I was going to title this something cute and clever like, "Cool things I would like to have" or "Things I need to make my life complete" but, I'm nothing if not abrupt and to the point.
Things That I Want:
A $500 Target gift card. Heck, let's just make it $1,000. Every time I go there, I seem to find more and more I can't live without. Although I've stopped buying diapers there so the number of times I frequent my local establishment have dwindled drastically. Around the same time, Target posted a first quarter loss. Coincidence?
A jewelry organizer. Last week, I cleaned out my closet and my dresser. I got rid of an embarrassing amount of crap. Seriously. It's embarrassing how much junk was lurking. 2/3 of it went in the garbage. The other 1/3 is going to goodwill today. All of that to say, now I need to organize my jewelry. I think I have decided to get this (from Target...no surprise). Does anyone know if I can get one of these anywhere else? I just don't really want to pay for shipping.
These shoes. For Kendall. When Kendall was born, someone gave her a lovely and adorable navy blue dress accented with sunflowers. I have been waiting and salivating for her to be able to wear it. I would post a picture but it's in her room and she's asleep. I was looking for some shoes to match it and I saw those on ebay. OMG! COULDYOUDIE?! INORITE?! Seriously, those are the cutest stinkin sandals. And they are perfect for the dress! The problem? The price. I just don't think I can justify spending that much money on shoes for one dress. Yes, we are shoe snobs at our house. Yes, our kids wear nike and robeez ( I say as I run around in my five dollar flip flops). But those went with lots of things! I'm just so....torn. And they aren't at gap anymore so I can't wait until a friends and family weekend or have someone that works there get them for me. I'm stuck with the ebay $27.00 price. Thoughts? Someone talk me down.
PS It has recently come to my attention that my blog is suffering on account of Facebook. Will try to remedy that.....

Do you have a Container Store nearby? They're $9.99 there (jewelry organizer). But be forewarned - the simple ACT of going into a Container Store has been known to trigger irrational organization projects spiraling out of control...not that it's EVER happened to me or anything...I'm just saying...

Cute shoes!! Hope you get them! As for Target, I keep doing their stupid online surveys so I "have a chance to win a ($500 or $1000) gift card". Sigh...hope springs eternal.
I know what you mean about their quarterly loss thing - Englands economy NOSEDIVED when we moved back to the states! Wonder why???
Get the shoes...I am only telling you this because I do the same thing(can't justify the purchase for one outfit) so I will live vicariously through you by encouraging you to be a bad example for me!
You do not even need me to post this cause you KNOW what I am going to say about the shoes, but since you asked.....Get them already! I mean they DO match perfectly. Every little girl needs that perfectly matched shoe. Ok, well maybe not, but they are just so darn cute! And, how often does a shoe look like it was manufactured just to match said dress?
Sorry I am a bad influence.
Must have the shoes. Do it.
That is, of course, unless you'll find a cuter (slightly more well-worn) pair in Canton.
That's all I'm saying.
And if someone sends you a $1,000 gift card it was me and you're welcome! Will you buy me new lamps, desk chair, and bedspread? Thanks!
I vote to get the shoes. And not just because I have a good chance of getting them handed down to me eventually.
I SO want a target gift card... heck I'd even take 20.00!! ha!
OK (thanks, Cheri)I have been to the Container Store website and am convince that this is what I now need for MY jewelry. I would assume that this little hanging bag would also travel with you and keep you from having to decide which jewelry to take or leave home on a trip. Can anyone say "Mother's Day"???
I could go for a Target gcard too. I need some new spring clothes.
Also, get the shoes. It's ok to do things like this every once in awhile. I do stuff like this all the time. OK, not all the time, maybe like once.
Buy the shoes, those are versatile sandals and I'm POSITIVE you'll find something else for her to wear them with.
