Joe and I got tickets to The Simpsons Movie midnight showing. Just under an hour and a half to go, and I. Can't. Wait.

Oh, sprinklicious
Donut, I've waited so long
To eat you for real

You don't disappoint
With your pink frosting and oh
So many sprinkles

Even Comic Book
Store Guy wants to eat you up
But I won't let him

Squishee, my squishee
You are so cool and so sweet
I drank you too quick!

My gluttony has
Given way to brain-freeze, still
I love the Squishee.

Frosted Krusty O's
For breakfast. What a special
Treat for me today.

My inner nine year
Old has been waiting for this
Nearly twenty years.

I always thought they'd
Be more like Cheerios, but
No. More like Froot Loops.

Why yes, that is yours truly loitering outside the Kwik-E-Mart sipping a Squishee. And no, Joe and I weren't the only nerdy Simpsons fans there taking pictures of this converted 7-11.

In case you didn't know, eleven 7-11's around the US were converted into Kwik-E-Mart's in celebration (or whatever) of The Simpsons Movie coming out at the end of July. One of those was in Bladensburg, MD (just outside DC), and only about 15 miles away from me! WooHoo! This is definitely one of the only times I was glad to live in the area I do since only a few 7-11's were converted, and they were in major cities.

Anyhoo, since I have been watching The Simpsons since age 9 - when the first season started - I've always want to go to Springfield. But of course, since it's a cartoon, I knew it was never going to be.

UNTIL NOW!!! (Sorta)

Let's take a tour of the Bladensburg Kwik-E-Mart, shall we? Here are a few shots of the building's exterior.

Moving indoors, we run into a few familiar faces. There's Apu guarding the magazines!


And Homer. Eating, of course.


And little Ralphy.


Ralphy's dad, Chief Wiggum was there as well, hangin' by the Squishee machine, but we had our hands full so I didn't get a photo of him. =[

I did happen upon Jasper in the freezer, though!


While there, we got ourselves some Squishees and few cans of Buzz Cola. We got there kind of late, though, and the Krusty O's were totally gone. They are apparently also selling copies of Radioactive Man (according to some random dude we talked to outside), and if I don't get a copy, I just might die.

Anyway, here a few other items of interest from inside the Kwik-E-Mart. Enjoy!

Because Hops did it, and I thought hers was cute. =]

You can do yours here.

Whew!

No worries. My computer genius (or perhaps more detail oriented, in this case) hubby figured out how to get us entered into The Simpsons Movie premier sweepstakes. Thank god! I was seriously stressing about it (because I'm kinda lame like that).

And now we play the waiting game...

I own all seasons of The Simpsons up to the ninth.
