This is how rock stars do it.

in TTC after 35

So this morning, MH and I were making plans on how to spend the day. We still have to save $1100 in the next 7 weeks to pay off the rest of the garage roof, so we can't spend too much money.

Now, before I was pretending to be an adult (so, like, what-- back when I was only 30, 33), I would have made myself feel better by having bought a game console, a new kitchen gadget, some fantastically expensive but gorgeous article of clothing, or gone on a road trip to visit one of my far-off friends. 

Now, however, this is how a TRUE rock star does retail therapy at age 37:

MH and I are going to go to Target (45 mins away) and I'm going to buy some Fruit Of the Loom cotton underwear, baby! Oh yeah. Don't be jealous and hatin' on me because I know how to spend the Benjamins, Ladies! Don't be choking on your Crystal while I'm tossing back some ginger ale and laying down the moolah on this swanky new swag...

 I feel so sexy and hot right now, I don't know how y'all can stand to be on the same message board with me right now...

    Target has a coupon for $3 off mossimo right now. Mossimo tanks are $6. You could go really crazy and get a tank for $3.

    Enjoy your retail therapy!  My hubby would be thrilled if I decided to go out and buy new undies.  However, his idea of underwear varies greatly from my definition of what I would actually wear.

    I can't find this coupon anywhere. I want a new tank, too! 

    We are living it up, ladies, shopping at this Tar-jay Boutique, as my H calls it.

    I wish we had a Target. 

    When I visit my girls (who live in NC and Chicago) we pronounce it "Tarjay" to make it sound posh.

    Okay, the Target in Topsham was LAME!! The only freaking empty rack was the size and style and brand of underwear I wanted. Seriously?!? I thought I had it pretty together but I must still be hormonal because it made me start to cry.

    So I walked out of Target with nothing-- I'll have to wait until this Saturday when I can go to the one in South Portland to get my underwear.

    I DID, however, manage to get a nice scrub top for work. Nice and springy-summery...

    No kidding! At least you didn't walk out of there empty-handed.

    Oh I didn't find the scrubs at Target-- which I also pronounce as "Tarzjay" because it's swanky and I'm a rock star (Cool)-- I don't even know if they sell them there, but it would be AWESOME if they did!

    But since everything in Maine is so far away, it is always better to drive somewhere that has a few possible options-- so my favourite scrub shop is a couple doors down from this particular Target...
