Last night I was sitting on the couch reading Facebook and Brad was in the bathroom shaving. One of my friends posted an article by Dave Ramsey and I couldn’t help but share it with Brad….
Me: Brad! BRAD! Dave Ramsey agrees with me 100%!!!!!
Brad: Oh, really? About what?
Me: Things you should splurge on. Here, I’ll read it to you… Toilet Paper: living like no one else shouldn’t require a rash or a new walking style. Trash Bags: Go with the paper-thin plastic bags if you really want to. But realize that as soon as the plastic snaps, you’re the one on your hands and knees picking up Junior’s used diapers, those mashed potatoes from two days ago and that half-eaten can of pinto beans. Bedsheets: Turns out, sleeping on sandpaper isn’t comfortable unless you are a two-by-four.
{All of the above items Brad and I have gone back and forth over. I say, spend a little extra money and be comfortable. He says, “No”. Over and over again. So, in our house, it comes down to who does the shopping that particular trip, or if I’m with him when he’s shopping. Except toilet paper, I absolutely HAD to put my foot down on the toilet paper issue. Wiping your nether-regions with sandpaper is for the birds.}
Brad: Huh. Well, did Dave mention anything about if you have a Great Dane named Hemmingway in that article?
Me: No.
Brad: Well, I think he should have. Therefore, I believe that the bedsheets point should have an asterisk next to it and it should say “Unless you have a Great Dane named Hemmi, and then buy cheap because he’s just going to eat your sheets anyways.
Touche, Brad. Touche.
Happy Friday Ya’ll!
