I was going to add “Review” to the title – my movie review for the new Star Trek movie. However, I can sum it up in one word. And that word is AWESOME. Also? HOT. Also, also? I TOTALLY WANT TO MAKE OUT WITH SPOCK AND/OR BONES. Which might be the weirdest sentence I type all week…
Last Recap, I made the bold statement that I was going to only go to Target once for the entire week. I would make a list for my single trip – and that list would be legion, containing every single Targety thing I could need for the week. Therefore, I wouldn’t have to make multiple trips for that proverbial ‘one last thing.’
Well, I blew that idea out of the water, when moments later I realized I needed a cami to wear under a too-low-cut T-shirt for an audition. And I had 10 minutes to buy one at the nearest store (aka, Target). And I did not have time to do my full Target trip for the week within those 10 minutes. So, yeah. I made two trips to Target this week. But at least I’m down from last week, right? That ought to count for something.

And that, my friends, ain’t half bad. However, this new week has gotten off to a roaring, uber-spendy start – I took my goddaughter Boo-Boo out for the day, and we ended up buying a $23 Cheese-Head Top Hat. Honestly, you’ll have to see it to believe it…
Final Note – Yes, this post is short, and yes, I need to further address my website’s name change, and yes again, I need to post Eye Candy. Stop back this evening for more frugally fun!

While YOU seem to be cutting back on trips to Target, *I* am getting worse. I swear, it's a horrible disease. It's really bad when the Target employees recognize you every time you come in, and practically act as if you're old friends. Well, I just keep forgetting stuff, or think of other things I need.
Glad SOMEONE'S scaling back Targety doodads. You're a stronger person than I am. :::sigh::: Looking forward to some Monday eye candy later!
My saving grace is that there is no Target here… or maybe that's just my big disgrace, because I end up at Walmart instead (which is all we've got folks). Sad, sad, sad. I'll take an extra trip for Target-y goodness any day.
