I guess I just have an overly sensitive snoot. Or perhaps an allergy to craft stores.

Someone once tried to convince me that the folks who owned Michaels were avid George W Bush supporters. I figured they usually have what I want for cheap.

nearly half of Americans between ages 18 and 24 do not think it necessary to know the location of other countries in which important news is being made. More than a third consider it "not at all important" to know a foreign language, and only 14 percent consider it "very important."
Good news is, I have figured how to use block quotes. Bad news is I have a sneaking suspicion this statistic might actually be close to valid. As a teacher of college freshmen and sophomores (mostly) in our rhetoric and composition program I am continually amazed at what my students don't know when they come into my classroom. I know I am only a child of the 80s-90s but "back in my day" we took geography. . .right?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My MiL is obsessed with getting things framed, but I have to say she's right. A good frame is KEY. It can make all the difference. Of course my big problem is getting all the pretty framed things UP ON THE WALL. It's a shame I'm so damn lazy.
Okay, why is it so friggin' cold today? I can't take the kids to the park, they'll freeze their asses off.

I'm that sensitive too. Which means I generally have a plan and limit idle browsing. Or, take breaks at the coffee shop which seems to follow every Micheal's around.

I've had a spastic sudden coughing fit the last 3 times I've been waiting in line at a Victoria's Secret. I hold my breath when I walk past the Yankee Candle in the mall for the same reason.
I probably haven't been in a Michaels in decades. I keep thinking of places but..nope that one was an AC Whatever, the other was a Hobby Lobby... I don't even know where one is.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Can't go in either of those stores without discomfort, have a very hard time in Sephora, tend to sprint through the perfume part of department stores, cannot go in LUSH for more than a minute. I think I can get away with craft stores because I can go hide in the paper and fabric areas.
I love craft stores for the same reason I love hardware stores - so much possibility. So many ideas. So many fun things to do. That I'll never get to, admittedly, but still. It's the concept.
