I felt like numbers...

Every Friday Grandma goes to the beauty shop (aka- a woman who does hair in her garage and has forever). This means that every Friday I have a little over an hour for scheduled "me time."

As I left Grandma, I was not sure what I wanted to do. Should I: 1. Sit at Starbucks and read? 2. Drive around and simply explore? Or 3. Go to Target.

Number 1 sounded good but I have plenty of time to sit around. Number 2 is never fun for the directionally challenged people in the world and I happen to be one of those people. Number 3 could be dangerous due to the fact that I love Target. However, I decided to go there for numerous reasons. I know how to get there and get back to the beauty garage. We needed toilet paper. It offered a chance for me to walk around my happy place. So, off I went.

The Results or Damage... depending on perspective:

1. Super Targets have Starbucks. I did not have time to make it to the Super Target so I went to plain old Target. This plain old Target has Starbucks!!! Wahoo for Caramel Brulee Lattes. Pure yumminess and even better thanks to some "going away" gift cards.

2. Toilet paper. This is neccessary.

3. Amazing storage stuff to help get my Scrapbook/ Craft area ready to go! (I did have to make another trip Saturday morning to get a few more things). Here is a pic of my work in progress. I cannot wait to get busy crafting!


4. My Friday Tradition is born. Starbucks while walking around Target. Who can argue with that?

Target is my happy place as well. I LOVE it! Even if I don't have a nickel to spend in there, I love walking around looking at everything. It's saved me from the craziness on more than one occassion. So glad you're here! Love you - Sara

So I used to live just a block away from Target. I would take a walk to the store on late Sunday afternoons. This accomplished to things...exercise and getting me out of the house. I didn't have much money at the time so I made sure I left the wallet at home. Strolling the iles of Target was the best...not hurried, no shopping target in mind (no pun intended) and just seeing what new wonders I could find. Happy Strolling...

I am so in love with the caramel brulees myself. I'm so glad you're blogging, so that we can keep up with you! :)
