Things that I went into Target to buy:
1. Sunglasses (I looked for a pair at Sunglass Hut at the mall and the one pair that was acceptable looking – in other words, I didn’t look like a bug-eyed Roswell-dwelling alien when I put them on – was $269. Anyplace with “Hut” in its name should not be charging prices like that.)
2. Gift for a friend of Rebecca’s

Things that I exited Target with:
1. Sunglasses – two pairs. Total cost = less than 10% of the cost of one pair from the Hut.
2. Makeup case, about a dozen types of makeup, teddy bear – gifts for Rebecca’s friend
3. Nightgown
4. Robe
5. Jeans
6. Pillows – two
7. Chenille throws – two

Things I looked at, but did not buy:
1. Slippers
2. Clock
3. Placemats
4. Sweater
5. Pajamas

Total time spent in Target: 25 minutes

Total amount spent at Target: Far more than I would have spent at Sunglass Hut.

Fortune at Chinese restaurant: People are won over by your persuasive nature. Heh.

Movies: The Purple Rose of Cairo. Interesting concept marred by the wan, pathetic dishrag of a character Mia Farrow plays.
