I COULD MAKE IT RAIN POPCORNERS! I’M CHIP RICH MO’FO’!

photo 4 (25)Let me back up a bit … I have a new obsession. Groupon Goods. You know Groupon right? It’s one of those deal sites where you purchase coupons or deals for a restaurant or gym (or whatever). One of those things I would purchase and then ignore and never use. I’m horrible at using gift cards or Groupons or Living Social deals or anything like that. My dad reminded me I have a gift card my mother and him gave me last Christmas for El Cholo. I LOVE

El Cholo and yet that gift card is still sitting in my wallet. I’m going next week … for sure … maybe … I did recently use a Subway gift card but that is because I was hungry, I had it in my wallet and was driving by a Subway. All the stars aligned! Somehow last month, I don’t remember the details, I magically stumbled upon Groupon Goods. It’s so exciting. It’s the most wonderful thing to hit my iPhone since Happier!

Groupon Goods is where you can purchase actual physical items at a discount. It’s like a mixture between SkyMall and Target but at the tip of my fingers. There are so many amazing deals and at the same time so many things I didn’t know I even needed. It’s just amazing and I demand you download the Groupon app (or go to their website) and check it out right now. I like the app because I

Thanks Internet!

Thanks Internet!

can lie in bed and scroll through amazing item after amazing item and if one strikes my fancy I hit “buy” and it’s all mine! ALL MINE!!!!!!!!! There is some stress involved since most items are limited quantity and deals only last a few days. Therefore, it is mandatory you check it nightly, like me, to make sure you don’t miss something fabulous!

Last month there was a deal for a large number of individual sized PopCorners (25, 50 … I don’t remember … it was a wonderfully large number)

For the men.

For the men.

for a great price. What a perfect thing to bring to my sisters for the fourth of July, I thought. BUY! Then I forgot all about them. I got home from my sisters on the 6th. Do you know what was on my doorstep on the 7th? A GIANT BOX OF POPCORNERS! Perhaps my timing was off but it’s still the most wonderful thing ever to be delivered to my house. It’s a giant box and is taking up my entire counter. I have Popcorners for days! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Making it rain Popchips!

They just don’t sell food on Groupon Goods. Need a dog bed? They have a few options right now. There is an amazing array of vibrators … so many options. You want to feed your yoga pants

obsession? No problem! Towels, teeth whiteners, batteries,

I want this.  I don't know why.

I want this. I don’t know why.

dresses, perfume, cameras, and so much more! Seriously … you gotta go check this out. 120 hair ties? What? I don’t have long hair but I feel like my zillions of PopCorner bags could use a friend or two or 120! How do you pass up a deal like that? BUY!

Target is What I Expect Heaven to be Like

Target

It is rare for me to randomly come across humanity being good — where I’m involved. When I do I feel the need to share.

Today I left work early, due to chest pains (probably caused mostly by stress), to go pick up my meds at Target. There is a long story about that. Target rocks and I love getting my prescriptions there but, in general, their service is lame. They only have one supplier vs. the normal pharmacy which has 3. That means, more than once, I’ve had to “pick another prescription” or wait a very long time. Normally that isn’t a HUGE deal but when it comes to life changing high blood pressure it can be an issue. Still I refuse to move to another pharmacy as it is Target and it’s the only store on the planet I go to just to “have fun”. So after a weekend of not being on a high enough dosage my meds finally came in.

As any BRILLIANT person would do after picking up her extremely potent blood pressure medicine I took the elevator upstairs (yup — my Target is 2 stories. Boo ya! SEE WHY I LOVE IT?) to get a snack. Nothin’ says intelligent like my need to take my blood pressure meds with a caffeinated soda and super salty popcorn. It’s a combo at the snack bar. How do you expect me to pass that up? I’ll just call it dinner to make it alright in my head. OF COURSE, since I was in a semi-hurry, there was only one person working the snack counter. Normally this would send me into a fit of furry rarely seen since the American Express incident of 2001 (don’t deny my card — seriously — unless you want to taste blood), but I was trying to bring down my blood pressure so instead I just stood there silently taping my foot with my arms crossed. Then I realized (which also rarely happens as the person closes to me usually gets the full wrath of my hate) it wasn’t this poor woman’s fault that some moron called in sick and her idiotic managers have no actual skill to see there is an issue that requires them to take action. To this woman’s credit I have NEVER seen the kind of glove on and offing, microwaving, cash registering, skills in action before. It was almost magic. And the group of hungry wolves crowding around her responded. I’ve seen people get physical in this line before. Not today. Today we were all under her charm as she carefully and skillfully multi tasked. Then it was my turn … and she was starting to waver. It’s like seeing a marathon runner stumble near the finish line. WE HAD TO HELP HER. WE HAD TO WALK OUT THERE AND PICK HER UP AND DRAG HER TO THE END. SHE COULDN’T GIVE UP. WE WEREN’T GOING TO LET HER. So after I ordered I brought the guy who ordered ahead of me his pretzel that was hot from the microwave just so she wouldn’t have to leave her post to add “waitress” to her, already ridiculous amount of work. Then the Target rent-a-cop saw my effort and had a straw waiting for me when I went to get my heart stopping caffinated soda. I’d like to think we started a chain of love at the Target food court. That after I left the poor super multi-tasker didn’t lose her shit and fall to the ground sobbing under the stress covered in liquid cheese and frozen hot dogs. I like to think that every new person who ordered helped someone else and together we brought peace and love to the worlds most perfect shopping location … Target.

(It’s perfection made only more obvious when I walked to the door and realized THERE IS A NEW “FRESH” FOOD SECTION. TAKE THAT MEAN PEOPLE AT WHOLE FOODS. I CAN NOW DO ALL MY SHOPPING IN THE LOVING ARMS OF THE RED AND WHITE!)
