Target Treasures

I did it. I actually lost the best pair of sunglasses I've ever owned. They were perfect! Durable black plastic frames. The lenses oval and just the right size so I didn't look like a bug. The tint a nice, dark shade so I didn't have to squint even with them on in the Texas sun. Finally, a delicate set of rhinestones on each side with just enough sparkle to say, "Why yes I'm a Princess, but don't worry because I've got it under control." Those precious pair of shades are now in the hands of some other fortunate person because they disappeared somewhere between Lovefield and Harlingen when I was out of town last weekend. I know. I know. Why would I let such a splendid pair of sunglasses out of my sight in order for them to go missing? I'm incredibly right brained (that means scatterbrained). This meant I needed to add sunglasses to my Target list when I went today.

Aside from new sunglasses, the purpose of my Target trip only had a few objectives: get the $5 DVD copy of Sense and Sensibility, get Will a toddler pillow for the TODDLER ROOM during nap time (still having a hard time adjusting to this), and get Will a backpack since diaper bags are for the infant room:(. I did find my DVD quickly and headed to the Back-to-School section. Then the great dilemma was whether Will would get the Buzz and Woody backpack or the plain gray/green one. Both were $10 so that didn't make a difference. Then it occurred to me that even though the bag would belong to Will, Chris or I would be carrying it. I don't believe either of us relished the thought of walking around with Buzz and Woody on our backs. The toddler pillow, however, does have a friendly picture of Buzz and Woody. (What's with all the Toy Story stuff you may wonder. Well, it was either Toy Story or Hello Kitty or Disney Princesses or Tinkerbell or Dora the Explorer-starting to see the problem?) Now all I had to find were sunglasses.

Since I'm not any type of optical-wear aficionado, I thought I would be out of luck. I finally found a pair that were identical to the ones I lost in every aspect except the rhinestones. Boo. Oh well, I suppose I'll have to find other ways to express the royal highness within. In order to cheer myself up, I thought it would be a good time to purchase some new underwear (it also happened that Hanes Her Way were on sale). It is the first time since my son was born (in April 09) that I have purchased patterned and colored underwear. That's right. I've been living in a plain white cotton underpants world for the past year. And with these new patterns and colors, let me tell you, it's liberating!

So from my top to my bottom (get it?) I would consider this Target trip very successful.
