Maybe it was subliminal… or primal… this need to go to Target late at night. But tonight when I tried to cram all my grocery and Target goodies into my small suitcase and into the one a friend was trying to get me to take I realized I had no alternative. So we packed into the car and headed to Target. At 9:30 at night.
It was too late to get my chi tea latte from the Starbucks, but not too late to make crazy last minute purchases. Along with the necessary new suitcase, I bought rain boots for Kaitlyn, rain boots for myself and lipstick for Kaitlyn. (She went with me earlier today to the Estee Lauder counter where she insisted on trying on red lipstick then begged to have some. I know I spoil her, but I draw the line at $20 lipstick)
At last, everything fit. But those boots might have been a little too much; I could barely zip shut the suitcase I stuffed them into. Good thing Kaitlyn wants to wear hers on the plane. (I know I should just give in and wear mine, but I want to be at least a little comfortable) I weighed my food suitcases before leaving for the hotel. They are crammed to the gills but under the 50 lb limit. There’s no scale at the hotel. Wish me luck.
