The downside is that the smell of their kitty litter casuses my allergies to act up and I've been blowing my nose regularly for the last 3 hours. And secondly, I failed to ask what their network key was so I can't use my own computer for internet. I feel like it's possible to look it up somehow on a computer that was already connected, but haven't remembered or figured out how yet. Luckily though, they have a laptop that's wirelessly connected, so I can still survive.
As a cause of that, I was exposed to a new homepage -- cnn.com --and was enticed by some of their articles and thereby reminded of some pleasurable memories. I was reading this article about how some American companies are still doing well despite the economy. Among others, they featured Target (which I love) and had to read on. It mentioned how the Target bullseye was one of the most recognizable logos. This is when my reflection occurred....
Many years ago, I really wanted a pair of these:
Remember these?
I've always been one for a good deal, so I wanted to find a generic version (who needs quality when you're a kid buying it yourself) and had looked everywhere. Whoever I was with pulled into a store I didn't really recognize, but I went in and found my sandals! They were black with purple and green zig-zags on the straps. I remember holding them in the bag on the way home and loving them. Someone asked me later where I had gotten them and I didn't know the name, but I remembered how they had a big bullseye on the sign.
I remember later seeing the store again somewhere else and I got really excited and knew that I liked that store. Crazy eh? I totally remember feeling like that, and not knowing where I was but remembering the logo. True testimony of branding.
