Changing*

When I was just a wee little lassie, I found going to the store to be a long boring experience.

I still do.

But I went for pretty much the same reasons I go now. STUFF.

Let's face it, the majority of the world loves STUFF. Useful stuff, crappy stuff, expensive stuff. Stuff stuff stuff STUFF. We like to stuff stuff full of stuff, so to speak.

But when I was a short and adorable I had one thing on my mind as we approached check-out.

Disney Adventures**.

I'm not sure if any of you remember or have even heard of Disney Adventures magazine. I do. It was awesome. I happened across it one time and begged for somebody to buy it for me. It proceeded to keep me company for the rest of the time I had it, heck I still have every copy I ever got.

Disney Adventures was basically the Entertainment Weekly of kids and teens. And it had comics and puzzles and articles. I just loved it.

Every time we went to the store I looked for the tiny magazine. I searched every time for four years. I didn't find it often. In that four year span before I discovered it had been discontinued I only collected six. But man did I love my Disney Adventures.

Nowadays I look for different things. Cinnamon Altoids. Wintergreen Tic Tacs. A My Little Pony coloring book. Cow Tails.

I guess maybe I haven't really changed as much as I thought. I'm okay with that. In fact, I think I'm going to go make a blanket fort and read Disney Adventures.
