CB: McKinley
Jan. 31st, 2018 07:51 amSometime last fall, September maybe?, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
venivididolli gave a head's up that Charlie Bears were finally coming to the US QVC. I was off and watched a fair amount of the show online and then they got around to McKinley and I waffled and wibbled and debated for a fair amount of time. CBs aren't cheap and it's the biggest reason I tend to look at her posts about them with half an eye because I am not made of money. Which is why I could say no during the broadcast... right up until I couldn't. I think I got in juuuuuust under the wire on my order (and it took some literal running around to get my password sorted and find my credit card) before he sold out.
And so I waited and worried that
a) I would regret dropping the cash because if I'm honest, I love me some cheap teddy bears and also I've mostly stopped buying them because I feel bad when they don't get enough snuggles.
b) I would wind up with a new expensive hobby
Plus, the cat is notorious for finding ways to get into things you would never think possible and the next thing you know there's a weird stain (and not an ew, cat, why kind just way but a how did you get into the purple shampoo and why did you hop onto my work shirt to wipe it off sort of way) ... basically I wondered if I'd either set my money ablaze or set my future money ablaze. I worry, it's what I do, though I was reasonably sure that if it turned out I didn't like him, ebay wouldn't be too difficult to deal with the situation.
It's been a few months and I'm still pretty smitten. McKinley lives on my hope chest with Teddy and Edward but I figured maybe he'd like some photos just because.
( Blather behind the cut. )
McKinley remains an only CB for now, though I do hope they'll be back on QVC so I can peruse some more and possibly find him a friend.
