I was at Target yesterday, buying Grape Nuts and waiting patiently for the Libertine stuff to arrive, when I realized the Great Summer Switch had happened. You know the one--suddenly the garden and barbecue aisles become devoted to crayons and backpacks, and everything is all about school supplies and Fall and things in which one can store said school supplies. While I am a little upset about summer being so cruelly snatched from those who can enjoy it most (school-age children and teachers), I have to confess a deep dark dorky secret: I love back-to-school shopping. I have not lived in a dorm room for ages, yet I needed to check out all of Target's offerings for dorm residents, at some points wondering how I could work items like a hot pink laundry basket into my own home.

I don't do nearly as much damage in the garden and barbecue aisles.
