Shocking…and ruinous. I wouldn’t have expected temptation from such an upstanding business, but there it was in my mailbox. All bright colors and clever details. Temptation. Irresistible temptation. A fine nationally known business, my enabler. I know, I will give in, but worse, there was with the temptation, encouragement to pressure someone else into this terrible, wonderful addiction, too.
A coupon from Office Max: $10.00 off any $30.00 purchase, plus a coupon for a friend. Huh, that’s how they get you.
Later today,( I’ll resist. I will get my edits done, first. I can control myself that long) I’m gone. I’m partaking of a whole store full of supplies. I’ll wander. I’ll touch, and I’ll find just $30.00 worth of happiness. That’s all. It will be enough…for now.
I hope.
And I’ll give that extra coupon to a child. It’s best to lure a child into this kind of lifelong addiction. I just can’t decide which of my grandchildren to tempt, but I will tempt one of them.
