Yes, I am a sucker...

Today I went tanning… I know, I know, I know it’s bad for your skin. If there was another place I could lie in a warm bed without any noise or interruption I would pay to go there, but this is all I have for now. Corbet happily watches the kids while I go take my 15 minute break from my little noise machines. The real story is not that I went tanning it is that I am a sucker! While I am waiting for the lady before me to get out of the bed and for the bed to get cleaned, (Yuck, don’t even want to think about sharing a tanning bed) I was talking to the owner of the shop. She also sells cute home décor stuff. She was telling me about these reusable wash cloths… Yeah I know what you are thinking. ”Aren’t all wash clothes reusable?” But I guess these ones are different because they are more like paper towels. I’m thinking… “Lady I already have the SHAM WOW so you are not getting me on this one!” However, she told me that she didn’t know if I lived on my own because I look so young. Just yesterday I started taking note about the lines around my eyes when I smile, so her saying this felt really good. I couldn’t reach for my wallet fast enough. I all of the sudden found a use for those reusable paper towels! Then my mind said wait… you are a sucker once again… don’t you remember the bad waitress?


A few months ago we went out to eat and got very poor service. I am a stickler about poor service, especially in this economy. If the service is no good the tip is no good. I was a waitress once and I know good service can be done! So anyway, we got bad service and we were determined to give a poor tip. When the waitress brought our check she went on and on about how cute our kids were. All of the sudden her serving skills didn’t seem so bad. Corbet took the kids to load them in the car and I was left to leave the tip… so what did I do, I left her a generous tip. The whole way home I realized I got hosed. I fessed up to my man and he in fact called me a sucker.

Back to the tanning bed lady, I told her I would think about it. So while I am supposed to be taking my 15 minute break I am thinking about these stupid reusable paper towels and if they were as great as she said they were. My break was up and I was called back to work. I was going to buy them I had decided, but the person waiting next for the bed was an old man and it shocked me right out of it, so I left. Do old guys really tan? Well, they shouldn’t, don’t they know it’s bad for their skin?
