is not green really - it's 75% off. We went to Target and hit the bedding/linens department pretty hard. Rugs, comforters, all the stuff stocked for college dorm rooms marked down. We each got a rolling file cabinet marked from 40 to 10 bucks - and the fact that it is green is a plus for us.
Of course we bought so much stuff we could not go anywhere else because the trunk was full. That's a funny problem to have.
I wonder what Jehovah had Adam and Eve sleeping on before they figured out they were naked. I can't see us going back to that. I wonder if it is just cultural conditioning. But I love textiles and sewing and clothing and colors. I like having houses and dressing the bed. Both the girls inherited that from me too. Yeah, you should have seen us tonight. We hardly left a thing for anyone else.
We hit the sock rack too. Nothing else was on mark down. But that's our philosophy. Don't pay retail and don't buy when you need something. Buy when the store needs to get rid of something.
And of course, we went to Sonic while we were over there. I am sitting here with a lovely cup of crushed ice and diet vanilla coke beside me. We also had a Steak and Shake shake. Carly got the new caramel apple and it tasted crisp just like an apple if you can believe it. I had banana, Kim chocolate. I have never been a chocolate girl much unless it is donuts. I don't care about ice cream either. Let me tell you, if they had Krispy Kreme over there, I would have to drive through.
Especially if the light was on.
So I wonder sometimes what the angels think looking down here at us, if they like us with clothes and living inside structures or if they have sorrow over that. Is that what being sinless and perfect means, not covering anything up? What plan did Jehovah have for Eve to have maxi pads? I guess perfect childbirth would mean never an umbilical cord around a baby neck, but were we just going to carry babies around on our hips and nurse them in the open and how was that cord going to be cut?
I just don't know. I guess I'll find out in the new scrolls, and this is just speculation that probably keeps me from doing serious research on Bible topics. But I do this kind of thinking when I have no access to the WT library or reading a book. Mostly I think these things while I'm driving and the girls ignore me with their earbuds/iPods plugged in.
So you can tell I drove home from Target today, and I thought and thought all kinds of child birthing things because Jennifer is going slow getting Jordyn here, but she is going. And I am glad she is having her inside and has maxi pads for after, and blankets for the baby and good nursing bras.
There's probably two angels laughing at me right now because I don't know that perfect boobs don't need bras to fight gravity. And they're right. I have no experience with perfect anything. But I am pretty happy nonetheless with my $12 rug that someone else paid $48 for a few months ago.
I get my happy where I can.
