We all know my shopping mecca Tar...you know that place...and I have been having a rough time. Well yesterday they soo redemmed themselves.
I took Jeanie bo beanie (aka Mom) shopping there. We stocked up on all kinds of reckless goodies. J decided to get matching necklaces for her, me and my sister. Aww cute, i know. We left there and proceeded to do a MILLION other errands. We also had lunch and that's a story in itself as they were redoing their bathroom and there were two stalls - on which had a shower curtain (about 12 inches across, huh?) to "block" it and the other had a door off it's hinges that wouldn't shut. As I said another story for another time as it involves intricate detail of me falling off a toilet at a restaurant). We arrived home 6 hours later and I napped then. (note: I had gotten up at 2am to go to the airport to see my beloved nephew off to Japan. Another story: his flight was the ONLY one cancelled on the whole board. and while waiting we were trapped sitting next to a foreign family that all had styrafoam containers of food -two each- that smelled like curried liverwurst WTF? CJ got his flight situated and my family then left to go smoke leaving me guarding his Flack jacket and other military goodies that would look normal if you were him -in the Airforce- but not so normal for a plump 40 year old crazed with "lack of sleep" looking woman. Along with the foreigners and their containers I am sure the Buffalo Airport went on code orange). ANYWAY I was home in deep nap mode (dreaming of dancing with POP!* circa 1985 and Hugh Grant was just about to ...when I heard my name being yelled by Mom. Jean was frantic - the necklaces were missing. We searched and searched again. I went through the car - nothing. She went in her room and there was a dramtic scene of extreme pouting proportions so I left and drove back to target. I LOOKED THROUGH CARTS IN THE PARKING LOT (oh my humiliation) - and finally went to customer service and explained my story and the girl headed in the back and presto came out WITH THE BAG. There they were. I saw the heavens open up and heard angels singing. I would have bet a thousanda bucks I would never see those things again.
So long story short, Target and I are back together.


*really Music and Lyrics was cute.
