Thanks a lot Target

So here I am wandering through Target with my trusty list of things we needed for the new condo, things like TP and a few hand towels and a dish drainer, etc. I didn't have a copy of the house keys yet, so I thought I would take my time and peruse the store before taking off to wait for Billy to let me into the house. Big Mistake. I ended up getting a few things that were not on the list and went over my budget for the trip by about 60 bucks! One of the culprits was a nice new book that was on sale that I had no idea was coming out. I was on my way to the check out stands and of course I walked right by a display of the new Nicholas Sparks book The Choice. If you were not aware I love his books and I buy them all in hardback when they come out, and they were on sale. So, I picked one up without much hesitation. Then, by the way, I got home and had to sit in my car (I think the temp was in the 80's) and waited for Billy for a half an hour because he got stuck in traffic on his way home.

I was already reading a different book (The Scarlet Thread by Francine Rivers) and so I couldn't get started on my new pick up until yesterday. I started it at work and then I finished it at work. I know what you are thinking and yes, I do have a kick back job where I can read all day. I really liked the book. It was slightly different than his other books and I liked that. I am going to start loaning it out right away (sorry Aimee Jo, I would love to loan it to you, but I know things are a little crazy for you).

Lesson learned: Don't go to Target if you have a lot of time to "peruse", especially if you don't want to end up spending a bit of extra money.
