target

today at target i made the mistake of walking down the reduced toy aisle and the faces of all the sad toys who didn't get a home for christmas almost made me cry :( i almost lost it completely when i saw a sweet little elephant who, when you petted him on his back, got all happy - it took me all my strength not to buy him :( i finally found another little elephant and put them together, hoping some big-hearted elephant-loving person would happen upon them huddled together and buy them both. urgh... why do i get so upset about leftover unbought toys after christmas? and don't get me started about the animal shelter... i can't even think about it :(

while at target i got a bee in my bonnet to clean the shower and bought the most toxic super poisonous shower cleaner to get the job done right. when i got home, the stupid cashier was so busy telling me my hair color was on sale so i couldn't use a coupon (in what world????) that he forgot to give me the damned shower cleaner that he had triple bagged so as not to spill in the car and vaporize me (eye roll). this is yet another reason why target totally sucks - it's like the millionth time this has happened (ok 2nd...) and the procedure to claim the goods is like torture...
  • go back into the store - even though it's not the one by your house, that would be easy :|
  • wait in the returns line - the week after christmas :|
  • talk to clueless teenager with big nausea-inducing hoops in stretched earlobes (i bet they smell too...)
  • wait while he uses his walkie-talkie to page security guard to guest services
  • try to avoid falling flakes of dandruff as they confer and scratch their heads and look befuddled
  • wait while security guard rides away on his segway back to his office where he will actually take the time to search the video footage and attempt to see if the cashier put the shower cleaner in the cart :|
  • all for a bottle of shower cleaner :|
  • which didn't make it into my cart afterall even though i look like a total crook :)

what else i did today:
bought edible silver glitter (for cookies)
and a cookie cutter of a black labrador
and a mold to make little chocolate jets
and mickey mouse sprinkles in red/white/black
and pink/green/yellow

i soooo wanted this little candy mold but wondered how weird eating newborn babies would be.... i just don't think i could bite a little baby in half :|

  1. Is it bad that the baby mold made me laugh? Yikes, I do think it would be strange to be eating a newborn baby.

  2. agreed. the whole biting a baby in half would be kind of demented. I would feel so bad, and probably not even be able to eat the other half.
