My New Toy!!!

For some reason, I have always wanted an old fashioned popcorn on wheels. Well, I am now a proud owner of one. We don't have a home theatre or even a big flat screen TV to go along with it, but we can eat very fresh, movie theatre like popcorn. Ashley told me that it was not right to have such a cool toy and not have the big flat screen TV hanging on our wall to go with it. We will just have to make due for now.

I came across this very cool toy on Saturday while I was shopping with my sister-in-law Jaime at some antique and consignment stores. The popcorn machine was in the very back corner of one of the first stores we went in. I made a comment on how I had always wanted one and just noticed there was not a price on it and figured I couldn't afford it and walked on. Well, several stores and an hour later I decided I needed to go back and ask the price of the popcorn machine. Jaime and I had formulated a plan of what we were going to say so that we could get the best deal possible. I was totally prepared to make the man and offer and work some magic. Well, luckily I didn't have to. I asked him what he would take and it was way lower than I ever imagined. SOLD!!!! It has only been used a couple of times, so he says. I brought it home and cleaned it up and it looks like new. Ashley is currently waiting impatiently to get the popcorn popping under way. Needless to say, if this new toy turns out to be a dud, there will be a few disappointed people at the Morgan house.

I love popcorn and especially movie popcorn. That is the biggest reason I will go to a movie. The popcorn and soda are my meal. Can't wait to try it out for myself. LOL Mom

How cool that you put the popcorn adventure in writing! Even though I was suffering from the bird-flu it was completely worth it, that we were able to bring home our precious popcorn maker. And yes I said "our" as in yours and mine. It seems only fair that we talk about joint custody? LOL
