especially Sponge Bob) for their child-like behavior. He works at a hamburger joint making crabby patties (hamburgers) but hates his job working at the restaurant called the Krusty Krab. Sponge Bob and Squidward's employer is former officer cadet for the Bikini Bottom Navy force and war veteran Eugene Krabs, a miserly crab obsessed with money, who is the owner of the Krusty Krab restaurant. Mr. Krabs’ archenemy is Sheldon Plankton, a small green cope pod who owns a low-rank fast-food restaurant called the Chum Bucket across the street from the Krusty Krab. Plankton spends most of his time planning to steal the recipe for Mr. Krabs's popular Krabby Patty burgers to obtain success though his schemes always end in failure. |

| Plankton Ok, Ok...So Ty is making Sponge Bob beanies. Cute! Love them! And of course think the sonshines need them. I stopped at the grocery store on the way home from work one day and seen them. Yippee!!! So I get each sonshine a beanie (1 sponge Bob & 1 Patrick). They love them (of course!), but... Shawn asks what other characters there were so I told him the ones I had seen. He asked, "No Squidward?" I told him "No, I guess not". Welllll, I sit at work one night...its slow...I am bored... usually equals $$$. This time was nooooo different! I googled Squidward beanie. They made him alright! A limited few. Very few. They are $$$. I CAN find it cheaper I think to myself...so the mission is on! Looong story short... I found Squidward AND all the other characters we did not have and NEEDED. A SET?!?!?! Could it really be? What? The price is in pounds? Shoot, its from another country!? I think to myself if I add the set to my cart it will convert to $ right? Nope! So, just for my obssessive compulsive disorder's sake I added 2 sets to the cart. One for each sonshine. I had NO PLANS on actually checking out, but just going along the site until it converted to $ for me. It asked me to log into PayPal. Ahhh! This will be where it will convert to $, I just KNOW it! So, I log in and hit continue (I always hit continue, cause then you verify your order and hit submit). OH NO! Why does the screen say "Thank You for your order! A copy of your order will be emailed.....?" What to do? So, I quickly went to the PayPal site and logged in. Yup! I bought them alright... Hmmm! What is the conversion you ask? Sob! Sob! Chris is gonna be sooo mad!!! The final cost is...$140.00 No returns, No exchanges, No exceptions. Tissue please... I am gonna be sick... :( |

yep...I a couple things here because of that, yikes, not good! Just don't tell Chris!!! (now that all of blogland knows,oops)!!!!
oh NO!!! is it bad that i'm sort of chuckling? if nothing else, you can always tell chris it's an investment, put the set in a fireproof safe (don't let the kiddos see them, of course!) and in 20 years, sell them for double what you paid. or something like that. of course, sometimes little ones' delighted faces are really worth $140. ;)
