A Watch and Teapot

So, yesterday I had the entire day off...wahoo!! It was so nice to have a full day and nothing to do :)

What did I do with my day, you're just dying to know, right? Well, I took the kidlets on what I like to call a Target Hop. It's basically where I find another Target out there in the great blue yonder and make a special trip just for fun-sies. Ahhh, a brand new (to me) Target to walk around and clearance shop...pure bliss! Really, I do this with the intention of buying a few necessities so it's not a wasted trip in case I don't find anything fun. I just like to get out of MY Target and browse around a different one sometimes...you know, clearance items are different and every now and then I'll find better prices on certain items (the nerve of them!)

Yesterday, I went in search of another one of these:

Yeah, boring to say the least. It's a Timex Marathon watch and the 3rd one I've bought in about a three-year time span. Yup, numero tres...I'm loyal consumer, aren't I?

Ok, so why am I telling you about this watch? Mainly cause I want to vent about buying this watch three times in three years!!! Let's see, where to start. Ok, to back track a bit, every time I'm pregnant I take a water aerobics class. If you've never taken one you must!! You get a great work-out but don't have that annoying gravity issue to bother with so pregnant bellies all around can rejoice. I always love taking the classes and keep saying how much more fun they would be if I wasn't pregnant when I took the class cause you can get a really high-level intensity work-out, seriously, not lying here. Unfortunately, once the babe comes I am too wrapped up in feedings, etc. so I don't get back to it until I'm preggers again, rats!

Ok, so anyways, every time I take a water aerobics class I lose this dang watch when I take it off before I get in the pool. Every.Single.Time. It's totally annoying...so right there with Noah and Penelope's pregnancies go two watches. Now this time, I thought to myself, I am just going to wear this sucker in the water since it's all waterproof and such and that is what I did. AND that brings us to number three...the thing totally got water logged...UGH! What a pain.

But I keep buying this little beauty cause I love it's slim design and black color, plus it's digital so it's quick to read and it has that funky indiglo light-up feature so I can check the time in the middle of the night when I'm at my most blind (can I just say I have the worst eyesight EVER!) a super handy feature when your breast-feeding a newbie baby!! Alright, so that's my rant, really...I guess I am just not meant to own this watch...but I really want to, I love it!

In other news, while I was browsing around good 'ol Target, I bought some more Liberty of London goods. Man, I just love their stuff, so pretty! I like the housewares best, maybe more so since the clothes are worthless to me...growing belly and all...so sad :(

I really want these:
Pretty little teapot
and gorgeous little matching cups

Oh, what beauties they are, aren't they!?! I just love teapots. Unfortunately, I can't find these anywhere...totally sold out, boo hoo! I'm on the hunt though and one day I'll Target Hop and find them, I just know it!! What about you? Seen anything cute lately? Want to vent with me? I'd love to hear what's up with you!

I love the Target-hopping idea! I feel your pain about the watches, but it's because every watch I ever buy seems to just quit on me. I don't know if it's because I buy cheap watches, or if I'm one of those people who apparently can't wear analog watches because they kill them somehow! I'm afraid to buy a nice one and find out the latter is true! LOL Good luck with this one - I hope you have it forever! :)

I'm just jealous you get to shop at Target! It is definitely one of my favorite place and there isn't one with 300 miles of my house!

I guess I'm lucky! My husband found me the coffee cup earlier this week for my birthday. My Target is in Oregon...not sure that would help you much! :) Good luck!

I didn't see your cups at Target yesterday, but what I did see was little girl easter dresses made with fabric that matches exactly!
