Because that’s the way we roll…

It’s a Wednesday night. Me and Steff. Our first girls night just us since…well if you ask us…foreva! Way overdue. We make our way to Edwardsville. After a stop at Michaels for me and Best Buy for her, we head on over to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. We pretty much had the place to ourselves. Nice! One giant Blue Moon (with orange of course), one bloody Mary, some southwest dippers and two delicious salads later we were leaving for Target. Once to Target we began the search for a list of items I needed for a co-worker’s shower. We shared a cart, first mistake. Wait…I should mention our first mistake was going into the depths of the store with NO cart and NO registry list to begin with. Once we got that figured out…we spent the next 2 hours rolling through Target’s every aisle. From clothes to PJ’s to shoes to gardening. At one point we had cart full of kitchen gadgets, one of which was a seriously dangerous meat tenderizer, some sandals, a bunch of home goods and table cloths, cups and plates for a shower. I will NEVER forget the moment that came next. We had just finished loading a huge self-standing, easel mirror into the cart and returned the tenderizer to it’s proper home on the kitchen gadgets shelf (Why? Because I had a theme darnit…and I could get nothing to come together…so big gift, more money spent…less themey…I was disappointed…but Target registries suck…ok off my soapbox!). Anyway…the unforgettable moment. Admist the chaos…Steff sat down in the middle of house-wares to try on the sandals (which by the way came from the front of the store and not the shoe aisle...totally weird location for shoes anyway!) and looked at me re-cramming the mirror around trying to get it to fit into the cart so we could see to steer. She laughed "We’re a hot mess Jess!" As I looked at us and our cart and the lady skirting by us (who I didn't even know existed until Steff mentioned it a few days later), I couldn’t help but agree. We had crap everywhere. We laughed for about 30 seconds at our mess and craziness. Then without missing a beat…she says…"So what do you think of these?" Flashing me her newly sandaled food. "With jeans I think they're good. You won't see this weird strap b/c that looks horrible." She stood up to model, sat back down to change her shoes back and said "What’s next on the list?" And off we went to wrap up our shopping.
Maybe it’s because we attempted to multi-task after a drink or two? Maybe it’s because we didn't remember to grab separate carts? Maybe it’s because though we claim to be very organized women, we truthfully are not? But the why really doesn’t matter to me…because I honestly think, it’s just because that’s the way we roll. Cart full of stuff, chatting like we’re the only two people in the store about every topic under the sun, reading from a registry of gift items and cursing the Target gift registry system. It’s the only way Steff and I do anything! Full on, always together, and we have more fun than anyone should have. Love you girl.
