Attention Target shoppers

I love Target. I'd live there if I could. Just like that one movie where Natalie Portman lived in a Wal-mart - except I'd be living there because I heart it so much, not because I had nowhere else to go. I probably go to Target two or three times a week and each time I'm very excited to be there. Tonight I went there to return a storage bin I purchased the other day (it was too big).
Since I was there I just HAD to take a look around. I decided to scope out the live Christmas trees in the garden center. Can I just say OH MY GOD! As soon as I stepped in the garden center it was like Christmas heaven. It smelled all piney and Christmas tree-y. If you couldn't tell by now, I love love love Christmas. I walked around and looked at the trees. I didn't buy one though. I need to go back when I am prepared to bring a tree home (read: 4runner and a male companion to carry the tree). I did purchase some Christmas decor. Here's what I got:

Stocking holders


Some gold ornaments to put in a cylinder vase.


I also got some garland like this, but with lights.

Lions and tigers and . . . cockaroaches? oh my!

I posted last month about my excitement to go to the East Coast. One reason I was so excited was because I would be able to go back to Serendipity 3 and have some yummy yummy frozen hot chocolate. About 2 weeks after I get home from enjoying some yummy hot chocolate I saw this article online. Oh the horror! I'm sure everything will be cleaned up and that most places do have roaches and mice and rats of some kind. Just not this many roaches and such. Oh well. I hope they clean themselves up real fast and that they never get this dirty again (fingers crossed).

California Wild fires

It's been awhile since the wild fires, but I still wanted to post about it. The fires began Sunday night. Early Monday morning I left for my trip to the East Coast. I left before we realized how bad the fires were. Homes just 3 miles from my house were evacuated. Being so far away from your home may be in danger is so scary. You are helpless to do anything. It was so scary, it dampned our trip. All I wanted to do was stay in the hotel and watch CNN. Looking back at it though, the fires weren't that close to my house. Although they were evacuating, it was just a precaution. I was told by friends and family that the smoke was really really bad. They said it was like it was raining ashes.

I was lucky enough to be spared from the fires. Many families lost their homes and businesses. Please help them out and donate if you can.
