Now the Holloways are even cooler...

We bit the bullet..

We became members of a wholesale club.

We are only a minivan away from becoming a true American family..

Because nothing says American like buying a half ton jar of mayonnaise.

The truth is..

We love BJ's.

The first time we went I was so overwhelmed

I felt like crying.

The kids had meltdowns.

(note the use of plurals)

And I was fearful we would never find our way out of the aisles of canned goods.

(again note the use of plurals)

But we managed to get out and every subsequent trip has become easier..

dare I say, enjoyable.

The only problem is now BJ's has made me aware of things that I never even knew I needed.

Make your own soda machine

I need that

Belt drive USB turntable

I don't even know what you are

but I have a coupon

and you are shiny,

so yes, I need you.

A Greenhouse.

Absolutely.

Inflatable Kayak.

Neither my fear of kayaking

or my fear that inflatable kayak truly doesn't sound that safe

will keep me from needing this.

$200 ice cube maker

It doesn't matter that I already have the ability to make ice,

If it sells for $200 it must make gourmet ice..

I think I like gourmet ice.

Metal Detector.

I am still trying to fathom how I made it 26 years without one.

Well, that is all for now.

I am going to drink a not home made soda with inferior ice.

Oh you BJ's, with your magical ice machines and tubs of peanut butter.

Sometimes you make it hard to live in the real world.
