I knew I had missed something during my posts about our vacation, but it didn’t occur to me until a friend asked, “So how was the sheep?”
Let me tell you ’bout thems sheep… as we photo-travel to a fantastical place call SHEEPWORLD!
We went to the equivalent of a petting zoo off Highway 1 on our way to Auckland. It’s properly named “Sheepworld”, thanks to an extravagant collection of wool-bearing bottomless pits. Equipped with a $2 bag of feed, John and I visited sheep after sheep after…
Holy smokes, Batman, is that an alpaca I see?
I’m going to back up a little more. On the plane trip to New Zealand, I read an article about women’s intuition, courtesy of a Women’s Heath magazine. It claimed if there’s a time to follow your gut, it’s when making special purchases. If you see something you really want - and you leave it thanks to “better judgment” – there’s a chance you’ll regret your decision later, like buyer’s remorse a la reverse psychology.
Back to the fantastic alpaca… I’m petting his winner-fur in a fit of effing glee. Then we get into the gift shop, where I get to manhandle an alpaca pillow case. I know I’m still in a euphoric state. This pillow case is a hundred bucks, but I’m molesting it like no other. Afterwards, I’m thinking, “No way a pillow case is worth that much.” So I walk out of Sheepworld. I convince myself to leave by saying, “Get it later.”
Even now, two weeks after our vacation, I yearn for that oh-so-soft product. I should’ve bought the alpaca pillow case. If you go to Sheepworld, when you pick it up, think of me! You must bring that pillow case home.
Why didn’t you say you were in my country
>_>
Derp. o.o
It wasn’t something the occurred to me, honestly. Getting ready for our trip was really hectic! Back when we first planned it, I was in a different job. Lots of things slammin’ at once.
