It's no secret in my family that TARGET is my favorite store. Don't even  mention the name Walmart  in my house without a snide comment or noise. Ughhh!  My kids won't even ask me to take them there. 
Now as for my TARGETI have to go there once a week (need it or not), though most of the time we really do need something.  Maybe I keep forgetting things on purpose?  It is my shopping oasis...

Well here it is, the count down is over and school has begun.  I wonder how he's feeling?  If the nerves have settled down?  Did he get his locker open?  All those first day jitters I hope are relieved by now.

What is your current favorite song:
 Absolutely loving  THE TERMS - a band we seen while in NYC!  Got their CD and that's all I play in my CD player since we got back in JUNE!!

What song/CD makes you:

happy - If I had a million dollars by BNL

remember/reminisce - Friends in low places by Garth Brooks. ...

We are counting down the days until school starts again.  We went through the Jr High again today so that Zach could make sure his locker opened and make a few changes to his schedule.  It brought back memories of my own childhood.  Then we headed over to Applebee's for lunch.  We shared a lot of laughs, especially when Chelsea kept talking about the Jeff Foxworthy jokes from Blue Collar Comedy.

It''s back to school time so we are trying to fit in the last few summer days of fun that we can. Yesterday we went to Hinckley Park and walked around, went on the swings and laughed while making shadow friends. They both had me laughing so hard!

Well here we are going into the 3rd season of Lost and I'm just starting to watch season 1 and I'm already hooked. Luckily I just searched Google to find out that season 2 will be released September 5th so I can try and get caught up before season 3 begins.
