The Power Of The Precious Is Endless And Glorious

So, I was talking with Jess, my sister-in-law yesterday online, and somehow or another The Precious came of topic.  And, I told her that I no longer believed in The Precious.  And, I was horribly wrong.  I mean, I can't even begin to express to everyone how The Precious has changed my life when I accepted it as my personal Lord and Savior.  I was just being Doubting Thomas because, well, my driveway.  *sighs*.  If only I would have fully comprehended the Power of The Precious, I never would have uttered such blasphemy.

For those of you that think that I have lost my mind, I'll do a quick recap on The Precious and why you should discard all of the other false gods that you are currently worshiping!

A couple of months ago Travis, Jess, and I were innocently going into McDonald's (aka The Glorious Golden Arches) ad then we found it.  The Precious.  And it was the most beautiful thing we've ever witnessed.

And then we discovered that, if we changed our combos to Large size, we would then get more rewarded by The Precious.

As you all now are suspecting, The Precious is the McDonald's Monopoly game pieces.  I mean, not only could they be used on the paper Monopoly game board that we printed off online, but you could then use them to enter in codes to play an ONLINE version of Monopoly.  The more game pieces you had, the more moves you could make on the online game board.  I....it just felt *so* good and *so* right when we had multiple preciouses in our hands, Precious.

So, now you all know the horrible, lovely truth.

So, anyways, where I was going with this, is that I told Jessica that I no longer believed in The Precious and to believe in it was blasphemy.  But, after saying it, I repented my Brothers and Sisters in The Precious.  

This afternoon after coming home early from work, the village (yea, we don't even live in a town...we're so freaking sweet) was filling in my driveway that they destroyed.  They were digging up the old water lines and putting in, well, newer water lines *laughs*.  And the water line ran right under my driveway.  Well, they neglected to fill up the driveway all of the way (that portion of the driveway is stone) and there was this huge...trench.  And, well, my new car is really low to the ground and I kept on bottoming out my car.  Well, The Precious be praised, the village filled in the void to my driveway and to MY SOUL!!!!

Thank you Precious, thank you. 

Ohhh, and I saw the dentist today and he said that I had lovely teeth and I should thank my parents for my teeth.  So, thanks mom and dad.  Sure, you'll never read this...but, truly, just me acknowledging it to the world is really what you're after :)

1 - I hate it when something you've been "worshipping" turns out to be a false idol. I had a similar experience with Neopets; i was hooked for about six months and then one day it occurred to me I was obssessing over the care and feeding of a cartoon creature with no consciousness. I entered a 12 step program and was able to successfully kick the habit. I am glad you were able to rehab on your own!! (Comment this)

2 - (Jennifer--you simply have a highly addictive personality. Now it is pogo. And Zoë is now addicted to Speed Stackers.) I was saving the Monopoly pieces myself, for my friend Melissa. She seems to go through the drive through at McDonald's on the way to school with her kids every morning. Obviously I was not helping her cause any, since I gave her about 3 playing pieces in a months time. I told her if she won she had to give me some money-ha ha. Casey, have you actaully, or any of your similiarly addicted family and friends ever won anything? I like to collect things. You can ask jennifer--I obsessively clip bos tops off for school--even at her house when she tries to throw them away! The other day I was in the back of the minivan and noticed to my heart's glee, that one of my sweet children had carefully clipped a top from somewhere (I'm sure some friend's house, or their grandparent's) and attemted to bring it home. sad when you are happy to see your children are as OC as you are! Happy collecting! (Comment this)

3 - *sighs*

Sadly, we have won nothing except stupid downloadables from this website for cell phones. But it doesn't work on my phone and Jess doesn't want anything from the website. Yet, we kept on playing like fools and almost made ourselves sick over McDonald's. We have sworn off McDonald's until the McDonald's game starts up again! (Comment this)
