Back-to-school supplies

On Thursday I went to Target to pick up a few things for an impromptu Moab trip.

I was walking past the greeting card section when something caught my eye.

Just the next aisle over back-to-school supplies beckoned me from the shelves.

Backpacks, markers, pencil boxes, lunch pails, book covers, notebooks as far as the aisle extended.

A mixture of giddiness and impulsiveness crept over me.

Back-to-school means Fall.

I stood between the camping supplies and the school supplies toying with the idea of walking out of Target with a bag full of new school supplies, instead of a bag for sleeping.

Luckily, a force more powerful than the draw of scented markers reminded me that buying school supplies would mean a very cold camping trip.

Needless to say, I'll be back August 31st for the Little Mermaid lunch pail.

Oh yeah...

Yesterday I remembered that with the change of winter to spring,

I am graced by the presence of Allergies. Or as I cleverly refer to him Al.

How did I forget Al?

Yesterday Al reared his ugly head in the form of sneezing, coughing, and itchy eyes.

He's trying to make me forget how much I love spring.

Luckily, in a few weeks I hope Al will go back to his pollen infested home

and I will go back to forgetting that Al is any part of my life.

Until next year that is.
