lost hours

How is that I can spend an hour in Target and only buy like 5 things. I was on a quest for three very specific things. For some reason those three things were nearly impossible to find.
-a file card box. Never found it.
-a basket to put magazines in. Found it but it's still not exactly what I wanted.
-a hook to put on the closet door to hold things. Found it after walking across Target a thousand times.
I am usually a very successful shopper, so why am I such a failure at Target? Ug.

But it's Friday. New classes start on Monday. I have two of my three books. I have a relaxing weekend ahead of me. My living room is getting clean. The weather is gorgeous. Life is pretty good.

tonight

I'm trying really hard to find a balance. And right now that balance means life is very very busy. But full and joyful. I may be exhausted at the end of the day, but it is worth it. Since I have been off work....
....watched Gilmore Girls
... made flash cards to study for Intro to School Counseling final
... did 2 loads of laundry
... folded and put away about 1000 loads of laundry
... made a lasagna
... did the dishes
... emailed a good friend whom I miss
... took a shower
... straightened my hair
... checked facebook a thousand times even though I hate it
And I feel satisfied. I am ready to sit down on the couch, watch some Boston Legal and relax before I go to sleep.
