Brave Girl

I pass this Salvation Army on my way to the dentist and I am always tempted to stop, But with 3 kids in the car, never tempted enough. I was seriously scared to go by myself (Dan would NOT go with me) but I decided it's just like buying tampons the first time. You hate the thought of doing it, you're embarrassed to do it and then you just get over yourself and do it. So I went.

It is on the WRONG side town girls. I mean the turn your ring to the inside of your finger wrong side of town. While I was not talking to myself, I was the only one who seemed to speak English. And who showered that week.

Let me be honest. If my mother knew I was here she would be having a hissy fit. And that was just at the Dollar Store next door! They did have a lovely plastic rock with a topless frog perched on top with the words "MAGINE" carved into it. Priceless, but it could've been mine for $1!!

I would've taken a picture but I didn't want to open my purse and let anyone see I had about $5 in my Target Wallet and a heavily overplanned planner. The would be thieves would go crazy.

There wasn't even a Salvation Army there after all that! I risked my life to find that out!
So I high tailed it down the road to this fun place.

If it was sold and monogrammed incorrectly by Pottery Barn employees, it is sold here for still too high of a price mark up.

I found a suitcase AND a trick or treat pumpkin with Graham's name on them in perfect condition!! I was ELATED, I never see anything with his name. But how could I go home to one little boy Greg with nothing? So I left everything behind. Sad.

I did see a very amusing Halloween basket liner with the name "The F*** This Family" embroidered on it. I had to giggle. I wonder if one employee after name upon name just broke down. I'm going to guess that he got fired that day though!!
