Yesterday, I was at my happy place (Target) enjoying the many delights that The Store has to offer. I turned the corner to peruse the clothing section when my senses were assaulted by this:
Leggings. With cats flying through space. CATS! FLYING THROUGH SPACE! CATS!!
I had so many conflicting thoughts going through my head:
Me: “Those are all kinds of wrong.”
Myself: “But they’re CATS. FLYING THROUGH SPACE!”
Me: “So, so very wrong. They’re fucking horrible.”
Myself: “Do you see their cute little paws out in front of them? Like they’re actually flying?”
Me: “You haven’t looked good in leggings since high school.”
Myself: “And the stars! So many pretty stars!”
Me: “And it’s debatable that you looked good in leggings then.”
Myself: “And look at the auras around each of the kitties. So cute…”
Me: “Well… I could make endless pussy jokes. And FLYING pussy jokes. I bet Dan would think they’re hot.”
Myself (feeling the fabric): “Or, I could just wear them while working out…”
Me: “They’re so ridiculous. So fabulously ridiculous.”
While I stood there debating, I decided to take a picture of the leggings. You know, just to prove that they were actually real. Colin, who is my shopping buddy, took his focus off of his ICEE long enough to notice the leggings.
Colin: “Awwwwwwww, those are so cute. They have kitties on them. You should buy them, Mom.”
Then, in an unprecedented moment of fiscal responsibility, I decided not to purchase the leggings.
Me: “No. They are not on our list. And money is tight right now.”
Colin shrugged, and we walked away. How easily he forgot about them.
The problem was, after we left The Store, I kept thinking about them. And I kept looking at the picture I took of them. So, finally, I sent the picture to Mr. Foxy.
His response?
“I hope you bought those…”

Those are awesome and would absolutely PERFECT with that sweatshirt.
Thanks, Kate. Should my husband question my sanity, I’m going to show him your stamp of approval. ‘Cuz he can’t argue with that.
Those are some pants. I’m amazed they have so many to buy. Like, they didn’t sell out immediately. It boggles the mind.
RIGHT?! I couldn’t believe there wasn’t a crowd fighting over them. I was able to walk RIGHT UP to them and take a picture. Amazing. I bet they’re all gone now tho.
Those leggings are absolutely AWESOME!!!! I don’t have the body for leggings but my daughter would go batshit crazy for them. I must see if Target here in Canada sells those!
Sadly, they were all out when I went back. I hope you have better luck.
My favorite part: “assaulted my senses.”
My daughter would totally LOVE those. Gotta go. Gotta run to Target now!
Did you ever go back for them? Did they have them in stock? Because they didn’t when I went back. But then I went to a different Target…
