Some of you may have been wondering what tacky souvenir I got my BFF and Cockpit Comrade Katie when I was Up North the other weekend.

Let me tell you, reader - there was a lot to choose from. When we drove past THIS PLACE:

I knew. This is where I’d find it. Little did I know I’d also find one of the greatest. things. ever. beyond those bears, there.

FIRSTLY, this is what I bought Katie.

This is a shot glass THAT IS ALSO A MAGNET. Donned with multi-coloured well-wishes of “Vacation” , the words “Traverse City” are schlepped on, completely off-center. Multi-functional tacky. I liked it.

BUT IT GETS BETTER.

Last night, I changed out of my work clothes and slipped into something more AWESOME.

I don’t think you realize — this is an AIRBRUSHED CUT-OFF HOODIE.

Me: Is this not the GREATEST SHIRT YOU’VE EVER SEEN?

Katie: [cracking up] You look like you should be Krumping.

[doorbell rings. I go to answer it.  It's Jordan.]

Jordan: Hiiiii! (hugs)

Me: Hiiii! (hugs)

Katie: Why are you pretending like she’s not dressed like that?!?!?

Jordan: I’m not. Krump! Krump! Krump!

[Ten minutes pass. Front door opens. Matt joins us. Then, a little while later...]

Katie: Matt, I’m surprised you haven’t said anything about Jenn’s shirt.

Matt: I’ve been eyeing it since I got here. I’m obsessed.

Jenn:  Me. Too.

Matt: Can we throw a party, like, around that shirt?

I say yes.
