1. We are all obsessed with Target

Call me crazy but I’m not even excited about the fact that one Target plans to install a bar within its aisles of gorgeous home decor and overpriced workout attire. I mean, what would I do? Drink a bottle of wine with my kids in my cart and then go sleep it off on that Pinterest-worthy pillow?
