The Shopping Trip

It went something like this:

1st stop: $2 fabric store (this is an honest-to-goodness fabric store--no toys and candy like other "fabric stores")

***The response: "Oh no! Not here!"

2nd stop: Home Depot

***The response: "Again?!! Not again!" (I heart home improvement stores.)

3rd stop: DI (thrift store from Hades)

***The response: "Why? WHY HERE???!!!!!!"

At this point, I honestly believe that if my 3-year-old knew any profanity, I would have heard it. Ironically, if Big C had been with me, I believe his responses would have been nearly identical. (If I really want to torture Big C, I just add Winco to the mix on a Saturday)

Have you had any similar shopping trips?

I have forgotten what happened at Target....and so should you.

I would be desolate without my popcorn/large drink combo. I love the great clearances...and all the cute, cheap stuff. You need to let it go.....for the popcorn at least!

Admittedly, I will occasionally stop at Target, but only for my popcorn and slurpy fix. I'd go more frequently if they had a drivethru!

Your story made me think of when we were kids playing I-Spy in the car while Mom was in Fabricland! :)

I hated Fabricland. The only thing redeeming about that torture chamber was the multi-colored embroidery floss that Mom refused to buy.....I have to admit that I was a little sad when it went under. I wondered how I would be able to torture my children legally with it gone. Don't worry....I have found the Home Depot.
