So, yesterday I had the entire day off…wahoo!! It was so nice to have a full day and nothing to do š
What did I do with my day, you’re just dying to know, right? Well, I took the kidlets on what I like to call a Target Hop. It’s basically where I find another Target out there in the great blue yonder and make a special trip just for fun-sies. Ahhh, a brand new (to me) Target to walk around and clearance shop…pure bliss! Really, I do this with the intention of buying a few necessities so it’s not a wasted trip in case I don’t find anything fun. I just like to get out of MY Target and browse around a different one sometimes…you know, clearance items are different and every now and then I’ll find better prices on certain items (the nerve of them!)
Yesterday, I went in search of another one of these:
Yeah, boring to say the least. It’s a Timex Marathon watch and the 3rd one I’ve bought in about a three-year time span. Yup, numero tres…I’m loyal consumer, aren’t I?
Ok, so why am I telling you about this watch? Mainly cause I want to vent about buying this watch three times in three years!!! Let’s see, where to start. Ok, to back track a bit, every time I’m pregnant I take a water aerobics class. If you’ve never taken one you must!! You get a great work-out but don’t have that annoying gravity issue to bother with so pregnant bellies all around can rejoice. I always love taking the classes and keep saying how much more fun they would be if I wasn’t pregnant when I took the class cause you can get a really high-level intensity work-out, seriously, not lying here. Unfortunately, once the babe comes I am too wrapped up in feedings, etc. so I don’t get back to it until I’m preggers again, rats!
Ok, so anyways, every time I take a water aerobics class I lose this dang watch when I take it off before I get in the pool. Every.Single.Time. It’s totally annoying…so right there with Noah and Penelope’s pregnancies go two watches. Now this time, I thought to myself, I am just going to wear this sucker in the water since it’s all waterproof and such and that is what I did. AND that brings us to number three…the thing totally got water logged…UGH! What a pain.
But I keep buying this little beauty cause I love it’s slim design and black color, plus it’s digital so it’s quick to read and it has that funky indiglo light-up feature so I can check the time in the middle of the night when I’m at my most blind (can I just say I have the worst eyesight EVER!) a super handy feature when your breast-feeding a newbie baby!! Alright, so that’s my rant, really…I guess I am just not meant to own this watch…but I really want to, I love it!
In other news, while I was browsing around good ‘ol Target, I bought some more Liberty of London goods. Man, I just love their stuff, so pretty! I like the housewares best, maybe more so since the clothes are worthless to me…growing belly and all…so sad š
I really want these:
Pretty little teapot
and gorgeous little matching cups
Oh, what beauties they are, aren’t they!?! I just love teapots. Unfortunately, I can’t find these anywhere…totally sold out, boo hoo! I’m on the hunt though and one day I’ll Target Hop and find them, I just know it!! What about you? Seen anything cute lately? Want to vent with me? I’d love to hear what’s up with you!
I love that stuff too! I didn’t know there were clothes though. Too bad your are so far away, I saw that teapot at my local Target!
I love the Target-hopping idea! I feel your pain about the watches, but it’s because every watch I ever buy seems to just quit on me. I don’t know if it’s because I buy cheap watches, or if I’m one of those people who apparently can’t wear analog watches because they kill them somehow! I’m afraid to buy a nice one and find out the latter is true! LOL Good luck with this one – I hope you have it forever! š
I’m just jealous you get to shop at Target! It is definitely one of my favorite place and there isn’t one with 300 miles of my house!
Lovely to come blog hopping over to your lovrly blog I am a fully paid up member of the BHD (Blog Hopping Disease) Club and yours is certainly worth putting up with the symptoms for
Kindest Regards Linda
I guess I’m lucky! My husband found me the coffee cup earlier this week for my birthday. My Target is in Oregon…not sure that would help you much! š Good luck!
The teapot is stunning. I love teapots.
Blessings,
Nancy
I didn’t see your cups at Target yesterday, but what I did see was little girl easter dresses made with fabric that matches exactly!
