I had a good writing day today. By good I mean I went over the word count goal I have set for myself–although I had raised it for today so I could reward myself tomorrow by finishing up another proposal that I really like and that is almost done. Strange reward, I know. (G)
Maybe a better reward is that now I get to go upstairs and read some more of a Fistful of Charms, so I can think, “Wow, she’s a good writer.” Big sigh.
Oh, and I survived back to school shopping at Target. Although I would really like to know how these places (like Target, Walmart, Shopko) manage to run out of the basics two weeks before school starts EVERY YEAR!! Anyone have an answer for that? What an extra 1,000 kids moved into the district? The fact that they ran out of glue sticks three weeks out last year didn’t clue their buyers into thinking “Hey, maybe we should buy more this year?” What, what? I really want to know. Maybe giant glue-stick eating trolls rampaged their warehouses snapping up big erasers and steno pads for late night fun and games. You think?

not bitter, really
Lori I don’t get it either! My kids went back a week ago (YEAH).
Every year I can never find manilla paper or that white art paper. This year I found both but guess what? NO WIDE-RULED notebook paper…hello!!!! I had to hit the office supply.
In their defense my local Target said teachers came in and bought a ton of stuff but both Targets?
