GOTCHA!

I'M A SUCKER!

There, I admit it.

I bought something yesterday that I’ve wanted for awhile.

I’d been seeing it on TV for at least a few months.

But I never felt like getting up off the couch, getting my wallet, and calling in the order.

And so I let those moments to buy it pass.

But each time I saw it advertised on TV, I kept wanting it.

And then I quit seeing the commercial.

After a few weeks, I sort of forgot about it.

And then just yesterday . . .

I SAW IT!

In Beds Bath And Beyond.

It was right there by the cash register and . . .

My wallet was already out and . . .

My fingers were in the process of pulling my credit card out and . . .

There were only a few of these left on the shelf and so . . .

I just had to . . .

BUY IT!

Damn it!

I’m such a sucker for “impulse” buying.

And by impulse buying I know you know what I mean.

It’s all those products strategically placed by cash registers that in your wildest dreams you never go into a store to buy.

But when these products are right there in front of your face . . .

You decide right then that you need it.

And then you buy it.

So yes, I admit it.

I was a sucker for this impulse purchase.

But it gets worse . . .

I didn't just buy this product because it was sitting by the cash register.

I bought it because it promised to make me . . .

Look younger.

OUCH!

That hurt my pride to admit that.

But it’s the truth.

If a product, cream, or gadget promises to make me look younger . . .

And is within my budget . . .

I will buy it.

So . . . drum roll please

TA DAH!

Here’s my new gadget.

The Neckline Slimmer.

Hopefully, I’ll use it everyday.

And within in a few weeks my neck and jawline will look fabulous and . . .

I'll look younger!

Rather than in a few weeks . . .

It will wind up collecting dust on the shelf next to my . . .

Suzanne Somer’s Facemaster and . . .

The Gavanic spa and . . .

The Strivectin neck cream and . . .

All the other products I’ve bought to make me look younger . . .

On impulse!

Oh, well.

It only cost ten bucks.

I’ll just think of it as my Christmas present to me.

Always, Em-Musing

 P.S. I’ll keep you posted.
