While shopping at Target I found this on display:

It stopped me in my tracks (pun intended). This is the cutest friggin thing I’ve seen in a long time. I petted her, fed her carrots, and now I’m home and can’t stop thinking about her. I think Santa will be putting her under the tree this year. Madeline has begged for a horse for years but I keep saying no since I’m already the zookeeper for our dog, two rabbits, two hamsters, two tadpoles that refuse to become frogs, and fish. I have no desire to add cleaning up horse poop to my list of chores. Do you think this will suffice?

The commercial just came on while typing this. That’s an omen that I should buy it, right?

Underwear Girl, here are THE SHOES:

Update
Target does not have any pony’s in stock. In fact no stores have them in stock. Do you know why? Because they are on Ebay. 219 of them! They are selling for as much as $500. Could someone please enlighten me on how this happens? Seems to me that Furreal Friends Butterscotch Pony is this year’s toy scam. Why didn’t Hasbro make enough of them to meet demand? Where did these Ebay sellers get them? Why is this person selling the one she has if she plans to use the proceeds of the one she’s selling to buy one for her daughter. Huh? I refuse to succumb to the pressure. I did two years ago and paid nearly twice the price for a Video Now that broke a few months later. I’m not paying $400 for a pony that they may break or be bored with before Christmas break is over. I refuse to succumb. I refuse to succumb.
