When I tell people I am making a quick trip to Target, I'm lying. Who makes a "quick trip" to Target? No one just simply walks in and walks out with all the things they needed. A trip to Target is always an adventure. It's honestly a black hole that traps you inside and you don't even realize it until you leave two hours later with a trunk full of bags. Here are the stages of shopping at Target:

1. Finding a parking spot.

2. Typing in your phone the five things you need.

3. Grabbing a basket because you only need a few things (but then eventually going back to get a cart).

4. Making a pit stop at Starbucks for no reason.

5. When you see the $3 and under section.

6. Deciding you need a pair of $1 fuzzy socks for whatever holiday it is.

7. Stopping at every sample station on the days they are out.

8. Debating on buying those healthy drinks because they are buy-one-get-one.

9. Going down every aisle of the grocery section.

10. Looking at the fun designer luggage and wanting to buy it even though you aren't going on a trip anytime soon.

11. Going down the blanket aisle and obviously buying a new soft blanket.

12. Trying on basically every shoe that has your size.

13. Looking through the holiday/seasonal section knowing you aren't buying any of it.

14. Stopping by the workout aisle and thinking to yourself how you should work out more.

15. Checking out the new kid toys, questioning why you didn't have things like that as a child.

16. Galavanting through the swimsuits and clothes wondering when Target got such cute things.

17. Looking at the workout attire thinking you'd workout more in those leggings.

18. Finally making your way to the checkout after two hours.

19. Questioning how your total came to $95 and 12 bags when you only came for five items.

20. Packing your bags into your car.

21. Getting on the road only to realize you forgot two of the five things you originally went to Target for.
