Josh and I went to the supermarket today, to get a few things for Passover. Our big shopping trip though is next week and I DON'T want to think about how Anyways, as we were perusing the aisles, I noticed they had the candles that we use for our LIDiversary* cakes. I decided to bite the bullet and get the rest of the candles we'll need for the rest of our wait.
When we got to the cashier he looked at me like the RCA dog and quizzically asked, "Why do you need so many candles?!" Since I didn't feel like explaining our reasons, I shot back, "Oh we're baking a pie for a mathematician friend and we're putting candles representing pi on it." He said "Wow, that's so creative!" I just smiled back...

***C.J., we originally only bought candles 2 through 6 (and we had planned on getting 7-9 at a later date, since that's how long we naively thought the wait would be). We got a bunch more, plus a second 1 and a second 2. I still refuse to get the second 3...***

Me lurves the picture of the cowpie.
Uh...how many candles, precisely, did you buy? I'm hoping you're gonna have extras!
I am REALLY hoping that you don't need that second 2!!
Quick comeback! I wouldn't have been able to come up with that one. Very clever!
You WON'T need that second two.
What a great story about your engagement and why you celebrate with cake. Yummm!!! Everything tastes better with cake.
Awww. How cool was that how Josh popped the question. I love that you're carrying the cake tradition to your daughter. Don't buy the second 2. I'm praying that you won't need it.
Lisa ;-)
Whew...I was picturing second 3s....thanks for clarifying. I was gonna have to set up an intervention if you had gotten that candled-up.
You guys are hilarious!!! DON'T buy that 2!! I don't think we'll need it! (ok, so I'm in a rare, hopeful mood today...)
(by the way, I read the reason for the cake post -- how cute is that story?!??!)
Love the PI pic-- you rock.

I hear ya' about the carnage. It does get really scary doesn't it?
I agree with everyone else. Don't buy the other two.
That is hilarious about the store clerk. Hang in there! I'm hoping you won't break into the second 3 too.
Good answer! You are a quick gal!
Keep smilin!
I guess if you ask a stupid question, you deserve the answer you get!!! Hope you won't need that 2!!!
I hope the second 2 is for 12, not 21....I'll lose my mind if we hit the 20 month phase.
Very clever comeback though! Now I need to go check your LID....I'm wondering about the 2's.
;0)
points for creative thinking on the fly!
