Super Target

I have found that when I go Super Target just to get one or two things I ALWAYS end up there for at least an hour and ALWAYS end up with more than two things. I just went to get a new planner for school because my current planner ends in August. So I went and I ended up spending $72.00 and I didn't even get a planner! Totally ridiculous! Another thing that I think is funny about Super Target is that for some reason I always end up having a very emotional trip when I go there... I think it is because there is so much there and it just hits every aspect of my life.
For example I was just there and these are some of the feelings I had:
  • I find it sad that there is now specific cards for support for those suffering from breast cancer. Don't get me wrong that is great but that means that the relevance of breast cancer is so great that there is a demand for such cards. This makes me sad.
  • I am not sure why but I get very emotional about my sister having children. (I don't know if it is just her or if it will be any of my siblings but Sarah is the only one with children so this is my only experience of it.) anytime I am looking at something for them or her while she is pregnant or anything like that I always cry. So I am sitting in the middle of Super Target looking at a card to give her for her baby shower present and I am like bawling crying at every card I read. I am just so thankful that she is my sister and her children are very lucky to have her as a mom, that i just get super emotional about it I guess.. but it always happens.
  • Then from the card section I went to the club wed section and was looking at some Wedding invitations that you can print yourself and I got super excited for my wedding day. I just cannot wait to be married and be a wife!
  • Then I went looking for a planner and they have like 2 and they are either the size of me or a pocket size one that you can fit a three letter word on each day. Totally annoyed!
  • And then I proceed to the check-out and the lady scans my stuff and tells me my total of $72.12. I swipe my debit card. And my mood goes to depressed because I just spent $72.00 when all I needed was a planner.

So in the Hour and a half that I was at Super Target. I felt sad, thankful, excited, annoyed, and depressed. This cannot be normal!
