What happens when you are sent by your boss to "bring me back a surprise" while going out for a quick trip to the convenience store to score a nice cold beverage?
Pink foam whale hats and cheeseburgers in paradise.
No joke!
On Thursday, Erin, Tessa and I ventured out to White Hen in search of a few cold drinks and a pickle for Jayne. It just so happened that we chose to browse the *new* Vineyard Vines collection at Puritan on our way down Main Street. What a fantastical idea that was...
Turns out they were having some re-donculous shin-dig in honor of the re-donculously overpriced beachy "casual" wear from Vineyard Vines... it was party central in that place!! A guy playing his keyboard singing Jimmy Buffett, caterers walking around with mini cheeseburgers (with or wothout ketchup, btw), pigs-in-s-blanket, shrimp COCKtail, and freaking oysters on the half shell. G.R.O.S.S.
We were excited to score some flippin' sweet pink foam whale hats, kinda like the giamnt foam fingers you can get a baseball games... and they were FREE! We left the hoity-toity fiesta that was Puritan, and continued on our journey down Main Street, Erin and I proudly sporting our new hats and carrying a cheeseburger for Jayne. Tessa, mortified and not wanting any part in the whale hats.
Hey, she said she wanted us to bring her back a surprise, right??
HILARIOUS.
Though the real question should be, who sends someone out for some cold drinks and a pickle??
Glad you're having an entertaining and fulfilling day at work! I'm at work now and I am NOT entertained and definitely NOT fulfilled.
Have a nice day!

OMG what will you two get up to next, I can empathise with Tessa completely. Guess Jayne won't be sending you out for cold drinks and a "surprise" any time soon LOL
