Teddy Bears

The girls have a new addiction: Build-a-Bear teddy bears (a shop just opened in our new fancy shopping mall). The girls spend all their pocket money on bears and bear clothing. Can't blame them. The bears are really cute. But the stuff is pretty expensive. I just checked out their website. The prices are roughly the same in Germany and the US, except we pay the same amount in EUR instead of dollars. Also, the US shops have a much better selection. There is even an Irish Dance outfit. And the Buzz Lightyear outfit... we don't have those here. :-(

Anyway, we now have way too many bears in our home. I told the girls that some of the other soft toys will have to make way for the new ones. Of course, all my old childhood soft toys will have to stay. And my two Star Trek teddies? Would never part with them!

I love teddies. ;-)

I just signed up for an <a href="http://antennapedia.livejournal.com/245614.html">Ethan ficathon</a>. Not sure if it's a good idea, since I haven't written fanifc in ages, but I couldn't resist. Wish me luck. :-)
