True Life: I'm Addicted to Target

No, that isn't a slang term for crack. I'm talking Target stores...ya know, the classier version of Walmart with the red bulls eye (when I worked promotions for the Nascar race, I was surprised to learn there are actually people walking the planet who have never been to a Target store and/or didn't know what it was. Beats me. I also have an addiction to Etsy, which I'm sure I'll talk about in the very near future). Anyways, back to the subject of Target...I found myself excitedly walking around last night during the first visit of the week, arms and basket full. And while being given a cart by a wonderful associate who is all too familiar with my presence, I had the thought what does my brain look like right now? I'm being serious! I'm thinking it probably looks like someone at the moment they shoot heroin-just orange blobs of happiness all over it. While doing some calculations in line at check-out, part of me understood that people do this all the time-they go places with the intention of filling their carts. But the other part of me knows that I only came in for a picture frame. And absolutely all of me knows this isn't the first time this has happened...because it literally happens every time I make a trip to The Big T. I mean I sat here right now and created this in less than 30 seconds-- Therapy: All's Right and Good Every Time. I'm not kidding, that was 30 seconds of raw emotion about Target and that was what poured out of my little orange brain. I'm starting to believe that my friends may be right and a full-blown intervention could be in order. Does anyone else have this problem with Target? Or any other store for that matter?

 A few of my purchases included a new coffee pot, a couple of different coffees, a new lamp for my nightstand, a picture frame to finally display my Barcelona painting in, and A Place of Yes: 10 Rules for Getting Everything You Want Out of Life by Bethenny Frankel (a person I'm obsessed with, who I'm sure will be referenced often).

I L-O-V-E the way this turned out!

Great book so far, and she is an even better role model
