VIP My Ass!

Titusville has arrived. The new Target store is up and running and has a Starbucks in it (AHHH!). I am so excited that the long standing rumor of a Target in Titusville has finally come true!

So, Becky knows one of the managers of the new store and he invited her to the "VIP" opening of Target tonight. The grand opening isn't until Sunday so she thought she was getting a sneak preview. She invited me and my mom since we're Titusville VIPs too. Actually, we're more like celebrity hangers-on but we always know the good gossip. We expected to breeze into Target and be greeted by happy baristas handing us our lattes. We thought we'd be a couple of the only people in the store, happily browsing the aisles at a leisurely pace. HAHAHAHA! We were stupid to believe that!

The store was open and we were able to breeze in but the place was freaking packed! I think all of North Brevard county was there. It was like somebody printed an invitation in the newspaper. The place was a mad-house, there were people everywhere. It was quite frustrating actually. We didn't even attempt the Starbucks line!

I ended up buying a couple of things. Some dog food, a dog toy, a shirt for me and some hamburger buns. Very glamorous, I know. I did manage to get one over on the store though. The girl didn't charge me for my big bag of dog food. I know she scanned it because I held it up to her and she ran her hand held bar code thing over it. She must've deleted it or something. What's even funnier is that security stopped me at the door and asked to see my receipt and he still didn't catch it! Oh well, maybe that was my VIP discount.

Anyway, I did want to say one thing about Lindsey Lohan. That girl is a tragedy. She has so much to offer and just keeps f-ing up her life. It's crazy. I hope she can get her shizz together. She and Britney Spears need to undergo some serious personal and career counseling before it's too late for both of them. Not that you care, but that's my two cents on the world of celeb right now.

You are so funny! Your VIP in my book! You should just move to Jacksonville where they have a Starbucks on every corner....and they all have a drive through! I even have 5 Target stores all within 10 minutes of my house...beat that!

Yeah but you also have crazy traffic and never ending bridge building in Jax. I swear they're trying to build a bridge to China or something. I'll stick with T-ville.
