I mostly deprive myself from retail. I like to be all sorts of proud of how little spending I do. The reality is, if you don't go to retail stores then you don't buy stuff. Easy. From time to time I must venture out to provision for the household. In these times my deprivation can get the best of me. Last week I purchased something not on my list.
Impulse purchase it was and brilliance at that.
This bamboo dry erase desk top message board is my new best friend. "Needed" a little place to jot down phone messages, aha moments and all the things I am in danger of forgetting on a given day. No need to look for, then lose or waste a piece of paper. It's eco, it's sassy and darn it if not rather useful.
A problem arrose very soon after it was put to use at our house. An un-named person started leaving me daily to do lists on my nifty new board:
After the 3rd day of this offensive mis-use I started leaving some back:
Finally my sassy message board is back to being used for it's original purpose. The offender has moved on. Phew, 'cause I didn't want to risk returning to retail to return it and worse yet, suffer another retail driven impulse. Back to normal we are minding our own business.
