Decorator Disabled

Let me fill you in on the excitement of my life.

I'm bored. So bored that I want to go back to school. I need socialization. I'm coming over to spend time with my parents and not be alone. That's how bored I am.

So the excitement of my life...which is just a cover-up for all the scary stuff going on right now: I bought more storage tubs at Target. I went the other day, got two...each for $4. I decided, while packing my apartment, that I needed more tubs for four dollars!!!!!! I went today, picked up two more, headed over to the tape area, got two things of large, Scotch packing tape...with a dispenser. I took it to the check-out, left it with the lady and told her I was going to go back to get a rug. That's right...I bought an area rug at Target. I think it's pretty.




A picture really doesn't do it justice. It's going to go in the 'living room.' This is all still 'in theory' considering I don't actually have keys or anything AND I'm quite possibly the worst decorator ever. It's just not one of my many talents...like singing in an English accent.

So I take my tubs and my tape to the register to wait for me while I go get the rug...because while I am strong, I am unable to carry many cumbersome things at once. I get back, and the cashier has so thoughtfully scanned my 3 items into a receipt already. So she just scans the recipt and it shows $15 and some change. I was like..."WOAH WOAH! Those tubs were supposed to be $4 each!" She was nice and didn't even look angry that I said 'WOAH' to her and told me that the tape was $10. I'm sorry...Scotch tape is $10? Ugh...whatever...I can't have untaped boxes, so okay. My rug was just slightly more expensive than the tape.

I've packed more stuff in my apartment and it's starting to look really sad and lonely. Not a good time for that right now, my friends. But I'll be moving in a few weeks, so that will be exciting.
