Bergdorf Blonde...I Think NOT.

-


I do not belong in the hallowed halls of Bergdorf or Saks.The shopping gene has missed me, somehow.
Roaming the isles of a department store is just not joyous.
Searching the racks for a clever find?
Lost upon me.
I'm no Carrie Bradshaw.
More like a Bella Swan, only not so tortured and brooding.
.....and I would have chosen Jacob.
Yes, Patricia.
I know you are cringing at this moment and wondering how we can possibly be friends.


Target. Costco.
This is where you will find me.
I can get laundry detergent, a flashlight, coffee-Monster-wine(in that order) AND a cute hoodie.
It's like a religious experience.


This kind of "shopping" makes me giddy. I feel victorious gathering necessities like milk and eggs.
I feel extra triumphant when I can throw in socks, a garden hose and king crab legs.

Maybe it's laziness.
Maybe it's impatience.
I love the Warehouse store.
I love Targét.
I love to eat where they have a picture menu.
....but that's another blog post.

Right there with you!!! I remember going to Nordstrom when it was at Oakridge...I always felt under dressed. Ladies with hair all done up, makeup packed on, bling hanging every where and 3'' heels (that was high then!!). I just wanted a tank top!!! Sears now has that location...yeah..cloths and power tools. Just like Target!

ME TOO!!! I havent been to a mall in years. I fear them, loath them... and dont quite understand them. Why would I systematically choose to maneuver from store to store to get everything I need when it is all in one place? Target. Costco... TJ MAxx and yes Joan, Sears. The only problem is that my daughter doesnt share my love of these stores... 'Justice' is her speed.. and for that- I eShop. :)

I Hit Snooze, Again

-
Do people hibernate? I'm convinced we do. Or I've just decided this is the reason for my wanting to stay under the covers and become a professional snoozer. The fact that I haven't seen the sun in 8 days and it hasn't been balmier than 45º has driven my inner bear-ness. I live in a cloud. Really. This town is officially a cloud. And not a pretty, billowy cumulonimbus cloud. More like a big, heavy, grey, damp blanket of a cloud. Blah. Wake me when it's spring....

Getting Ma'am ed

-
At the grocery store, the local coffee spot, by the Principal(who is clearly older than myself)...that one little ridiculously spelled word- ma'am . I know it's supposed to have an aura of respect, but it reeks of...well...chronological order! I can feel it coming, too. "GRANDE SKINNY VANILLA LATTE!!" shouted by some pierced barista. I look around, puzzled because I am the only one waiting.  "Guess that's me...thanks."  wait for it...wait for it ... "Have a nice day, ma'am"  And there it is. Thanks. Getting old sucks.

Got Thin Mints?

-
It's Girls Scout cookie season, and how is it that I don't know a single crack dealer Girl Scout?!   I must have Thin Mints. I must have Thin Mints. I MUST HAVE THIN MINTS! I'd rather buy from someone I know....I guess I'll have to hit up the dealers in front of the grocery store. This is somewhat unnerving, considering I don't have any of their beeper numbers. But a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. When I get them home, I will eat an entire stack, carefully, one at a time. The anticipation is almost unbearable..... I am an addict. Got Thin Mints?
