Jen's Journal

After having Cam around for 3 days and still no birthday purchases I realized my time was running out. He had just bought a new bike, and I thought if he could tell me an accessory to go with it that would be a great present. I was almost convinced to get him a water bottle and matching cage, and then I realized how lame that would be. Time was ticking and Cam was now leaving the next morning. It was at that point we made and impromptu trip to Walmart!

The idea was to get a bungee cord, (or three), to tie the bike to the back of Cam's car. The trip ended up being a gold mine of birthday presents!

We started out down the camping aisle grabbing 3 sets of bungee cords, (3@2.90). Next we strolled past the sporting goods only to find that Frisbees were being proudly displayed at an everyday low price. We grabbed one that came with an instructional CD on how to play Ultimate, (1@$14.34). I was thinking that this was good but did we stop there? NO! We headed down the snack aisles where yet another item caught Cam’s eye. It was a bag of dill pickle Doritos (1@$3.25). The idea sounded bizarre and frightening to me, however, after Cam described their irresistible taste I was sold. I was just about home free when Cam realized no road trip would be complete without liquorice. One bag of Supernibs (1@$2.00), under our arms we headed to the cashier.

And if you don’t think that was enough I then took Cam for a juice and donut at Tim Horton’s. I must admit Cam is a very luck boy as to have as giving a big sister as I.

PS. This is Cams new bike.
