another unhealthy love

i actually don't know anything about healthy love. but today i reacquainted with a love that i had not until today realized was unhealthy.

that love is target. i have now been 3 times in 1 week, even tho i don't even live close to a target. i can't exactly figure out why i went today, but i am glad i did. last time, i bought a cheap croquet set. i had been wanting to buy a bocce set for like a year, but it turns out they are expensive, so i did not, but then at target they have these things on sale for $15 and i decided that a croquet set was better than bocce for parties, so i bought that. but then at jim's BBQ, jen was saying she would like bocce. and i figured that for $15, which is like 12 minutes worth of work, well i could buy a bocce set. i was also looking for tank tops, but they never have those in Ms, and yet somehow i wound up buying more shirts too. i never know how that happens. and to be honest, it happens every time i go to target. but none of those are even where the unhealthy comes in. tho they're probably more unhealthy than the next thing, b/c they actually involve real money.

THE DOLLAR SPOT WAS 75% OFF!!! YES, THAT MEANS THAT EVERYTHING IN THE DOLLAR SPOT WAS JUST 25¢! oooooh, the things i purchased. to be fair, i am sending someone a care package this summer, and 25¢ items are great fillers. and at the BBQ the other day, jim didn't know what the little things you skewer into the ends of your corn on the cob were, so those were also 25 cents! that's amazing! so he and jen will be receiving a set of those in the mail in a couple of days. it will cost me more to send them than to buy them. i probably should have bought them 6 sets, instead of just 2, b/c that still would have only cost $1.50. but anyways. and if you need an apple corer or a potato masher, well just let me know b/c i bought a few of them. 25¢ PEOPLE! WHAT WAS I TO DO!??! JUST LEAVE THEM THERE?!?!?

oh, and there were fireworks-type things (those little champagne poppers and the pop-its that you throw on the ground) for just $1 and i thought those would also be good filler for the care package, but then i was worried that it might be unwise to send those thru the mail and this is why i keep saunders on retainer. i called and it turns out you can't send them thru the mail. when i asked how bad it would be to do so, he said "federal offense," so i guess those will not be making the box.

ok, that is all for the target trip. god, i love target. i love it sooooo much.

I'm glad you asked Saunders. Haven't you seen the posters at the post office telling you not to send certain things through the mail?

And I can't believe you bought all that. You are too funny. I actually wanted to buy the carrot peeler shaped like a carrot at the one spot this weekend, but Aaron wouldn't let me, and I missed the signs saying the stuff was 75% off, which would have chaged the result to that argument considerably!
