Shopping
When I was an early teenager, my mom used to say that she hated shopping. I couldn't believe it. In fact I thought, "What a complete NERD!" Well you all know that I am now a nerd and needless to say, we all inevitably turn into some form of our mothers. Here I am, at 31, hating shopping. I got a gift card as a belated birthday gift. I wanted to spend it today. I wanted something specific, which is the first way to guarantee yourself a terrible shopping trip, but I had seen khaki jackets with matching pants at Kohls last week, so I figured I'd get that. I go there, they have a few jackets left, but there is not a single pair of pants in the store that match- they had them last week, but are all sold out now. Okay, I'm calm. Let me look around and find the same kind of thing, but different. They've got plenty of pants. They've got a decent number of jackets. BUT THEY DON"T MATCH. I walked around and around trying to match different things-they didn't match. I finally decided to just change my goal and get something else, but by then I was in such a bad mood that I knew I wouldn't be able to like anything, so I left. An hour and a half WASTED!!
So I go to Target to get Jack a Halloween bucket for his candy- that I'll eat, but he'll get eventually through the breast milk process. It's still his candy. It's not the same as if I took the girls' candy. Right? You see my point. ANYWAYS, little felt trick or treating bags $8.00. That is just robbery. Some little girl is sitting at a sewing machine for 16 hours a day sewing those bags and earning just enough food to live off of and Target is charging $8.00-unbelievable. I bought Jack a plastic Hulk head $3.00 for 10cents worth of plastic-whatever. To end my fabulous shopping trip, I decide to buy myself a Dr. Pepper. Not a single one. Can you believe that? What's more unbelievable is that the Target Greatland by my house has two Pepsi coolers for every one Coke cooler at the checkout lanes. Who makes these decisions? Do people actually drink Pepsi? Do twice as many people like Pepsi as Coke? I find that hard to believe. Most people I know prefer Coke.
Personal Message: EKS- I know you prefer Pepsi and I need your right blog address and email.
