70 years of staying classy

I AM SO EXCITED!  Probably overly so but I don't care.  I was SO EXCITED last night that I WAS ACTUALLY TALKING LIKE THIS!  SO. EXCITED! 

Don't worry.  I was in Ross right before closing.  Not too embarrising for the CRAZY PERSON BEING OVERLY! EXCITED!

I was spending the evening with my friend Sharon (who's actually my ex-high school boyfriends mom...we've been friends since then even though he & I have not.  Yes, HARD CORE.) having dinner (local Mexican joint which is AWESOME!) and going to Ulta.  We ended up walking the plaza and window shopping.  At least, until we wandered into Ross.  There was no window shopping what I found.  I HAD to buy it. 

HAD. TO! 

I know you're wondering what I am rambeling on so excitedly about. 

WHAT?  TELL ME! (I know what you are yelling at your computer)

This is what I found and ultimately bought...

The 70th Anniversary Untimate Collector's Edition Box Set of The Wizard of Oz.  For $29.99.



It includes...
Wizard of Oz 70th Anniversary 5 Disc Amazon Exclusive in LIMITED and NUMBERED one-of-a-kind collectible packaging - Contains 16 Hours of Enhanced Content, Four of Which Are Brand New, Including New Documentaries, Featurettes, Digital Copy on Disc and Rare and highly collectible memorabilia.

Per Amazon.

I've seen it advertised anywhere from $69.99 (on Amazon) to being on sale for $50 something elsewhere (WB).  $29.99 is super awesome, is it not?!  I figured if I'd go buy just the DVD it'd be $19.99 so I spent $10 for all the extras.  I don't care about the watch or some of the other stuff but the book is interesting & the additional film footage & behind the scenes footage is totally worth $10.  I have yet to see it but come on...it's the Wizard of Oz.  Total classic. 

Epic!  really.

I was so giddy last night when I ran across it.  It was the only one (of course).  I, also, finally got Batman Returns for $3.99.  I'm good on entertainment for at least the end of the month when I leave for vacation. 

Sharon was impressed too so I don't feel like too big of a dork but she sort of loves me so maybe we are two dorks in a pod. 

Anyway, it's a super awesome find right??
