Confessions of a Shopaholic's daughter

Ok, if my mother saw this she would kill me. I want to start by saying she is not a shopaholic. However, today one might think she was.


7:56 a.m.- "Where the heck is my phone"- my first thought this morning

My second thought- "Why the hell am I up so early?!?!?"

But it's too late now, I'm up. So I read a little 'Julie and Julia' and waited for my mom to wake up. I knew she wanted to go to the store, but had I known it would be nearly 10 hours before I ate my first meal- I would have at least pretended to fall back asleep.

I can't lie, I did have some fun.

We are re-decorating the spare room, which happens to be the room I "stay in" while home.

I must confess- I love to shop as well. Money doesn't grow on trees though (wow I am already turning into my mother). when I do have money, watch out, I can get pretty scary.

Target was stop one. Got a Futon, a table thing, a chair, floor pillows, a side table among other random things for the upcoming school year.
Stop off home, put it all together.
Back on out.

Mind you my mother just bought a 2001 Sebring Convertible and it was well over 100 degrees today...and yes, we had the top down.

Big Lots next- didn't buy too much there. Mostly stuff for my sister.

Then back to target for a rug and a fan.

The room looks nice though. I will get to enjoy it three out of the next four weeks.

The one annoying thing I will now rant about- a remote-less television.

It is in my room too. I am lazy, plain and simple. I do not want to get up from the comfy futon every half hour to find something to watch. Or God forbid I want to skim the channels during a commercial to see what else is on. It is a huge pain the butt. Sure I could just go buy a universal remote and then vuala....but nooooooo, I don't have the brains to remember it when I was at target twice today. Yes, I guess that is my fault, so I shouldn't be complaining...but guess what, I don't care. I will complain.

Ok, I'm done.

Complaining that is.

I still have more to talk about. Like the fact that I had Baja Fresh for dinner.

when I lived in Gilbert I discovered this wonderful restaurant, thanks to Lindsey. I enjoyed it for a while, then it closed down. I didn't bother check where there were anymore...but I happened to come across one today (go figure) by Target. It was amazing.

I guess other than that there's not much more to discuss.

One last confession- I got mad at myself this morning for not having a recurring dream with George Clooney in it...isn't that pathetic? what is wrong with me? feel free to share any comments or concerns on that front.

Goodnight and Goodluck (pun included- George Clooney movie)

and...
Bon Appetit!

I would settle for one dream with George Clooney. That man is hot, no two ways about it.

So are you gonna take the futon and stuff to your apartment or is that already furnished or do y'all have to furnish it with other stuff?

And when are you getting back to ASU?

Oh, as far as what is wrong with you: you twitch at the word "HAM", you monologue to yourself, your dancing can be scary at times, and if you believe to Kristen, then you're the, we'll say, "lady of questionable morals" amoung us. Unfortunately I have those first three problems as well, so I don't have much room to talk... :) Well, I have the last problem too, just don't tell Kristen. :P

Love you, sis! Glad your blog is back! :D

Oh, and my verification word is "sceralub." It sounds like a job you wouldn't want at an old-folks home.
