Inspired

Oh to be home again!

Apart from missing Roger so much my insides hurt…it’s been pretty perfect.

I’ve spent the past week hanging out with friends and family, and of course frequenting my favorite restaurants and stores. It’s been truly inspirational…as proven by the following poem:

Ode to Target
The doors swing wide as I approach;
I can almost hear angels sing.
Like a magnet the shopping cart is drawn to me,
Though I only need one thing.
I pause at women’s fashions,
But I don’t know where to start.
From Mossimo to Mizrahi…
Oh, be still my heart!
The prices are so reasonable,
The clearance rack divine.
It’s just a shame the fitting room
Only allows 6 items at a time!
I cross the aisle to accessories
Where the sunglasses are so chic,
And the purses are so pretty –
I buy one for each day of the week!
Then I stroll by the men’s department,
And I feel a bit of shame.
Should I buy something for my husband,
Other than a video game?
Perhaps a pair of pajama pants
Or mabye a funny tee.
Nah, who am I kidding…
All he wants is Guitar Hero III!
I move on to the media section –
CD’s, DVD’s, and books.
I download most of my music now,
But I still want to take a look
Because there’s something about a real CD
That makes me feel so fine –
Especially when bought in this superstore
For just $10.99!
Then I begrudgingly ask the sales clerk
To open the Xbox case.
I choose a few games for Roger
Though to me it’s such a waste.
But nothing can spoil my shopping spree
And I’ve still so much more to do –
Linens, cookware, stationary…
And that’s just through aisle 22!
I make my way to home décor,
I might want towels or sheets.
I don’t know how I’ll pack it all,
But the prices you just can’t beat.
And speaking of my suitcase,
Perhaps I need one more.
I evaluate the contents of my shopping cart
And head to the back of the store.
I find the suitcase that I want
But it comes in a set of three!
I sigh in resignation,
For this can only mean one thing.
I go back up to the front of the store
To find another shopping cart.
I now have two more cases to fill
So I better make a start.
But I don’t think I’ll have a problem,
Finding more to buy today.
For here I’ll find all I’d ever want,
At Target – no – Targét!
