Linking this up as My Favorite Post for the Show and Tell Tuesday with Momfessionals
Whew, what a year!! I don't know about you but two things happen for me the week after Christmas. I get depressed and emotional but then by the end of the week, I start getting reflective on the year and thankful that we made it through mostly happy and healthy. Something else I'm thankful for and reflecting upon is blogging and what it has done to my heart! New friendships have been creative, I've become smarter with all your awesome ideas and I just feel a little bit better about "me" and about how many good, gracious and wonderful people there are in this world.
In reflecting I was asked what is your favorite post of 2015 and while there are many, it would have to be the "9 Things That Inevitably Happen At Target" as probably 99% of Target Shoppers can relate. So, since many of you are new readers, here is a re-post of such a fun one to write:
Ladies, you know what I'm talking about. Oh yeah. the rush, the deals, the beauty. Target beckons us!! It does, that red bulls eye is the symbol of life. The epitome of our shopping lusts and addictions! lol
So, it goes something like this.......
1. You go in for eyeshadow and almond butter. It'll take what? 5 minutes? 10 tops?
You come out 1 hour later with a cart full and you forgot the darn eyeshadow.
2. You will not look in the dollar bins
Only on your way in, you saw those red and white checked plastic hot dog holders and well, you WILL have a backyard BBQ this summer
3. AFTER You throw your hot dog holders in the cart, you tell yourself no more,
NO MORE
But you have to go on the other side and that's where you fight some lady over the last teal and white damask clipboard. She, as the more mature lady, decides it's not worth the fight.
You Holler a tiny "victory"!!!!
4. You tell yourself you won't look at clothes
But then you will definitely look at clothes, someone left the "I don't sweat, I sparkle" tank on the end cap. Hmmm, what else is looking cute today?
5. You think to yourself, “Hmm, I just looked at the home decor last week.”
So, of course, you go look to see if anything has changed. I mean, maybe they got some new rugs in.
6. You will not go into the hair care aisle
Guess what you're doing tonight? Dying your hair a beautiful shade of extra light natural blond (got it on clearance) and using a bristle brush.
7. You pass the nail polish aisle and stop to take a look, even though you have plenty at home.
So you grab a purple push-up OPI and hot pink sizzle Essie.
Well you don't have these shades yet.
8. You realize you’ve spent too much time in Target and really need to leave.
Wait, you have to look at the accessories first! You need a Blue Fedora with a white band (and its on clearance) 's go with your swimsuit next Summer.
9. Making your way to checkout, you say "I will not use my RED card, I will not use my RED card"
Cashier: "Do you want to save 5% and use your Red Card?" Me: "Heck yeah I do"
(who cares about the 22.9 % APR, it's Target...you'll pay it off so you can what? Yep, buy more stuff!)
What did I just do??? I'm good with Target, for awhile.......til next week!
Gosh, I miss her!! My husband always used to compare me to her at the holidays. Oh, the memories. Maybe I'll dress as her for Halloween this year. Bet Target has a costume!
