RAWR!

I went to the Salvation Army today to get an exercise mat that I saw there yesterday. I've been wanting one to do sit-ups on to relieve some of the pain on my tailbone. So, I'm wandering around the store when one of the employees walks by with this tiger. She sets it on a counter and I do an immediate U-turn to check it out. I collect tigers and my bedroom is decorated in a tiger theme. Now normally, a stuffed animal is the last thing I'd buy at a thriftstore, aside from underwear or something icky like that. We have enough stuffed animals to open our own store. However, this guy caught my eye because of how big he was. Not only is he huge, but he's in perfect condition, too. I couldn't pass him up when I saw he was only $4.50. So, now he's sitting on my bed with my other 2 tigers. It's a king-sized bed and there's not much room for me and Rick now, so he'll have to sleep on the floor at night with his friends. Regardless, he's just too cool!

  2. Obviously, you needed this one *:) BTW I can see the followers and follow as well. Sometimes Blogger has a hiccup and that might explain the missing gadget. You should be able to see it now.

  3. What a gorgeous tiger! It's nice to know I'm not the only adult who has stuffed animals.

  4. If my SIL saw that, he'd probably want to buy it for my granddaughter. The only thing that could make it better would be if it were white!

  5. I agree with Bish. Good to know I'm not the only adult with stuffed animals. I sleep with a hippo!
