Trying on some cat-eye sunglasses at T@rget (I pronounce it “Tar-jay” just to be obnoxious.). Every time I go to Tar-jay I remember that I dislike it, but somehow I got suckered into thinking it might be a good place to stock up on a couple of items for Hawaii: cheap sunglasses, a sunhat, maybe some shorts. Josh came with me and we spent a little time in the men’s section trying on shorts. Why do they make women’s shorts so stinkin’ short? What about a nice Bermuda length? I discovered in men’s sizing that a 32 waist is too large for me and 30 is a smidge too small, so I didn’t buy any shorts.

I did, however, buy this cute little reversible sports bra, because I’m always needing more sports bras. I love reversible clothing. Maybe I was attracted to the orange color because of the hat I was wearing that day (thanks for the hat, Kissy!).

We started Season 6 of “Mad Men” recently, and lo and behold, the first episode starts out with Don and Megan in Hawaii! Talk about perfect timing. I had just purchased my paisley bikini from “Victoria’s Secret” too, and when Megan’s adorable bikini popped up on the screen I howled “THAT’S THE PERFECT BIKINI!” Unghf, I love vintage swimwear. Modcloth: take some tips.

After yet another unsuccessful trip to Tar-jay we ambled over to Cost Plus, which is always a good time. I needed to pick up a couple of nice thank-you cards: one for my old boss, and one for my new boss, and Cost Plus has an excellent card selection. Not to mention browsing is always fun. This fuchsia armchair caught my eye.

Oh yeah. I’d do it. 300 bucks? Reasonable. And that cuh-luh!

Josh perused the fancy beer offerings. The “Superfuzz” label caught my eye. I bought some blood orange flavored Pellegrino for myself. Mmmm. They had an enormous Easter section which triggered my desire to eat a Cadbury egg, but when I inquired if they had any, they told me no. Easter without Cadbury eggs? Inconceivable.

We’ve been talking about getting a nice “grown up” (ie: matching) set of plates for a long time, but never seem to agree on a pattern. I thought these floral plates were nice. Who wants white? BORING.

I had some assistance at work today so I’m done a little earlier than usual. Thanks to Midol and the coffee I’m about to glorp down, taking the rogs for exercise should be manageable. Had a nice phone conversation with Brenna about Joshy’s upcoming birthday on the 21st: the old man is turning FORTY. 4-0. I’m having more difficulty processing it than he is.

“Do we need to watch the “Ab Fab” episode where Eddie turns 40 so that I feel better about it?” I said to him. I think we do! After all, it contains one of my favorite Ab Fab quotes:

Eddie: [on turning 40] This is something that is happening to me. This is something that I’ve got to deal with, alright. I’m sorry if that sounds selfish, but it’s me, me, me!

Never gets old.
