Truth. When it comes to shopping, I must be stopped. I spent Saturday in Marshall's and Target. I really think I'm making up for lost time. Most of what I've purchased since we've been here has come from Marshall's/Homegoods.
It used to be that I could only go to Homegoods when I was visiting the lower 48. I made those trips count (just like the ones to Trader Joe's). I recall a weekend in Los Angeles...buying plates at Marshalls/Homegoods and stuffing them into my suitcase, wrapped in clean clothes. I got a collander too, and I remember getting into an argument with Scott because he "knew this would happen" and why didn't I "bring the big red suitcase!" instead of the more appropriate (smaller) black one that was better suited for a weekend trip. Don't worry. We managed to get it all back to Alaska.
This week, I bought curtains.
They're a teal-ish color.
Last week, I bought this picture frame that highlights some of my favorite pictures from the last few years.
Clockwise: End of deployment #1 (2/24/10), battalion ball (5/10), one of our last pictures together in Alaska (3/13), end of deployment #2 (11/2/13).
Truth. I miss my Target. That's right. MY Target. The one in Wasilla that I knew like the back of my hand. I would say that I could find a new Target to call my own...but 45 minutes is too far away for such nonsense.
Truth. I wore jeans again.
Sweater: Loft // Tank: Kohl's // Jeans: JCP // Sandals: Old Navy
(I am planning on wear these sandals to death..in case you were wondering. Gotta get my $19 worth.)
Truth. I really liked this article that Sar shared earlier this week.
4. When people ask you to hang out, you weigh the advantages of a night out with friends with the desire to spend some time alone. Your decision as to whether to accept the invitation depends on which option you’d prefer at that moment. This isn’t that hard to understand.
Truth. Skirtember starts next week! Get your dresses and skirts ready! I bought a $15 adorable polka dot dress at Ross' the other day...on my way out of Marshall's.
