Comparison Shop



Here we have the first option:  After finding out that you have misfiled $20 of your allowance, you rush to Target to buy... anything!  You want a specific Barbie, after discovering no store within 10 miles carries it, you quickly shift to wanting anything- just as long as you spend $20.  You even offer to buy Pokemon cards just to get rid of the money.  After several heart to hearts with your mother you settle on a Barbie pool and a jeep to drive them there.  Cost:  $20.












This is the second option.  You spot your sisters new Barbie pool with real water!  You circle around her for a couple of minutes and then you make your move.  You tap your finger in the water a few times and she tells you to go away.  Then inspiration strikes, you run to the kitchen, grab a spoon and begin stirring the pool Barbie and all.  Your sister goes into hysterics causing your mom to dig out old tupperware and a few plastic toys thus providing you with your own "pool."
Cost- Free.  Added bonus- Your sister in hysterics can be very entertaining.

Eliana quote


"I didn't know it was going to be so slippery."  I guess I had failed to warn her that ice is  slippery.  After asking to quit after the first circle, she ended up loving it and is now begging for lessons.

Time Management


When you are waiting 2 hours for Costco to tell you that your tire is unfixable, it helps to bring your laptop so you can get some work done.
