Email Accounts..Who's Counting

It must be a Monday thing. I wake up, and I have 67 emails first thing in the morning. Now, if the bank account is looking good, then of course I scroll through and check out all of the different sales and promotions going on. If it's near the end of the month, then I just do one big mass delete, because I know that it's just not going to happen and I don't want to even get my hopes up. But what I have learned is that there is always a sale going on (this is something that my husband always tells me, but I don't like to acknowledge when he says it).

I've had the same plain jane first and last name email for so long, but obviously when I got married I had to get a new one - a new plain jane first and last name email naturally. My original email account had become so infiltrated with retail emails that it was almost a little psychotic. Secretly I was excited about having a clean email account that would only be used for shirts and school - real emails with real people.

And then it hit me. Smack dab in the middle of my computer screen...

Like, seriously?? I only wanted to come check out the new Color Bar. But if you insist..

I bet you can guess where this story is going. I now have two email accounts, two sets of coupons, and retail emails oozing out of my inboxes, but who's counting? It's a sickness, really. These sales and discounts somehow brain wash you, and you feel like you'll get left out unless you subscribe. Lately though I have been really proud of myself because I haven't spent much of anything at all this summer, but when I do I'm getting a good deal! That's what I have to keep telling the husband. Hey, at least I have good intentions.
