This post is dedicated to Judy Ramos, who has encouraged me to blog more than once.I had the urge to shop today.
It all started when I made what I thought would be a quick trip to Wal-Mart to pick up some essentials. So after grabbing some body lotion and wart remover liquid (they've returned!), my cart veered toward the kitchen section. Nothing really caught my eye there, so off I went to the home decor aisles. I think I was looking for something to hang on a wall in my living room. Didn't find anything there either, though it was all priced just right.
After several minutes, I found myself wondering what other aisles in Wal-Mart might have something I've been looking for. (Don't ask me what those things are.) I believe I browsed all of the following aisles during this "quick trip": health & beauty, kitchen appliances, vacuum cleaners, picture frames, fabric & sewing (Have I ever sewn even one complete article of clothing...ever...in my entire life? I really don't think so.), fake flowers, and home decor. I might have continued browsing, but as I wasn't finding anything that was just right, I finally decided to leave and head for Target (which is certainly more stylish).
I'm beginning to bore myself, so let me hurry this anecdote along...
Went to Target, found some wall hangings -- too expensive for an impulsive purchase. Found an ottoman, also too expensive. Decided to buy "Apples to Apples" and "Catch Phrase". Got a CD holder for the sun visor in my car. Got some square, glass cannisters for my kitchen.
Got an oil change. Paid extra for high-mileage Valvoline oil. Will be getting $8 back from mail-in rebate.
Came home. Made mini-pizzas. Looked at my new games and thought about how I don't have anyone to play them with. (Amy said--via Gmail chat--that that was an "only child" kind of thing to do.) Blogged. About to eat freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and watch Extreme Makeover Home Edition...one of the only things that can make me cry these days. How shallow.
Goodnight....
