Teaholic not quite anonymous

I needed to go to Target today and also get out of the house. Maddy was in quite a mood this morning and because it's rainy and icky outside, the park wasn't an option. And she needed diapers anyway, so off to Target we went.

I made a small list and of course veered off it. I did get the diapers, the Parents Animal Hospital play set (more about that later) and shaving cream for Matt. I also bought Maddy a fuzzy boa which I tied into a necklace that she just LOVED. And for $2 it was a steal for as much as she loves it. I also bought her another large ball. (Grandma J, the other one showed up! It was in the common area. Don't ask me where it went to begin with!) I bought a board book as well which was really cute and only a $1.

But my BIGGEST steal was a pair of black velvet sling back peakaboo toe heels. I've been wanting these since Christmas!!! When Matt and I were planning on going to his work party I bought a cute pair of pumps that I like a lot. After the party a few days later I noticed these at Target online and I was KICKING MYSELF for not buying these instead. To my credit, they weren't actually at the store. But they are so 1930's (my era that I totally missed out on). So cute! I would have paid full price $30. Today, I found them for $6.30!!!!!! YES! I can't believe it. It was a 6.5 so I tried them on. Normally I'm a 7 or a 7.5 but with dress shoes I normally run smaller and Man, they were cute! And fit, too. It made my day!

The only thing that annoys me is that they charged me for the shoes TWICE. I get so busy at the checkout it's hard for me to watch the scanner. Normally I'm trying to keep Maddy preoccupied and I just didn't realize it until I got home. So I will need to make a habit of checking BEFORE I leave the store from here on in! So Matt went back with Maddy tonight to get the rebate. I thought that was really sweet of him to let me get a couple of minutes to myself tonight. So here I sit instead and it is really nice.

About the pet hospital. It has keys that fit into certain locks. Maddy understand the concept of a key and loves to use my keys. So I thought she would love this and she does. However, she's not quite agile enough to figure out which key goes where and how to turn it just right. So she is persistent but is frustrated. Not the best combination. So I may save it for a few weeks from now and give it a try again.
