Fridge Surprise

So I love it when I get a few extra minutes and my mind starts to think about things other than grad school, what's for dinner, or how much laundry is piling up and what is a good and reasonable excuse for avoiding it one more day. (Thanks to my creativity on that last one... I avoid it quite often, and Benj usually encourages it as well...that is, until we both start running out of things to wear.)

But on this specific occasion, I didn't need an excuse about laundry & I happened to be wandering around in the grocery store (it was a no list trip) wondering what else I may need. I ended up on the soda & chip aisle. I saw a pack of Benj's favorite rootbeer. It was on sale!

And the the next thing I knew I was headed home and it ended up in the fridge looking like this:

*Note: Our fridge doesn't look this trendy & cool in real life. That would be me and my crazy antics in Photoshop. I've taken up a new hobby and am still in that "totally in love" phase with it. So, is the pic true to life? Not really. But "hecka cool"? (yeah, learned that one from my nieces over Conference weekend) The answer to that would be... most definitely yes.

Anyway, by the time Benj got home from work, I'd been focused on probably 40-50 other projects (chronic multi-tasker, sick I know). I had forgotten that I'd even bought the stuff, let alone dressed it all up and stuck it in the fridge for him to find as a surprise. But it worked its magic... when he found it, I got that big grin...and it was "hecka cool".
