Dilemmas & Crafting
I hate shopping unless if it is at a craft store.
I took the kiddos to Target today and got a new coffee maker. This morning I broke the carafe to our old maker. I was conflicted over my purchase. Do I spend an extra $4 for a new carafe, or do I spend less for an entire new coffee maker? My cheapness won and I saved the $4 and got the new coffee maker, but I felt guilt over the waste.
Then when I got to the car, I unloaded our junk, put Mimi in her car seat, and lifted Moe up out of the cart only to discover Moe was sitting on a shirt I had planned on buying. So, we shoplifted. I took the kids home and unloaded everything.
Later, when Kevin returned, I went back to Target and paid for the shirt. The clerk said no one ever has done that, and she couldn't believe I was so honest. Would you go back? Lots and lots of people have told me they wouldn't....And some (I won't call anyone out) have said accidental shoplifting doesn't count!! That seems like a lot of hooey to me. It is a slippery moral slope to get on.
Here is something everyone should go get:
They are in the dollar section at Target. They have several different dinosaurs and even a snake. They come with paint and a brush. They are a lot of fun. And the clean up was easy...But I must warn you: The green paint is HARD to clean up. I don't know why the green is difficult, but it is.
Okay...enough rambling...
UPDATE: I was the victim of Target's marketing ploy...The wooden toy pictured above is mixed in with dollar items, but they are actually $2.50 apiece. Still not a bad deal....
