Yesterday we went to the Salvation Army thrift store for records. Sunshine looked through stacks and stacks of them and found quite a few that she thought she might like.
The thing about Sunshine is that she is tiny- 5'4" and about 110 lbs. She also has waist length magenta hair (that is the hair that would match how she feels on the inside... in case you are wondering...) Sunshine has very large, round blue eyes that seem more blue because of the offset magenta. Sunshine is a SWEET girl... but not very good at math and from the time she was a little girl she would get panicky in a store because she might not have enough money at the till.
There is always a little of that in her eyes when she gets to the till and because she is just so little and CUTE, people want to help her. So she arrived at the till with 25 records and was charged $10. Some of them were sets so she was charged less!
She's been lifting weights with her brother, but didn't get any weight lifting in yesterday since we were out. Apparently carrying 25 records is a workout, though!
We stepped out of the store and she stalled - "OH! They won't FREEZE will they?!" She had this look of abject horror on her face. I assured her that they most certainly wouldn't freeze.
Even now she is listening to the Mellow Moods collection from Reader's digest. She came in and read my post then hugged me and thanked me for putting up with her. I hugged her back and thanked her for being blog fodder.
The stereo that she bought, if anyone is interested. She got the one with a little table that goes under it, but it is pretty much the same as this.
Nice choice sunshine!
