We get to the dollar section and what is sitting there? One lonely little gnome...poor little guy...all alone...how sad! I double checked my purse and (of course) what had I done? Forgotten my Target Gift Card!!! (The world stopped. Thunder struck. Screams were heard... possibly from me... and tears formed in the corner of my eyes.) I could not figure out a way to rationalize spending $1 on my debit card and unfortunately a Target shopping spree was not in the budget this week. So I sulked out of Heaven, I mean Target, with my cousin laughing at me.
"You are weird," she says to me. (Um DUH, you are too...remember, we are related...I refrain from saying this aloud)
"But gnomes ROCK!" I explain. She stares at me with confusion, or possibly fear that I have gone completely crazy. I couldn't tell the difference. It was clear what I needed to do to make her understand. I needed to start from the beginning.............
Last year my husband an I took a trip to North Carolina. It was the same time of the year and Target once again had Gnomes in the dollar section. I HAD to get them. I mean isn't it obvious...we were travelling....we NEEDED them! (Helllllloooo Roaming Gnomes!!!) So I bought one for each of us and they sat beside us the entire trip.
Oh No! Dear Husband is driving...I can't look!
It's ok guys. I'll keep you are safe up here, you just rest up.
Oh No! We're Lost!
Oh....did I tell you to turn that way? My bad...
It's an early morning, just because Marybeth doesn't like coffee doesn't mean I don't!
That was some Nasty Coffee! (Should have listened to Marybeth!)Now OBVIOUSLY you can see why this was necessary....right?!?! After our trip to North Carolina with my awesome Roaming Gnomes, it is safe to say...it was love. Now I need to have gnomes for everything. Unfortunately, the story didn't help her understand. She still thought I was crazy. But I'm not, I swear! You understand...Right? RIGHT!!!!

Oh, and I have to share with you the coolest desktop background I found the other day... it's so cool in fact that I have it on both my desktop AND my laptop... every time I go hang out to write somewhere people notice my gnomes!
It's some random website in dutch I think... but the gnomes ae still so awesome! http://www.fafoulitis.be/2009/03/27/sneeuwwitje-in-maart/
From Wikipedia - A gnome is a mythical creature characterized by its extremely small size and subterranean lifestyle. When a group of Gnomes is present the collective term is a donsy of Gnomes. The term originates from the British word Donsie meaning tidy and neat. It is believed to refer to the well turned out appearance of the Gnomes, rather than the habitats they are often found in.
You probably already know this:)
Jamie that site rocks! I can't wait till my husband gets home and sees the gnomes!! hahahaha.... Read away! That's why I wrote it ;) Glad to know I have a long lost twin!!!

LOL Whatever floats your boat.
Gnomes area a completely necessary part of society. They help ease the tension of anyone looking in their general vicinity. BTW I miss your gnome pic posting it every now and again would be very kind of you. ;)
