"Those great knick-knacks at Target that you just can't say no to"

I figured I should probably blog again before I head off on more summer adventures. Have I mentioned I love being a teacher?

So, let's talk about Target. I'm sure Kayla would be able to tell you much more about Target than I would, but let's talk about it anyways. Ever since Sioux Falls added the new eastside Target, the amount of money in my bank account has been steadily decreasing. Weird.

Let's talk about one section of Target in particular. If you head over to the music section you'll see a little shelf called "Artists on the Verge." I think this is my new favorite section. I love scouring the cds for music that I know or have heard of. I like to check out the bands that few people have heard of because it makes me feel awesome. It's like name-dropping. "Oh, you haven't heard of that band? That's because you're not as awesome as me." I am such a hipster, and that's not a good thing.
And there's this other thing that attracts me to that shelf. Album art. My most recent purchase has about the coolest album cover ever. I love it. Bright colors and rainbows and crazy craft supplies!!! I mean, how could this not make you happy? So horrifyingly pretty! And the music isn't bad either.


And then there's the Passion Pit cd that I love. More bright colors, of course. So geometrical. So fun. How could you not be drawn to this cover?
So, yes, Target is amazing.
But when you leave the music section, you might possibly enter the hair products section, and let me warn you, as amazing as the Goody Spin Pin looks, it doesn't work very well. So when you go to Target to spend all your money on things you didn't plan on buying, you can thank me for saving you six dollars on that purchase.

Also, the first person who can tell me who said the quote in my title gets a dollar.

Currently Listening to: He is We
It's a little more "cupcakey" than I usually like, but still good, and you probably haven't heard of them because you're not as much of a hipster as I am.

I Even Got Up Early to Watch!

So, the World Cup is going on right now. You may have heard of it. A bunch of guys from all over the world get together on a field and kick a ball around. Yes, soccer. Or, as the rest of the world knows it, football.

I have found myself enjoying watching many of the games. Weird, I know. This coming from the girl who avoids ESPN like the plague.

I could explain to you the many reasons I like watching World Cup - the great soccer skills that are exhibited, the overdramatic falls and fake injuries, the intense loyalty of the fans, and on and on.
I'd rather show you why I like watching World Cup.



I think pictures speak louder than words for this one. You're welcome.
