Shopping ESP

Boy, am I one lucky girl!  "Ask and you shall receive" is the saying, I believe.  When we first moved to the Hudson Valley, I was so bummed because there was no Macy's.  I drove about 35 minutes to Danbury to use my one day shopping pass and hit all the after holiday sales.  It was such a hike!  Then a few months into living here, Filene stores were all replaced by Macy's!  YEA!  Seeing that my monthly trek to Danbury could now be done weekly, or heck, daily right down the road to the Galleria!  Woohoo!  Alright, one store down....next came Target.  Nothing, nada, zip- if you wanted a bargain you had to hit Walmart- yuck!  Tada- a few months later- Target opened oppostite Macy's.  Ok, now the big sheeebang.....where to go for tchotkes, knickknacks, 50% off cards, holiday items- THE CHRISTMAS TREE SHOP!  Guess what opened last week across from Target?  Yep, you guessed it- THE CHRISTMAS TREE SHOP!  Holy crap!  What luck!  Someone must have Shopping ESP or big corporations call for desperate measures in desperate times- open stores where Melissa lived in order to pull this country out of economic disaster!  I'm about $300 in after TCTS being opened for one full week...just doing my part to rescue the economy.
