Last night, we realized...oh no! Out of dog food! And being parents that know one of our dogs has a very weak stomach to chicken and to artificial dyes in food, we had to put a run to Petsmart on the list. It was my turn.
So, at lunch, I zipped over to State of Franklin Road, and was very happy to find that they were still doing the $5 gift certificate when you go and buy the Nutro food that I had to purchase.
Well, I got to the aisle...and there were 3 bags in front of me. But one of them...and only one of them had this big bright yellow at the bottom that said, "10% More- FREE!"
Perfect, with one exception...this was the bag at the bottom of the shelf with the others on top. I thought...and I thought...and I actually considered not grabbing that bag, because--for some silly reason-- I felt embarrassed for wanting to move the other two bags off the top. Not because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to move them--despite the fact that they were each 40 pounds. No! It was the motive for wanting to move the other bags. I felt greedy for wanting the extra 4 pounds of food. I know that's silly, but in that one moment...I felt ridiculous for really wanting it!! Then, I felt ridiculous for standing there. So, I guess I got over my fear...because I moved the bags--both of the others, because they were so heavy I couldn't move one and slide the other out--and then hoisted it on my shoulder...carried it through the store...put it on the counter...and out to the car....after paying of course :) So, if you were hoping to find that bag with the extra 10%. Sorry, I took it. Greedy, Greedy, Greedy :)
Blushing with embarrassment,
CH
PS- Thanks to those extra 4 pounds. I gotta go see my chiropractor. I'm coming over, Dr. Craig!
