TARGET PRACTICE
I guess I don't really need any "Target Practice," but I have to say it's lots of fun. After helping in my kids' school today and picking up Rilyn from preschool I ran to Target. I was looking for a big purse/bag/tote for my trip to Utah to Women's Conference later this week. I realized I do not want to check any luggage and so I will use my husbands carry on luggage but I need a big ol' bag too, that I can stuff under the seat. Anyway, I figured Target would be the perfect place.
First I found a big black one that was on clearance for $17.48 (half price) and then I found a brown mock crock one for $29.99 (it has more of the clean, crisp look). I could not decide which one to get. I called my sister but she wasn't home. I should have had a girlfriend with me to help me decide but instead I had my 2 regular sidekicks, Rilyn and Tyler.
They didn't help with the decision any. Well, Rilyn liked the mock crock one better and I admit, I am a sucker for mock crock, I LOVE it. But I wanted something maybe not quite so formal looking. Ahhh -- who would have thought this would be such a big deal. I ended up deciding on neither of them for now and ALMOST walked out of the store empty handed!
But then I remembered a few things I needed and ka-ching! $29 later I was out of the store!! I'm still having the same problem I last posted about in regards to spending!! I keep going through my mind, do I need the bag? Part of me says find something that you already have and the other part of me says you don't have anything like that because you rarely travel! This is my first trip away in 8 years other than my Grandma's funeral in February.
So, I think I've decided to check Ross and see what they have in the purse/bag/tote department. They usually have cute stuff. But it's getting to Ross when I have a gazillion other things to do as well!

I need to find me one, too before this weekend ... as I'm tired of the purse I have now. Maybe I'll find one at Kohls or Ross? Good luck finding just what you are looking for!
I swear that is my inner talk every time I purchase something like that. Do I need it? Most of the time I talk myself out of it, but if it's too cute to pass up--it's VERY tempting.
How exciting you get to go to Women's Conference. Hey, maybe you will be able to meet up with Utah bloggers. How fun!
How funny is this! I just went thru my closet to figure out what bag I was going to take to Women's conference. I will be flying out Weds. When are you going?
Oh, you are going to have so much fun at women's conference. I can't wait for a time in my life when I can go. Maybe next year.
The thing about the purse is it sounds like you could really use it so I would go back and get the one you like. You will definitely use it more if you like it. Better than something that has the right price but after a few weeks you hate it and never use it again. I do that way too often.
I am so bad at Target, especially now that ours has an expanded grocery section (not quite a super target, but close). It is not a good thing. I understand your pain. :)
Michelle, I'm flying out Wednesday too! Where are you staying? I'm staying in the dorms.
I've been on the same track the past few days. I want the perfect skirt to wear to my birthday dinner this weekend. Something to make me look young and hip that jumps off the rack into my arms, fits perfectly and leaves enough to buy some matching jewelry. Is that too much to ask?
Good luck in your quest, hope you mae it to Ross.
You probably figured out that should say MAKE it to Ross.
I love Target too, maybe too much, my poor dd is addicted now too! lol! My dh used to work for them and we would get 10% off anything even clearance, boy do I miss that!
