The other night I spilled a bit of water on my laptop keyboard and killed my left control key, which is extremely inconvenient since I am left-handed in using the control key. I'm glad there is a backup on the right, but still...very awkward.
So Sunday night my shower curtain fell and Monday I woke up to discover my thoughtful and considerate and EVIL kitties peed all over it and the towels that had been hanging on it! I was not as angry as I should have been because I had been looking an excuse for a new shower curtain and kinda wanted new towels too, BUT I was very angry that it happened on Monday because that is the only day I need to come home, shower, and go to bed....and do NOT have time to go buy a new shower curtain because I work all day and have 3 hours of dance class. So boooo on them. I spent the better part of Monday deciding on a gameplan, and was set on going to class and leaving after my class instead of staying for another hour, and at the last minute I decided I was too preoccupied and had to do it before class and had to go to Target (rather than Kmart or Sears or anywhere else) because it would be the prettiest, cheapest, and most convenient to get to dance afterwards (just hop on one bus and bam – there!) and I could grab dinner at Burger King and delight myself with a Cherry Coke...mmmm.
So I did...and they were all HIDEOUS or over $30!!! What the hell, Target? A year ago I was looking at them and they were all $9.99 and $19.99. AND AAAALLLL the liners were sold out! 4 other people were in the aisle sharing my plight, and we asked a Target associate who said, "Oh...well they were supposed to re-stock but I guess they didn't," and then shrugged and walked away! She was absolutely no help at all. Um, if multiple people are standing in an aisle needing something that you have but have not restocked, shouldn't you have someone go fetch the item from the Warehouse to meet your customers' needs?? I was so disgusted. Target has been so disappointing like that lately...such a lack of selection and that Target in particular is always cleaned out of what I need when I need it...like every time I would go to buy a mop they were completely out of mops. It's insane. That is my rant. I found one that will work but still it was $16. It's a vinyl shower curtain with little green leaves -- why is it $16?? But it served a dual purpose and I was able to shower after dance....except..... I get home to find that my other 2 towels that were in my closet had been secretly peed on sometime not recently!! So I had no towel! It was like nothing could go right. But it IS that time of year. So, in desperation, I just cut off the pee part of one towel and used the rest. What a hassle!
Today I went to Kmart after work for towels. Forget you, stupid Target! I spent much longer there than I had intended, growing more and more nauseated by the smell one of the last remaining Little Cesar's on earth that lives in the cover of the store. It's funny how Kmart can look so shiny and clean and it's still the same ol' ghetto Kmart. But it gets the job done. I had light pink towels in mind, but of course Martha Stewart held the monopoly on light pink towels and priced them at $11 each! Um...it's a TOWEL. I'm going to dry off my butt with this thing...it does not need to be $11. I found some others for $5 and splurged and got one of the $7 ones because I loved the color. I got rose, "Arctic Blue" (that's the $7 one, and green, of course, because I wouldn't be me if I didn't buy a green towel in my outing. After what felt like hours of pacing the aisles I finally found the smaller size and thinner towels for my hair that were a whopping $2. Sweet. They don't coordinate with the others, but, honestly, when have my towels ever coordinated by society's standards? They, like my sheets, match in that they don't match at all. *shrug* I just can't pick one color – they are all so pretty! So...the cheap little towels were sooo coarse and rough, but they're just for my hair and my hair does not mind. Note to self: the cheapest cheap towels at Kmart will be painful to touch in the store but after a wash and some fabric softener they are fantastically soft and fluffy!
I'd like to note that I bought 6 towels and a shower curtain liner at Kmart for LESS than the price of ONE ugly shower curtain at Target. thankyouverymuch *curtseys*
And now...pictures!!! Because it's me...like having a green towel.
New big towels: light green, rose, and arctic blue
New little towels: dark green, orchid, and light blue
New shower curtain: it's called "Whimsy Sage"
