The First Day of the Rest of Our Lives

You never know when it might happen. You just wake up one morning, you have breakfast, you get dressed, you plan to go about your day. But, you know today is special, different somehow, you can feel it in the air. You drive into town, it's better today, the air smells fresh, a south wind has blown in during the night sending all the dust and VB boxes toward Adelaide, the sun is shining, your coffee is a double mocha with no calories. Your hair is perfect, your new Capri's take ten pounds off and your husband has the day off from work so you don't even have any kids tagging along. You put on make-up, today is a big day after all, and meet your friends. Then, at exactly 8:00 am NT time (8:15 for everyone else) it happens...Your very first Target opens.



<--this is the the line to get in.







This is some crazy lady who wouldn't get out of the
picture.-->





We're still waiting on the Cinnabon and the Starbucks, but Target, well Target is a great start. Way to go Alice!

I am SO very happy for you! Woo hoo! Does it contain US stuffs in there?

Nope,nothing like an American Target, they just use the name, but it's not KMart! And it really is a lovely store.

Oh Tambur, so good to hear from you! I'm so sorry, though, because I was so impressed by the white tile and red target and rendered near catatonic by the fresh paint and bright lights that I didn't buy a thing! I know, I know, but one must pace oneself-- I don't want the new to wear off too fast. Tara and Viv had no such reaction though and had to nearly hire a truck to haul away their prizes. But I'll find you something real nice, don't you worry,now, do you want faux fur or sparkles??
