My Mom is in bed tonight and I should be too. I had a momentary lapse of reason and ate an unbelievable amount of chocolate. I hate it when I do that. I also got duped into buying a necklace from this shop in the mall called..well...I don't even know what it was called but they had all these religious things supposedly from Israel and I was just looking around and a lot of it was kind of cheesy. I think there was an ark of the covenant and maybe some John the Baptist shower curtains, Mary and Joseph salt and pepper shakers. Anyway...I am typically so good at watching how I spend my money but there was this Palestinian Christian in there and this Jewish guy and they were sort of overwhelming and I kind of knew they were schmoozling me because they didn't know crap about the bible. I was like, "what is this". Anyway...I bought a necklace for all I know it is aluminum for $65.00..ouch. It was supposed to be a calvary necklace...yeah..sure. I wanted some anointing oil and their was this thing with more anointing oil than you could use in a lifetime called spikenard. It had a tiny scroll with it and I got both items for $90.00 bucks...man I got Jewed. Then I turn around and they are closed and the receipt says "No refunds only exchanges" So my daughter says, Mom did they have maybe an air freshener or something we could actually use instead of the trinkets? Then I smelled the oil and it smelled like cooking oil or old olive oil. No spices. Those are the kind of experiences that keep me humble but hopefully my husband will see it that way but I doubt it. He'll more than likely have a meltdown for a few minutes and then I'll have to get frisky with him and promise to fix the situation. How do I do it....get myself into these things. They happen infrequently and so I think I let my guard down. Pray for my stupid self please. love michaiah
