Because I got to go Tar-jay today!!!
Now that might not seem like a big deal to most people since you pretty much have it at your disposal, but since moving to Pennsylvania the closest ones we have are either 45 minutes or an hour away.
We could have headed down to Reading and went to their Target but Big Man wanted to take a more scenic route so we hopped in the car and headed north to Selinsgrove. Holy freakin' car ride. It's wasn't technically that far but going through countless small towns it felt like we were riding forever. It was fun because we got to see some beautiful PA countryside but when I saw that bulls eye my heart might have skipped a beat.
I felt like I was back in Florida for a second when I walked into the red doors and saw that little dog in the clearance section. With my $25 gift card in hand (thanks girly!) I browsed and walked down each and every aisle looking for the best gift to give myself. Big Man insisted that I looked in the clearance jean section because I'm always bitching that I have no jeans but all of those were either too tight, too loose, too tall or too small. I told him I didn't want to waste my gift card on a pair of jeans that didn't even look good so he said he would buy my jeans and I could use my gift card on whatever I wanted. That gave me the go so I started picking out cute jeans to try on, too bad for me tho they all still looked like shit till I put on these
What might you ask are these, jeans of course you would think....umm no they're
JEGGINGS!!!
For how much shit I talked on them before, I am now eating my words because these are the best things ever!!! When I was taking them into the fitting room Big Man said that the jeggings were a no go but once I tried them on (tucking the tag in so he couldn't read it) and showed them off to him, he loved them. Not only to they look jeans and are super duper comfy but they also make my ass look pretty sweet if I do say so myself. I def. give the jeggings two thumbs up!!!
After picking up the jeggings, we continued on through the store where Big Man picked up a t-shirt that says "Proud to be Awesome" (someone like to tap into their Barney Stintson sometimes) as well as some Jamaican chicken. But what I spent my gift card on was the
Wilton 6 pc. Bakeware Set
If remember last year when we had the fire, all my kitchen and baking supplies saw their demise. I seriously didn't even have a whisk to whisk anything with...let alone any baking or cookie sheets, so I'm ecstatic to be restarting my collection again.
Besides hitting up Tarjay we also made a pit stop at Michael's where I might have exclaimed "IT SMELLS LIKE MICHAELS IN HERE!!" and Big Man gave me a look like 'Well duh!'
Now if I can find a Homegoods, my retail life will be complete up here!! : )

Girl...we have a target close by, but it is a TREAT for me to get out and go there with two little ones now!! ;o) I hear ya...I LOVE Target!!!
I love love love target! I have one like across the street from me and don't know what I would do without it.
Love Target and HomeGoods! Great finds!!
I would die if I had to commute to get to a target!!!!
I love that you got to go to Target and Michael's!!!
LOL, I just flashbacked to us walking into Target to get our poster supplies, while Britt and Justine made a run for the clothing section.
you are totally making me want to try on jeggings now... hmmm
also, pretty sure i got that same bakeware set for my wedding... (i wouldn't know for sure because its all packed away in boxes in the garage waiting for a new house to be used in...)
I don't know what's up with Target up there! When I move I'll have to go at least 40 minutes to get to the closest Target! It's the worst. I'm glad you go to go though! Here there are THREE Targets within 10 minutes of my house.
Those jeggings are actually kinda cute :-)
I go to Target like three times a week so I don't know HOW you are surviving without! Looking forward to hearing about your baking adventures!
I'm not sure where in PA you are living, but as for Homegoods - I know I've seen one on my way to Sur La Table in Marlton, NJ - and it looks like a pretty big one too.
Mmm I love Tarjay!
1. How do you exist 45 minutes away from our Mecca?
2. JEGGINGS? I can't believe you. You probably rock them though. I don't think I could.
3. We don't have a HomeGoods here, either. At least not that I've found. And it breaks my poor little heart:( Regular TJ Maxx doesn't hold a candle once you've experienced HomeGoods.
I am demanding a picture of you in the jeggings!!!
And I loooooove the smell of Michael's too. :)
