We had a fantastic vacation. Much needed. Hudson had a blast swimming and ruling the condo. I love vacations. I love relaxing, eating all I want, napping, and finishing books I'm reading.
My husband loves taking the free shampoos/lotions, shower caps, and mouthwash they give you in the hotel rooms we stayed in on the way down and back home.
I always get home and I'm cleaning out his bag and find all these tiny bottles. What do you do with the bottles? Do I put them in our cabinets or keep them in the bags? I once read you can sit them out for guests you have. We don't have that many guests!
I asked him, "David dear, why do you always take the free toiletries from the bathroom at the hotels?"
He replies, "Their Free!!! You never know when you might need them!"
I have to add, that I am almost positive we will NEVER be so poor that we cannot afford shampoo, lotion, or mouthwash. Also, I have not once in my life used a shower cap.

Retail Therapy
I never really realized how much I despise retail workers. It starts with the fact of them being the snobbiest people I have EVER met. I want to look at them and say, "You make maybe $6 an hour. I make way more than you and I CAN afford your clothes!" I mean if you dare walk out of their store and not buy anything they look at you like, "Are you kidding me? You couldn't find anything in MY store?"
I also feel like some stores, I will just call them, THE LIMITED and CHARLOTTE RUSSE, look at me when I walk in and say with their eyes, "You can't fit into anything in this store, what are you doing in here?"
That's when I say with my eyes, "You are completely correct... but I love your jewelry!"
Also, for goodness sakes, I DO NOT want to sign up for your freaking credit card. If I want 10% off today I will let you know! This guy yesterday at GAP actually told me it would help him out SO much if I would sign up for one. I said, "Well, you don't know the trouble it will get me in when I get into the car!" He did not take this as a NO. He continued with actually begging me to sign up for one! I was shocked. Kid, your little "reward" for getting me to sign up is not worth the interest rate I'm going to be charged when I will not pay off this card monthly. Your little "reward" is not worth me planning a funeral, because I rack up an incredible amount of money on there and keep it a secret from my husband and then he finds a bill and opens it and has a heart attack.
Also, just because you are having a "Buy one get one 1/2 off" sale, does that mean I HAVE to get another shirt! I came in for one shirt, and one shirt only.
It does usually mean I will leave with at least 2 shirts!! Seriously, that sell gets me every time!
Oh, retailers! You are such a love/hate relationship.
