A quick trip to Goodwill

Yep. Unfortunately there are about 3 Goodwill stores very near me. I say that because I need to live in a field 200 miles from the nearest place where they sell anything. Seriously.

But here is the good news! While I was standing in line, I was conversing with a fellow "consumer" about how we loved Goodwill. Then she proceeded to tell me that on Tuesdays seniors get a 15% discount. WHAT????? It happened to be Tuesday and you would have thought she just gave me a winning lottery ticket. On the one hand "yippee I am a senior citizen" and on the other hand "OMG.....I hate that!" Why do they call it "senior citizen" at all. I mean senior used to be a good word, like when you were in the 11th grade you could not WAIT to be a senior. So OK...maybe that was the LAST time I was excited about that word. And citizen. We are all citizens. Don't single me out with senior in front of it. I'm just a good citizen doing my part to keep the economy from tanking even more that it already is.

I wanted to take a knife out and "cut her" not because of what she said but because she had 4 custom made silk curtains panels in the most beautiful green ever in her cart. I just missed them. 14.00 each plus that dang 15% discount.

My sister said that they call it "gray power" in California. That cracked me up. Another reason to keep paying a gazillion dollars a year to my hairdresser.

But back to what is important here.

My purchases. That I paid just 21.00 for. With the massive 15% discount.
