i just escaped the black hole that is target

[fizzgig]

$150 later...thank gods for the gift card my dad gave me for christmas.

i hadn't bought work clothes for myself for almost two years, so i figured i should get some. and i actually managed to buy clothes for myself without the normal breakdown.

i also had a very nice lunch with my best friend.

how's everyone's saturday going?

[VenusRising]

1. That store is of the devils.

I try to stay away from Target as much as possible.

Glad you got some new clothes. I hate clothes shopping, so I understand what you're saying about breakdown.

What did you have for lunch?


We took our cat to the vet this morning. I did our taxes while hubby cleaned the kitchen. I put together my new Swiffer Wet Jet, which is to die for!! Hubby played bass and made YouTube videos while I took a nap.

Hope the rest of your weekend is wonderful!

:hi:

[fizzgig]

3. we had vietnamese

i had a spring roll bowl - a couple of spring rolls cut up over rice noodles with chicken, peanuts, carrots and bean sprouts.

i am so jealous of your wetjet, i should really get one of those

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

9. so you had vietnamese food

i was worried that you had gone cannibal on us after all you are hangin' with old gregg now!

:rofl:

[fizzgig]

12. no, no cannibalism

actually, cannibalism really, really freaks him out

:rofl:

[VenusRising]

11. I love my new Swiffer Wet Jet.

I would make a commercial for them for free. Ok, well, maybe a lifetime supply of wet jet solution and cleaning pads.

But, yes, get a Swiffer Wet Jet. I never mopped. My husband did that for me I hated it so much. I will use the Swiffer. It's espcially fun when you squirt thr solution on the floor and whatever it is cleans right up with no real effort. Love that!!

Look!! A Target coupon for $5 off the Wet Jet!!

14. I just brought two nice storage cabinets from Target.

They hold a lot of stuff, and look very nice.

I like Target.

[VenusRising]

16. I love storage cabinets.

It's a place to shove your crap and then close the doors.

:rofl:

[texanwitch]

18. I have been cleaning up and getting rid of things.

I need two more and all my things will be where I can find them.

I do like having doors to close, keeps out the dust.

I have all my camera gear in one place now, yes.

[VenusRising]

19. Spring cleaning kind of thing?

I need to do that.

Yay for organization and camera gear!!

:bounce:

[texanwitch]

24. I just got tired of all the junk I had.

It took awhile but everything is coming together.

I cut a extra shelf for the cabinets so everything fits.

The computer stuff is together in one place.

I hate looking for things.


It is nice going to the cabinets and finding what I want.

[VenusRising]

Good for you.

Anything to make life easier these days, huh?

:)

[texanwitch]

39. I have reached the de-junk stage of life.

I still have some things to sell on Ebay but I keep that in storage boxes.

[VenusRising]

43. We just need a house.

:rofl:

We've moved from a 2BR apt to a 1BR apt, and our stuff is over running us. I don't want to get rid of a lot though because we hope to move to a house sometime in the next couple of years.

[LostinVA]

23. Target and IKEA

You go in for contact solution or a cheap lamp, and come out $200 poorer.

:scared:

[fizzgig]

26. we don't have an ikea here

maybe i should feel lucky

:scared:

[LostinVA]

30. You're very, very lucky

"OOOOO! Three pots for $10! A set of juice glasses for $4! OOOOOO... what a nice print -- just $25, including the frame!"

:scared:

[texanwitch]

37. My housemates can spent $200 without thinking about it.

That is why I won't go in the store.

[texanwitch]

32. My housemates spend a lot of money there.

I am afraid to go to IKEA.

I do drive the truck there put I don't go in.

I just bring the stuff home and put it together.

[texanwitch]

28. There is a big IKEA store by my house,

My housemates love to go there, buy things and have me put the things together.

[LostinVA]

31. Hehhehehehehehhe

[texanwitch]

34. They claim they can't do it,

It is a good thing I like doing it.

We are a IKEA and Target house.

[LostinVA]

36. Why do you think I'm getting married?

I can't put the stuff together, but Haruka can.

[texanwitch]

38. They tell me " You are so good at it "

I do make them help, but it is fun putting things together.

Congrats on getting married.

[LostinVA]

44. I suck at reading IKEA directions

But, I am very good at holding things and tightening allen wrench screws.
