I have my list and my costco card ready to go as we walk into the giant warehouse full of wonderful things. With me is my husband, my mom and my cousin Alex. My husband insisted we needed three shopping carts because he knows his wife. I reassure him that my list has only five things and one cart would suffice. On the list was toilet paper, paper towels, dryer sheets, bottled water and paper plates. As we begin the long walk down the isles of wonder, I immediately become distracted by all the amazing things. Velour hangers! Adult beverages! Jean jackets! Gouda cheese! Doggie treats! We needed them all. Before I knew it the cart was full and we hadn't even checked anything off the list besides dryer sheets. My husband sends Alex to get a second cart. Cart 2 is filled instantly. So yes. We needed the third cart. Luckily, however, cart three was for all the things that my mom needed as well. Needless to say. He was right. We needed three carts. Now off to eat my gouda.
I chose intentions as my "One little Word" this year. I was chatting about work/life with one of my best friends who has been in my life for over 17 years a few months ago and she gave me probably the best advice I needed in that exact moment, which was to set my intention each day before arriving at work. This happened to be around the same time that my colleagues were sharing their "OLW's" and I thought I would try it out as well. I thought about my conversation with my friend and it hit me...intentions... I wasn't sure if it was the right kind of word but it felt right to me. It is a word that could fit in every aspect of my life. I am constantly thinking about my intentions and they have quickly become the fuel of my day to day. Intentions. Setting the intention. Treating people with good intentions. Doing everything with the best intention no matter the situation. What's your "OLW"?
So accurate. This is how I feel about Target- the list is only suggestions and sometimes I get home and realize I forgot everything on it!
ReplyDeleteThis is why I go to Costco alone!
ReplyDeleteOh, Costco! This is why my husband insists on going without me. Hilarious line: "Before I knew it the cart was full and we hadn't even checked anything off the list besides dryer sheets." Been there, done that.
ReplyDeleteCostco just opened a store about an hour away from me in the fall and I am looking forward to actually checking the warehouse out. I have heard good things about them.
ReplyDeletelol Happens every time! Good thing you had enough people to push all the carts. Great Slice!
ReplyDeleteThis would be me at Target too.
