Why-ning

Often I have silly, sometimes rhetorical, questions that plague my mind. Here are a few:

Why...

...is it that any time I find something at a store (clothes, shoes, etc) that the item is, most of the time, out stock of the size that I need? It doesn't matter if I'm looking for a shirt for Caleb in size 4t, they're gone! The annoying thing is that all the other sizes (one size smaller or larger) are always fully stocked. Then the following year, if I'm looking for a 5t, then it doesn't fail that they are out of it, again. It's a conspiracy I tell ya!

...does a clean kitchen give me such joy?

...do I feel the need to always tell people where I got something and how much I spent on it when either a) they compliment the item. or b) I get a great deal on something....it never fails, I just can't not tell them!

...are the kids so precious when they sleep?

...do I get emails notifying me that I've won big money in the UK lottery? I don't, and never have, played in any lottery. (maybe I should start?)

...is it that I can not bring myself to throw away a set of crummy kitchen towels I bought a few months ago? They are crappy, I tell ya, but I just can't make myself throw them away. I think about it every time I either pull one out of the drawer to use (because it is the last clean one) or when I fold it after it's been washed. Oh! I actually know the answer to this one....I'm cheap and can't stand the thought of wasting a few dollars.

...does Costco not give out samples from their bakery?

...did I just receive two issues of Field & Stream magazine? I am not a outdoorsy person. I haven't picked up a fishing pole in probably twenty years and I've never hunted a single creature on God's green earth. So why am I now the owner of the latest issues of Field & Stream? Is this a practical joke??? (anyone want me to forward them 'The Accuracy Issue' or the 'Big Bucks Now'?)

Funny post!

I too love a clean kitchen, must tell people about a good deal, and wish Costco gave out bakery samples!

I think you getting Field and Stream magazine is hilarious!
