Target.com

I remember being in Norfolk thinking I wasn’t going to be able to survive in Japan because they didn’t have Olive Garden or Target, since then I now see that everything is going to be alright because of online shopping. While it may be true that you have to wait fifteen to twenty days to receive your Yankee Pumpkin Pie sentenced candle or your Xxhiliartion red footie pajamas it’s alright. It makes you plan ahead for an event and learn to budget your money.

Plus I don’t think I would even get out of my rack had it not been for knowing that I get to see Randy for a bowl of frosted flakes in the morning AND thinking that “Today is so the day. Yeah, yesterday and the last four maybe fourteen days before today were not, but today just might be the day that I receive my Christmas Party & New Years Eve dress from forever21.com or my 5/$25 Christmas themed underwear from AmericanEagle.com.” You just have to keep your hopes up.

So there is so much going on here, it’s out of control. Everyone is at each others throats today, as they always are this time of underway. The last five days are sometimes the hardest. Everyone is so anxious to pull in, and they are so irritated with the same people for the last three months that they often snap…a lot.

Deep Breaths, five days and a wake-up and this nightmare will be over. When I say nightmare I mean minus the great shoe shopping in Korea, and the wonderful “vacation” on the most gorgeous beaches I have ever seen in my life. No nightmare pertains to the Petty Officers telling the pregnant girl in my division that she is “useless,” and moving her to night where everyone can forget about her. Another definition for this “nightmare” thing called underway is the constant cleaning every morning from 730-830. Or the endless watches and getting woken up in the middle of the night to get screamed at. It’s a love hate thing this Navy is. More hate than love most of the time. :/

WelP I have to go. The proxy is back up, thus ending my shopping spree on Target.com and the small patch or normalcy I had obtained for an hour. And by the way shopping at an actual target or Target.com doesn’t get any easier. You go on needing paper clips and shampoo you come out with a hundred dollars worth of shi-nanagans you didn’t know you needed. I went in for some thanksgiving smelling candles and I came out with a pair of cute rainboots, adult footie p.j’s, the Nightmare before Christmas Movie soundtrack, knee socks, a small wastebasket for my bathroom and there was this Vegetable steamer that was so cute, but I know I wouldn’t use it. If only they had PB&J automatic makers. That would be convenient and efficient!
