I went to a popular home goods store today after work, searching for a birthday present for my mom. I was under pressure because I was headed to my grandparents' for a belated birthday dinner in the evening, and as it is I wasn't sure what to get her. I searched in every department and did not find a thing. I did see a couple of wine racks that I liked, but she's not big on drinking wine so I had to pass on that. I saw a very cute paper towel holder that matches her red kitchen, but it's the kind that takes up space on the countertop, so that was a no. (her countertop is pretty crowded as it is). I finally gave up after wandering around the store for what seemed like forever. Now I owe her a birthday persent, and it's got to be a good one to make up for the tardiness.
I very much dislike unsuccessful shopping excursions.
