Day 3 of breaking habit

I’m actually doing pretty good with this whole nail biting thing. I thought I would have to succumb to dabbing my fingers in hot sauce or nail-polish remover.  

On day 2, I went shopping at Macys and got a new pair of pants.

My friend Travis went with me. Why is this important?

…you’ll see.

I was purchasing the pants at the cash register when the worker asked me if I would like a Macys credit card. 

The following conversation is between me, Travis, Macys guy, and Travis’ inner thoughts.

      So would you like to purchase a Macys credit card?
      
      (Don’t be a jackass Sammy. Use your head.)

      So it won’t cost me anything?

      No. It’s free. And you’ll get good deals monthly.

      (Say no.)

      I don’t know. What do you think Travis?
  
      I don’t care. Whatever you want man.

      (Don’t be an idiot.)

      Alright. I’ll do it. 

      (I can’t believe he’s going to be an idiot.)

      Maybe you should think about it Sammy. It is a credit card and if your going to get a credit card, you       should probably do it through your bank.

      You’re probably right. No thanks on the credit card.

The Macy’s card then said good day to his bonus as I walked out. He probably wanted to kill Travis.

I share this only to show that I am a sheep when it comes to shopping. You can probably sell anything to me. A couple years ago, I went with Travis and Nate shopping and we were in in this store that was having a sale because Christmas just happened.

There was this worker there who was with me the whole time. He was very helpful. I bought some clothes and two pairs of shoes from him. He almost got me to buy a few pairs of socks but Travis and Nate intervened at that point.

After I said my thanks to the worker, his response was, “hey, no problem. I don’t even work here.”

And then he walked off.

I’ve told myself that I’m not allowed to go shopping by myself.

Otherwise, I would end up in debt within minutes.
