Another excursion for the oldies. Off to the Walmart! I made a sarcastic comment about the venture and quickly got the "Nip it!" sign from the husband.
I wrenched my shoulder and my elbow hauling and unloading the trunk.
We have this garage cooler. It's not a regular refrigerator; it's an actual cooler like you would find in a convenience store. (We know people.) This frig is meant for drinks and I reloaded the stash. The oldies put half sandwiches and other leftovers in there. It makes Big Daddy crazy.
He paces in the morning. In my mind, he's checking the weather. Can I play golf today? He prowls around the garage. Then, he looks in the garage cooler. After the Walmart trip, he noticed a new addition.
"Why do we have eight pounds of butter?"
He was not exaggerating.

The Lure of Target
I love going to Target. I actually fantasize about it. I'm trying to exercise some self-control because I always get into trouble. (I have never walked into a Target without spending $100 minimum. Some trips have rivaled the national debt of small countries.) I am not a shopper but there's something about Target -- I want it all! Even the cat toys look appealing and I don't own a cat.
Yippee Yah Hoo! Today, I went to Target.
The first thing that hits you at my local Target is the dollar section. A lot of it is goofy stuff for kids but occasionally they put some good stuff in there. Forget Vegas, I hit the jackpot at Target. Readers of all strengths and multiple colors for $1. What? One dollar? I bought three pairs.
Some people enjoy buying designer shoes at $300 a pop. I bought two cute pairs of flats for $12.99 each.
I bought a pair of jeans for $22.99. I own jillions of jeans but I tried them on, liked them and made the executive decision to own them.
The rest of my list was boring: paper products, dog food, etc. I can be mesmerized in these sections too.
In the pet section, I did not escape with just food. A couple of treats, a new toy, and Oh, look at this dog cushion on sale for $12.99. Maybe I'll stick that in my office for Gabby. Yep, I bought it.
The oldies love to go to Walmart. I hate Walmart. I have had so many bad experiences with clerks, merchandise, and the clientele that I refuse to go there.
Even with my diversions, I managed to escape Target with a bill of $150. I get to back in a month and a half!
