| Meet Felipe! |
I'll tell you why. Apparently I'm afraid of brick walls. Yep that's right. Just plain old brick walls. You see, my bedroom window faces the side of my neighbor's brick house.
| My View |
So long story short, I decided to buy a curtain. I shopped around and found one on Target.com that was $35. I figure $35 is a reasonable sum to cure an irrational fear and decorate my new apartment in one fell swoop so I added it to my cart. Then I added a curtain rod to the cart so the total would be over $50 and I could get free shipping. Next I decided I would like a hold back so that I could pull the curtain back and enjoy my brick wall during the day. BUT the hold back totally didn't match the finial on the curtain rod so I couldn't let such complete NONSENSE slide, not in my bedroom. And after a lot of shopping around I determined that target has no matching tie backs and finials that are both available online, I decided to go to an actual Bed Bath and Beyond physical store at a later date.
BUT HO, a new dilemma had presented itself. If I didn't have the curtain rod in my cart, then my curtain wasn't eligible for free shipping. So I decided to buy a movie, 50/50, because I was totally going to buy it anyway and then I could get free shipping. And that, kids, is the story of how Target's free shipping on orders over $50 makes them lots of money.
But before you totally judge me for buying a curtain at 1am on Target.com instead of just going to Target the next day and buying the curtain, I would like to point out that the particular curtain I bought is not available in stores. SO THERE.

Welp then after all that the Target website decided to be an asshole and wouldn't let me pay vial PayPal. So I actually had to get all the way out of bed to get my credit card. Then Target decided to freak out at least 4 times so I had to keep re-entering the information. I know, my life is so hard I can't even stand it.
It was during this fateful moment in time that I decided I should really change my bank information to my new address so I can just click the "shipping address is the same as billing address" button instead of having to type in a whole new address. Because that would have save me like 90 whole seconds of typing. And I could have done a lot of things in those 90 seconds. I could have looked at like 9 pictures of cute cupcakes on Pinterest or something. So thanks bank address, you made me miss out on 9 gloriously cute cupcakes.
