Life lesson #1

I entitled this blog lessons in life but I haven't really talked about any lessons yet I don't think. So I have decided to start today. Lesson #1. Even on a budget, there are some things you just can't go cheap on. take for instance my sister. She recntly learned this lesson very well. As stated in previous blogs, I have mentioned that my sister recently moved into a place of her own with her son. She has been unpacking stuff from my parents' house and our best friend's house. At one time in her life my sister was a clothes and shoes horse. This was before her son and both excuses of a husband. It was her first night in the apartment by herself due to an overnight my nephew had with his dad. I am down here and my parents had come to visit and also pick up a lazyboy I was giving her. I get a text message from her stating to "never buy cheap trash bags" to which I responded"why, do you have S--T everywhere." I guess Laura finally decided to downsize on her clothes and shoes. She put stuff in the trashbags and was heading out to the dumpster when the bag ripped and went everywhere. So here she is outside in shorts and a tanktop(minus a bra) bent over trying to pick this stuff up. From the sounds of it, she could have been giving the neighbors a good show. So the moral to this Life's Lesson: Hefty is the only way to go. Oh and always make sure you're decent when you step outside, even if it is to take out the garbage.

LOL! I use generic brands for a lot of stuff. Not trash bags. I too learned this lesson the hard way a few years ago.

She stopped over the other day and we traded a box of sandwich bags I needed for a handful of my force-flex trash bags, haha.
