This Could Have Been Me
Amber called me yesterday.
Reader: Who is Amber?
Amber is a sales associate at Maurcies here in La Crosse.
Reader: You can’t shop? You didn’t buy the boots? Why was she calling you?
You’re right. I didn’t. And, I was just as surprised as you are. . . . Answer: I had won an After Hours Splurge Party for myself and five or more of my friends. Brady had put my name in for the prize months upon months ago. I thought those contests were just a trick to get more customers. Note to all women, you really can win from them!
I could choose any day. I would receive 30% off all merchandise, and my guest would receive 15%. They would even provide us all with goodie bags!
Reader: What did you say?
Come on. I said, “No” of course.
Then Amber said, “Are you sure?”
She was very puzzled as to why anyone would turn this down. Women just don’t do that sort of thing. I had to tell her the truth: “My New Years resolution is to not buy any new clothes for the year.”
Amber was silent, and then finally said in a very upbeat tone, (She was super nice.) “Well, good luck with that.”
I need more than luck; I need a redo.
