Life and Times

Family Weekend just happened, but let's back up a bit.  Oldest Peep is now a COLLEGE Peep, hence the reason for our family's participation in the big-time event.  This was HUGE because not only was I unable to join in on Move-In Week last month, but I haven't even SEEN our College Chica since she trekked all of her stuff 6 hours from home!  So we dragged her brother with us to the college, then he decidedly took off to the driving range with his Grandpa who happens to live in the area.  Not a problem for Hubs and I who actually took part in Family Weekend by shopping for dorm stuff at Target and eating all the free food we could find on campus.  Granted, we did all join back up to attend mass at the beautiful on-campus chapel, but the weekend sure was better enjoyed without teenagery complaints from the bro.

Meanwhile, this little voice in the back of my head keeps murmuring, "You don't even LOOK old enough to be the parent of a college student, woman!"  Keep talking - I'm good with that.

Feeling Bullseye-ish

The Peeps and I absolutely LOVE shopping at Target, which is a good thing because we're there so often that we might just as well move into that place. However, this morning as we made our usual trek to that favorite store of ours we were greeted by an extremely odd scene: parking lot barricaded off with red & khaki clad Target employees, police officers and fire fighters standing around, a sight that would cause most people to turn around and head back home. But not us. We're steadfast Target shoppers, so we turned the other cheek and made our way into the store to do our shopping. *pfft*

So we're shopping like it's just a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, but then as we found our way into the snack aisle there was this loud-choppy-thumping noise, and I'm all, "Dude. A helicopter is landing on the roof." Eyes rolled. Mom so exaggerates, right? But then who's rolling eyes after finding this in the parking lot:


I'm just asking the question, Peeps.
(No worries - it's Target's kick-off for National Night Out.)
